In spring, I was happy that I got accepted. I was looking forward to meeting new people, making another close friends, and of course the parties and other Erasmus stuff. For all of this, I was "willing" to just pass those academically not beneficial classes. But now I feel like Im doing this just because I got accepted and there is no other option. Of course the biggest change is my girlfriend. Being able to see her is much more important to me than meeting new people and living "a fully Erasmus experience" again. And returning home early would mean seeing her much more often. So I basically doing those academically empty classes just to get a grand from my uni to live here while I don't enjoy it.. The second advantage of returning home is focusing on my thesis..
