As a typical university student, sometimes, I cannot help feeling my repetitive life is dull. Thanks to the exchange opportunity, my university life has brightened up once again. During my stay in Vienna, I took various exciting and interactive courses, engaged in several cultural activities organized by the local societies and enjoyed getting along with my friends from all over the world. As an introvert, I had a great time living independently from my parents, being self-sufficient in dealing with problems and travelling solo also unearthed my passion as an urban explorer, who loves to fancy walks in the cities’ darker side. In short, it is worth spending a semester escaping from a mediocre life. I felt rejuvenated and more prepared for my future.
