Things I am learning

No country is without its problems.

I should care more about my opportunities in life, instead of constantly doing the bare minimum, instead of trying to escape. In the past I have treated my education like a burden, not something to be treasured. I need to be passionate about what I do.

Like it or not, I will always be an American. But that's not necessarily something to be ashamed of; it's my identity.

Learning a foreign language is one of the hardest things I've ever done. So I should have more sympathy for non-English speakers in America.

Trip planning is hard, but necessary and totally worth it.

I can get what I want if I really try.

I can figure things out on my own, even in European cities where the streets are every size and direction imaginable.
