Helen Guo – University of Melbourne (Full Academic Year)

 

Talk to me about: Anything you want! From the process of why I wanted to study abroad up until my transition back to USC, I am open and will speak candidly about my experiences in hopes that it’ll help you in any way, shape, or form. As someone who never thought I would study abroad and applied on a whim, it’s safe to say that I loved my experience and would do it all over again. Feel free to reach out to me, if you want someone to talk to, bounce ideas off of, get some more insight about the program, or just to chat about my experience.

Advice: The advice, that I personally follow, is good for going abroad as well as in your personal life. It’s to throw yourself into the unknown. It will be scary, but you will grow and learn so much in that uncomfortable and unfamiliar space. I am not saying to always do that but always try something at least once. And definitely check in with yourself and how you feel and when you feel the time is right go explore and do things outside of your comfort zone. It’s okay to make mistakes and stumble, it’s all a part of the growing process. You will learn so much in life through your experiences of stumbling and falling and hopefully thriving.
