I am a very indecisive person. Menus at restaurants overwhelm me, I applied to 12 colleges, and the cereal display in the dining halls leaves me stumped. I can never make up my mind. When I went to the study abroad fair for the first time, I walked out with a backpack full of pamphlets and papers from countries all over the globe, the thought of choosing where to go drained me. After catching the end of the symposium and hearing some of the people talk about their Cape Town experience last year, my mind was made up, I was going to Cape Town. The fact that I had a clear preference made the application process that much more important to me, I needed to go to Cape Town. The internship, the culture, and the people are what make this program so different. I feel like anyone could go somewhere in Europe and have a great time studying abroad, but it takes a particular kind of person to want to go to Cape Town. Now that we’ve all been accepted, I am so excited to go, I want to hike table mountain, I want to swim at the beach, I want to see the penguins waddling around on the sand. I can’t wait to spend nearly 4 months across the world with people who seem to care about change as much as I do, Cape Town, here we come.
