If you had told me what this semester abroad would be like before I left, I would have come much earlier! And I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m about to leave.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This school, and this state, and this country have changed me for the better. I met so many people, both on campus and off, that welcomed me and made Adelaide feel like home. In this last segment of my study abroad, I\u2019ve focused mainly on enjoying the city and school and friends I\u2019ve made. We\u2019ve gone thrift shopping and gotten drinks on the weekends and done absolutely normal things, but that\u2019s what I love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adelaide isn\u2019t just a tourist destination to me anymore, it feels lived-in and familiar. One of my favourite places in Adelaide is Plant 4, a warehouse full of food carts and vintage shops that just opened up in Bowden. I highly recommend it as a cool place to eat and shop. There are so many things that I love about Adelaide, and they keep on unfolding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re reading this to decide whether or not you want to go abroad, I just want to say: do it. I am definitely so thankful I did. And since I\u2019m a film student, I\u2019ve also had the chance to film loads of my travel, which I post on my Instagram account @addisonfilms.
