Shipping Off

I called this blog Shipping Off because I started it right before I headed off to my freshman year of college. The name stayed the same, of course, as I settled in and turned the scary unknown into a place that felt like home.

The name applies again. Today, I'm shipping off to Amsterdam.

It doesn't seem real. But my bags are packed and my mom has already talked me down from my "OH MY GOD I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING I'M NOT READY I'M NOT PREPARED WHAT IF WHAT IF OH MY GOD OH MY GOD" moment. I have Euros and had my first "wow, I magically have far less money" moment.

I have one goal: take every opportunity.

Watch this page to see me follow through.
