At the Swedish Program and the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), I found that course lectures, activities, and field trips were unlike anything I could find at my American liberal arts college.
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a shift here in Stockholm. Familiarity is creeping in, and it feels so good after that initial adjustment period.
Though I consider myself outgoing, I was very scared that making friends would be the hardest part of going to a new place: I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Sweden fit me like a glove (or like the mittens I had to buy before our trip to the Arctic) because Swedes take the process of bringing people together pretty seriously.
