Byebye Greece...Hello Real World

So for the past 6 months, starting from February until this past week, I was in the most b-e-a-utiful country ever (and my favorite), Greece!  I was living in Athens, attending the American College of Greece, Deree.  When they say time flies by, it honestly does, I still can't believe I'm back. It was amazing.  Have you guys traveled anywhere in Europe?

Here's just a few pictures to sum up my 6-month long vacation.. ;)

 
The best view to fly into, yet the saddest to fly out of.

My friend and I in Porto Heli.

A little taste of Greece in this little bottle.

Mojito Bay Beach, Varkiza, Athens, Greece

On the small island of Spetses; known as one of the islands for everyone to dock their yachts!

Sunset in Ermioni.

A love I found in Kolonaki, Athens, a popular shopping spot for the Athenians. 

With my sister out in Athens one night in Glyfada.

It never fails for each night out in Athens to be successful.

To me, Athens is one of the most diverse cities ever.  People have a love/hate relationship with Athens, I definitely LOVE it and don't think this will be my last time being in Greece for such a long time... Until next time Greece.

You've Been Accepted

GOOD MORNING TO ALL!  Today, I woke up to the BEST NEWS EVER. For the longest time, I've been wanting to study abroad, and of course, I would want to study abroad in Greece.  During this semester, I've been running back and forth, meeting with people to get all the forms that I need to be sent to Deree (The American College of Greece).  After having everything sent in last week (finally!), I received an e-mail this morning that I have been accepted into their school.  I couldn't be more happier! It's a dream come true.  ELLADA MOU, I'll be seeing you next semester (hopefully).

Now it's time to reminisce from this past (and other) summers to get me more excited:

Me and my friend in Paros this past summer.
In Paros again...
Me and my cousin in MYKONNOOOSSS (2009) My hair is so long! Ha!
In front of the Karyiatides [Known to be the 6 most gorgeous girls in Greece, and just happen to be from the village my mom is from, Karyes, Lakonia]

Home is where the heart is - AND THIS IS IT.
I LOVE KARYES/ARAHOVA: Best place in the world.
