Week 7

Hey everyone, an interesting week here in Eugene. It's snowed a lot since Sunday and school got cancelled on Monday, delayed on Tuesday, and then cancelled on Wednesday again (today) because of the snow we received Tuesday night. I have never seen this much snow in South Carolina and know if it ever snowed like this in Columbia, school will most certainly be cancelled for the whole week. Anyways, the initial euphoria of the snow wasn't long lived. It was awesome to be able to see the snow fall and enjoy it with other students, but the power went out for several hours and all the stores and shops closed. I couldn't do anything for much of Monday since everything was closed and there was no power. Thankfully, it got restored later Monday night and I was able to do some homework and shower with light. Oregon looks even more beautiful when it's dressed with snow and I'm attaching pictures at the bottom to show you guys. Tomorrow there is a 10 A.M. delay, but I won't miss any classes because my first class is at 10 /:. The term is coming to a close and my last classes will be on March 14th. I bought my plane ticket to go back to South Carolina for spring break and will be flying from Portland to Denver to Charlotte and then driving home to Columbia. I already feel like I have grown a lot and gained a lot of confidence in the past two months by myself, and am looking forward to see if any of the people I'm close with have noticed any changes. Only thing is, I'm a bit tired of all the cold weather as my lips are extremely chapped and my skin is ashy all the time (lol). It's going to be nice to be back in South Carolina to get some sun and relatively warm weather for a little bit before I come back and finish my last term from April to June here in Oregon. But if you guys want to hear about anything specific, please let me know in the comments. The template I've been using is just recapping the events of the week and how I'm doing and some pictures sprinkled here and there. Anyways, talk to you guys next week.

Week 1

I have been in Oregon for approximately two weeks now. I didn't start classes until January 7th so today marks a week that I've been in school. Life is dramatically different here. Academically, there is no significant deviation between the rigor and workload of the University of South Carolina and the University of Oregon. Oregon is quicker paced, however, considering they are on a quarter system that ends in 10 weeks rather than South Carolina's 14 week semester system. Students here dress differently. Intuitively, there is no Southern Tide or Vineyard Vines. The main brand of apparel here is Vans. The average student at the University of Oregon would likely be classified as a "hipster" at the University of South Carolina. The sentiment around the University and Eugene in general is certainly more liberal than of the one in South Carolina. There are all gender bathrooms throughout campus and there are dispensaries on almost every corner. The oxygen here feels ex

Week 5 & 6

The past week and a half has been incredibly busy for me between managing school, my mom visiting, and doing other trips around Oregon. I went to Portland last Wednesday with the school to see the Portland Trailblazers play the Golden State Warriors. It was a really interesting experience because I have never been to an NBA game before and being able to see the best players like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant play in front of my eyes was rather surreal. I also got to meet some kind international students and listen to their perspectives on adapting to a new region. My mom came to visit me last Thursday, and I rented a car and picked her up from the airport to drive to Seattle. The roads in Oregon and Washington are immensely better than in South Carolina and people drive extremely slow. I haven't driven a car since I left South Carolina so it was actually kind of therapeutic to be able to drive through the mountain side and listen to music. Seattle was a beautiful city although it&

Week 17 & 18

I apologize for not posting weekly in May. I was sick for three weeks and was incredibly busy with school work. May was a tough month all around, but it's over now. I only have finals left and then this journey will be over. I can't believe how fast time has gone. It still feels like March to me because spring just got here in Oregon. It's in the 60s and 70s everyday (March weather in South Carolina). My friends from back home told me the heat is unbearable in Columbia. I'm trying to savor the cool weather here for as long as possible before I go back home. Even though I'm excited to go back home and share all my experiences with friends and family, I'm getting sad thinking about leaving everything here behind. I have met a lot of friendly interesting people that have helped me form a new perspective on my life. I feel a lot more confident being by myself and taking care of myself. I genuinely feel like I don't need anyone and it's an extremely liberatin
