Things You Don’t Know about Erasmus

In 2019, I’ve moved another continent, another country and another city for doing Erasmus. Yes, it was amazing even though in March, a.k.a bloody Corona starting times. However, there were several things I didn’t know about it yet. Firstly, I’ve stayed in a dorm and we had to share bathroom and kitchen with 7 people(me including). It was not shiny times not gonna lie. So the first thing I’ve realized is: if there is a party in your kitchen you screwed… Mainly the parties starts around 7 pm. It’s the time I eat fellas. So if there is a party in the kitchen; I’m basically starving to death and waiting for someone to find my death body. I’m not a party person so I usually join there, see my friends talk a little bit then it’s time to leave for me. That’s why it was a big struggle at first. Then I made a plan for this and stock food in my room for emergencies. Although I’ve end up eating them in the day I put them, it was a good move.

Second thing you should know is, if there was a party in your kitchen, you may say goodbye to your deposit. Cause party people are crazy and yes some of them are animals. I remember the next day I went to kitchen and found the microwave on the floor giving it’s last breath… It was a sad moment for both of us. Don’t even ask… And the kitchen was smelly, lots of bear bottles, lots of toiler papers(??????) and many other things that you can imagine. For example, I don’t know how and what happened but a few things of mine were missing so you got to be careful about it
