I have been having way too much fun this semester and it is now ready to come to an end 😢. I can't believe how fast it's gone by, but I'm excited to go home and see Alex, my friends, and my family ☺️. Here comes my final update from Copenhagen! Last week was my 20th birthday!! and I got to celebrate it in the best ways possible. On Friday I met up with some of my friends from my core course and we went on a picnic to the beach! They got me a cutie little card and a carrot cake muffin! It was so delicious 🤤. Then later that night we had a kollegium party and we stayed up until 3:00 in the morning on friday night/ saturday morning? It was so fun to giggle and chit chat and sit with all of my friends from both fifth and sixth floor for the start of such a great bday 🥹. When I woke up around 10:30 on saturday I went to sit in the kitchen and I saw none other than a camel and a donkey walking down the street. Don't ask me what was going on because genuinely I have no idea. It was pretty cool to see though 😆. Once everyone else got up and ready they started to make me a delicious scrumptious breakfast 🤤. Francesca and Raiden made some chocolate chip pancakes (and of course it turned into a competition of who made them better (it was francesca 🫣)). Angela made some scrambled eggs! and Katherine made these yummy breakfast sausages and some bacon 🤤. It was so yummy and it was so sweet of them and made me feel so loved 🥹. Next stop we made Emme came along and we went to make some bracelets! Francesca and I both made 2 and everyone else made one and it was frustrating at times but the final product is so cute ☺️. We finished the day at pico pizza and we got some bust down pizzas, but then francesca started to feel unwell (somehow they paired two people with tummy problems even though neither of us said we had tummy problems in any of our paperwork 😆). After some bed rotting time we made our way to the kitchen to get ready to go out for the night! As I got ready my friends put candles in an ice cream cake to sing happy birthday to me again 🥰. We ended up convincing Alberte to join us for our night out and had an absolutely amazing time! It was so so soooo much fun and almost exactly how I wanted to spend my birthday (the only thing that was missing was alex, kendra, samara, and katie 😢). The rest of the weeks was full of stress of finals and many many goodbyes 😢. I got a couple of things done that I was hoping to do before leaving copenhagen and I'm so glad I did them. I went to Tivoli (an amusement park) with Ishika, Katherine, Angela, Raiden, and Francesca and it was so awesome! I was worried I wasn't going to like it because I usually don't have a great time at amusement parks, but I actually loved it! I even went on a roller coaster that did loop-de-loops IT WAS SO MUCH FUNNNNN!!!!! (alex should be glad to hear that because he was worried he would never have anybody to go to an amusement park with 😭). We really did have a good time there and it was honestly just such a pretty park to be in and even though it was busy it wasn't busy like the amusement parks in america which I felt added to the whole experience ☺️. One last thing about Tivoli as we were getting ready to leave a peacock came walking down the road and it reminded me of the time there was a peacock in front of the exit at the sioux falls zoo and we couldn't leave and I remember sabrina was scared of it 😂. Anyways, the next day I went to my first hot dog stand of copenhagen and as my grandma knows I've been meaning to go since like february, but I always got so nervous. So I finally worked up the guts and went and got one and although it was good it was nothing compared to the one in iceland 🤤🤤. After the hot dog Emme and I made our way to the living room cafe which was so full circle becuase that's the place that her and I first bonded 🥹. The rest of the day was pretty boring, but katherine and I went to go see francesca, raiden, angela, and ishika present class projects and the student festival and then we headed home for the day. Everything finished up yesterday though. Angela and I went on an 8 mile round trip bike ride to go see some ALPCAS!!! They were so cute and then we walked around 'the park for a while until we were ready to go back home for the day. It was the last big thing I did in copenhagen and I'm so glad I went back to see them. When cole and I went the first time we only saw the sheep 😢 so it was fun to go back and actually see the alpcas! We went out for kebabs last night and it felt so sad knowing I likely won't be back for many years. Today was full of last minute souvenirs and cleaning with francesca. It felt so weird to pack my whole life back up and get it ready for my plane ride home tomorrow 😢. I am so incredibly happy that I did this and chose to come here but there is so much sadness in my heart knowing that I will never have this experience in the same way ever again. I got so lucky being able to share a room with francesca and getting to live with the people I did. I remember being so nervous about making friends before I left and now I feel so sad having to leave the ones I did make. I truly fell in love with Copenhagen and I am so glad that I was able to feel at home in Amager for four months. I'm really going to miss all the laughs shared in the kitchen and all the collab meals we did and all the adventures that I went on. I will never forget this time of my life and I'm so happy I will get to look back at it with and feel happy and with no regrets from this semester ☺️.
