  • sharing some details of what orientation week looked liked at IES Vienna! I was a part of the music program last year, and overall, while I am glad I studied abroad and met some really cool people, my favorite memories honestly had nothing to do with the program and involved the people I sought out myself (and those I met through family there). But that's a story for a different time! This is about orientation week!
    I personally have a lot of thoughts about orientations in general...I don't like them. Never did. For highschool, college, internships, etc. It has less to do with being thrown in a new environment and more to do with the fact that I don't like the superficiality that occurs in orientations. And this orientation was no different. While it's perfectly normal and understandable for a person to be overtly extraverted in order to make friends, but I just don't thrive in those kinds of environments where there is a large crowd of people and no one knows each other and we're supposed to find our "group" that'd we'd hang out with for the rest of the year. I ended up finding my own friends OUTSIDE of the program so I was fine (and I ultimately wanted to spend my time with non-Americans anyway since a big part of study abroad is cultural exchange) but this is just to acknowledge that study abroad is not all fun and fantasy-like as you might expect it to be. It's not for everyone and I think it's important to keep that in mind when deciding if you should study abroad or not! Don't get me wrong, I LOVED my time abroad and would do it again, but I just wanted to acknowledge that even though you see videos like this that seemingly portray things in a positive light, know that it's not always like that. I only ended up making one friend who was actually IN the program. Everyone else I met had nothing to do with the program LOL.

    wahhhhh, didn’t know you had a TH-cam channel. Will be definitely looking forward to more vlogs and covers. A little nostalgic seeing the older videos of you playing, Tumon Bay and Ms. Yun’s grand piano. time flies huh.

      I’m doing decently well, stressing over college application and essays this year, but yeah. Hope you are doing well and maybe if you ever hold a concert I’ll come watch if possible. :) I’m currently visiting the island for a bit and it has barely changed after so long. Do more anime covers!!

      Unfortunately, I went to a study abroad program via a US program, and did not go to any school in Vienna associated with the public system (like Uni Wien, TU, etc.). If you want more info on applying to public unis im Vienna, i highly suggest going to their website! Dont quote me, but MOST bachelors programs at public unis in Austria are in German and you would need some sort of certification to prove you are advanced enough. However, there are private universities that have programs entirely in english you could also look into!
