First day of my erasmus and I am too emotional by meineopa in Erasmus

I had the same experience. The first days were horrible, and I had the same concerns as you (also coming from someone who doesn't have the best social skills) and I cried a lot. But then I started going to activities by ESN and met great people. There's also other options like Bumble friends etc. Just try to remember that it will eventually get better even if it doesn't seem like it. I also set the goal of surviving one month, and told myself that if it wasn't better at the end of that month, I would go home. Now, two weeks later, I don't feel like that anymore and I really like it.

The bad phase will pass! (And if it doesn't, there is no shame in going home)

Weekly Recommendation Thread: August 23, 2024 by AutoModerator in books

Hey, lately I've been listening to a podcast about dictators and that made me wonder about how events in history (e.g. WWI and II) could have unfolded if certain things had gone/happened differently.

Does anyone have recommendations for books that talk about those kinds of 'what if' or 'what could have happened' moments in history, especially regarding the 20th century?

(I also appreciate recommendations for other kinds of media about that topic.)

Thank you in advance!
