The title of this post truly captures how I have felt the last month living abroad.  After a little over three months, I can truly say Milan is my home.  Whenever I travel on the weekends, I simply can not wait to be back home in Milan.  It is strange to think about, because three months ago this city was foreign to me.  The city felt very big and the language barrier made it seem even bigger.  As each week has gone by, I have become more accustomed to the culture of Milan, therefore giving the city more and more of a feeling of being home.  I remember not being able to pronounce anything in Italian, now I can speak full sentences with the locals.  A month ago I decided to break free from that routine I found myself in that I mentioned in my last post.  I decided to pain the town everyday as much as possible, because I do not want to leave this place with any feeling of regret.  I do not want to regret not going out to explore as much, regret not walking without a destination in order to discover more of the city, and specifically regret not feeling as if I did my best to immerse myself as much as I could.

As a student studying abroad, I believe it is important to immerse yourself in the culture of the city you live in.  Do not waste the limited time you have on social media, watching Netflix, or anything in particular that you know you could do back home.  I only have three weeks left in this beautiful city, and I do not plan on wasting a minute.
