Study Abroad Resolution #4:
Be a treasure box of happy memories. This was a tip from Gretchen Rubin’s book, The Happiness Project, that I think works very well for study abroad.

How to assimilate into Greek culture.
I wrote something (slightly) humorous about how to pretend to be Greek. [[MORE]]     Day 1: You will inevitably visit the Acropolis. While riding the metro, do not consult a map.

If you don’t speak it, they...
