The joys of being an international student

Hey Charlie! It's been a while since I've been here, so it's about time I made a post, right? Anyways, I was inspired by the articles about the premieres' Canadian experiences, and thought I'd make a list of why it's great to be an international student in the University of Glasgow.

1. You always have a conversation opener with people
2. You somehow barely know any Scottish people
3. You get to complain about English with your international friends or all be looking for a specific word and suddenly learn it in five languages, none of which is English
4. Whether you're eating at your dutch friend's place or your spanish friend's place tonight dictates every other meal of that day
5. "What do you want to do now?" "Well I didn't have lunch, so I could do with dinner" "I had lunch at 1 today..." "okay, we can wait a bit then" "no, 1 is early!" (this conversation took place before 6pm)
6. Brunches with food and drink from about 10 countries
7. You celebrate every holiday of every country

That's all I can think of for now! Doesn't that make you want to join me (I swear I'm not paid by the uni to promote it)?

See you,
Judith (does anyone here know who I am?)
