Indeed, as it turned out, my life there was full of twists I could never anticipate. A few memorable glimpses were swimming in the Arctic Ocean post-sauna, singing traditional Finnish songs at the Aalto University SitSits, the Survival Finnish class, and lying on a frozen lake and watching the aurora borealis. At the end of the day, forcing myself out of my comfort zone turned out to be not bad at all. In fact, letting in a little bit of chaos into my life allowed me to explore what I normally would not, and therefore gave me a better understanding of what I want to pursue.

More than anything else, semester abroad at UBC-Okanagan taught me to enjoy the little things. Whether it was the $12 skiing, 'spring' break at an isolated cabin at -23ºC, or turning butter chicken into bean stew over the course of five days, I can say with certainty that it was the everyday occurrences which brought me the most joy. Skip the city, and you’ll sit pretty.

My time with Yale in London was truly an immersive learning experience and an enjoyable cultural exchange. Learning quite literally went beyond the classroom, with lessons held in varying locations from West End to fringe theatre, art galleries, and even tracing the steps of Virginia Woolf through Mrs. Dalloway’s walk. Yale in London embraces the philosophy of learning through experience and will remain as one of the most memorable experiences of my Yale-NUS College journey.
