P.S. Mature makes me sound old.

I know. I'm not thrilled about being called mature but, eh... I'm 27

Me too. But since I'm applying this year, I'll be 28 by the time I get over there.

Haha i'm 23 and I feel old too. I believe most of the students would be like 18. We're all in the same boat!

I'm literally turning 28 on the plane over. What a great way to spend my birthday, lol.

Oh yeah. Nothing is more thrilling than being stuck on a plane for hours. Haha.

Oh my, this is getting quite provocative.

My age?

This is when I normally say "how old do I look?", however that's not very fair for you in this situation.

Let's just say I've graduated to two boxes of candles at birthday time.

Oh... and Greensboro.

Haha. I like your response. I'm in Wilmington. What will you be studying?

I notice you're a francophone? I graduated with a minor in French this last spring from UNCG, and spent a semester abroad in Brussels, but it's all a work in process. How's your French?

I'm studying Public Relations and Global Communications at CF.

My French is an ongoing process! I'm much better at reading it. I'm hoping once I'm abroad, I can visit France and get some hands on experience. How was Brussels? It looks gorgeous.

It's great, like home. I actually was admitted into Kent in Brussels for a masters too, but feel like CF is a new adventure... and that's what I need in my life now, something new. It's hard though because I'm trading friends and familiarity for the unknown.

You can definitely do France from Cardiff. I traveled all the time on Ryan air while living in Brussels, and its super easy and cheap. I'm definitely hoping to hit Ireland and Scotland while at Cardiff.... but I'll always love France and Belgium. Make sure you go, you'll love it.

I'm sure I would! I've always wanted to visit France. The idea of picking up and moving to an unknown area is scary, but it's comforting knowing there are others experiencing the same thing.
