The actual significance of my trip to Mongolia hit me really hard and fast. The belief in everyone’s head was that my flight would leaving on June 25th at 1 pm but thankfully my dad scrutinized the itinerary and realized that it was 12 hours earlier at 1 in the morning.  This gave us a limited time to get to the airport. That moment made me so stressed and scared because of the lack of packing I had done and also the thought of not having time to say goodbye to all my friends. I had to rush and text my goodbyes which made me feel homesick even though I was still in my house. While getting texts saying “have a  safe flight” and “miss you already”, that was the first time I actually felt alone. I realized the amount of independence I was getting on this trip and I was scared to accept it. Who let me, O.L.F., travel alone to a different country! My parents have always told me that I’m capable of anything but sometimes I don’t always believe that because I’m insecure and afraid of change. I HAD TO CHANGE AND BE AN ADULT. Now that’s some scary shit.  6,289 miles away from my home, family, friends, dog and my life for 46 days. Get ready for the biggest roller coaster of a lifetime.
