So today it dawned on me that I have already been in Australia for nearly a month now!! In just a few days, on the 17th, I will have officially been in Aus for exactly one month which is just so so crazy to think about! It has flown by so far! It's insane how much my life has changed in just the past few weeks alone. Just a month ago I was living at home for the summer, working full time at an interior design firm, and enjoying everyday life with my friends, family, and of course my dogs back home in Ohio. Now, I am living with five roommates in Sydney, Australia, meeting new people and having new experiences nearly everyday, studying architecture at Sydney Uni, and even using words like "uni." Its just so weird to think about how different everything is, but so amazing at the same time. I have already grown so much since that day I left home and took a giant leap of faith and moved literally halfway across the world. Not only am I much more independent and confident in myself, but I have also learned a lot about how to handle difficult situations and to simply have faith that things will work out how they were supposed to in the end. I just wish time would slow down a little!

AuthorMy name is Ashlyn and I'm a fourth year architecture student at the University of Cincinnati. Although I was born and raised in Ohio, I was lucky enough to be accepted for an international exchange experience which is why I am now living in Sydney, Australia! I will be here studying for the semester, and hope to share as much of my experience with everyone back home as I can! Enjoy :) |
