- This week I am showing a very honest look at my first week abroad. I have been planning this trip for almost two years so the fact that it is here now is so strange! The first week had many ups and downs but all in all it was a new life experience which is exactly what I have been looking for!
Edinburgh is such a beautiful city and hopefully next week I can show you guys what school looks like!

girl when I moved to Korea last year after 28 hours of travel I definitely had a panic attack and was like ??? do I regret this
DIGESTIVES ARE THE BEST. I miss that so much from the UK!
Haha yes 😂 that travel day really does something to you and your mental state 😆
Sorry
this is gonna be me next year If I get accepted into the program I applied for
have you finished your study in Korea. are you still there or come back to your country
i relate to this so hard, im studying abroad in germany and the first two days i was ready to call it quits and believed it to be the worst mistake ever
are you studying in english or german?
same, 4th day in the US as a one semester exchange student and had so many regrets and keep thinking about home…
I loved this! I was hoping everything would turn out well for you - and by the end of the week it just about had. I laughed at the "it went well" then the grimace! You have a great personality/style for making videos like this.
Ive baan in college for like 3 months and i just came back to hostel after visiting home for a week and now i am feeling more homesick than ive been in those first 3 months and i dont even know how this is possible. Im so homesick and i just wanna go home but i cant im literally going insane rn.
So excited for ALL your scotland vlogs 😍😍😍
I'm going to Edinburgh this October, and I'm really stressed out. I'm finishing my 2 years studying in Japan, which was my first time living alone too. I made so many friends, but I'm scared of starting over all over again. I'm worried about so many things, but watching your videos makes me feel like I'm not alone
Me too i’m going to Edinburgh this October to study english. And i fell the same as you. I guess we probably all fell the same 😊
How are you guys?
@@lacuna8460 I'm doing well I've made a bunch of friends - it actually seems fairly easy to make friends as there are many social events
@@nesrinebenouis3983 like, I just moved to Edinburgh as an exchange student, are you still here?
I'm really glad it went well, super proud of you.
Thank you 🥲😆❤️
Oh man. So much of this brings memories back. My first trip to Edinburgh, I left on a Friday, after a full day of work. I landed in London after an overnight flight and took a train up. Got in at about 6PM there (1PM my time) after waking up at 6AM the day before for work, and having only eaten a sandwich at Kings Cross.
Moving to Edinburgh 8 months later, I took the scenic route and stopped in Reykjavik and London. Thankfully a friend came with me and helped me with all my luggage (2 years there). I'm hoping to go back next year for 2 years again!
Dear Katie, well first of all Welcome to Scotland! I know this video was posted 8 months ago, but I loved listening to your first impressions of study abroad and also my country ❤️❤️ I sincerely wish you’re still having a good time.
I would love to hear an updated version of your experience, firstly because I’m about to go study abroad myself and I’m so unsure of what to expect! It’s such a huge decision it’s almost not clicked yet.
And secondly, because I’m Scottish myself and I live about an hour away from Edinburgh. Wishing you all the best 🥰
Congrats on studying abroad! Thanks for sharing your experience at the airport.
Thanks for watching!! :)
Good luck, Katie. I look forward to see everything about your stay in Scotland :)
Thanks Sara!! :)
congrats on moving abroad successfully i'm so excited for your scotland vlogs!
ps- when you said "was this the biggest mistake of my life" i felt that
Thank you!! ☺️ yeah I really feel that way anytime I make an adult decision about my life 😂 like I just shouldn’t be in charge of myself
honestly been really surprised at my abilities to talk to people again - I relate with that phrase
im so glad you made this bc im going abroad to paris and this video is so realistic ter light hearted. i feel like a lot of the other ones are either super idealized or supr sad hahah
Ok ur first night in scotland angst ish I just _felt_ that :') me the first 1-2 months when i moved away from home but glad that you got straight into finding people etc!
Hahah yes 😆 I think we all have that moment the first time away from home
Katie I want to go to the cafe with you. The coffee and cake looked so good. But just being there with you would be the best.❤️
The little depressed moments in between ur monologue is hilarious
Never give up 🔥
😆🙏
Ur facial expressions r so on point and funny 💀
7:02 love this😂
This makes me nervous and excited at the same time! In abt 4 months I'm leaving for Scotland (Glasgow) from the US to study for a semester there! I'm mostly excited and not as worried since my parents are gonna fly with me there (ik still a wimp 😂) but idc!!
I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m in the US for a semester as an exchange student as well… and am feeling so homesick now😢
