List of Things I Surprisingly Miss

I'm surprised about the things that I'm missing while abroad. I did not realize how much a part of my life these things are until now.



1. My wardrobe - Getting dressed up really is my hobby and it makes me so happy to dress cute. I brought my favorite warm clothes but there's so much you can do with the same items. The shopping in Germany sucks so there goes my hopes of buying cute European clothes. Everything is so cheap looking, has cheap material, and just is not tailored well. Hopefully when I travel out of Germany, there will be something interesting. The girls here aren't even inspiring. They all wear the same ugly jeans, flat boots (no cute heels), a scarf, and the same leather jacket or black peacoat.

2. Weed - Didn't think I smoked that much but I guess I do smoke on average once a week. We're trying to go to Amsterdam this week-end so that could solve that problem but we have to wait to get our passports back from the student Visa place.

3. Hollywood Clubs - Hollywood does it up big. They're so fancy, elegant, and fun full of important/rich people (at least they think they are), celebrities, and beautiful people. It's so fun getting dressed up, getting in free, and getting free alcohol all night. My Euros are dissapearing quickly because of my drinking habits. They don't have house parties with large amounts of popov and keg beer or let you in free because you're good looking. I'm mostly referencing the times with Kyrsti.

But I do like all of the electronica here and the lack of awful hip hop songs everywhere. Germans are so strange and behind the times though, a lot of their bars/clubs play music from the 50s through 70s and songs that were popular in the 90s (they skipped the 80s, sucks cuz that's my fave).

4. LMU Frat Parties - I thought that I would miss frat guys the least but they threw some chill parties. Free alcohol and you could just walk around and know about half of the party. The guys come up to you rather than creepily stare at you for five minutes waiting for you to come up to them like German men.
