MaltaMaltaMalta

Its been over a week since I was actually in Malta, but all the same this blog should be updated. In my defense we've all been preparing to say goodbye to one another which is the hardest thing a study abroad student can do. Malta however in mind will be my favorite (if one can even pick a favorite). Malta and Gozo hold the ultimate coast line. I will never forget seeing the bluest water I've ever seen in the Blue Lagoon. Theres a mineral in the water that turns it a true blue color, so much so that it somewhat looks like toilet bowl cleaner. (gross comparison but its all I got). Every street winds along the coast line, scattered with elaborately colored boats and small cafes rolling off the cliffs. It is the perfection of a Mediterranean  island. The food was cheap, the coastline endless, and the people friendlier than ever. Our hotel was insane, a five start hotel located right on the beach with its own private access. It also was located right in the middle of the clubbing area (of course we loved this).  Malta was just magical. Everywhere we went we just kept repeating how beautiful and relaxing it was. Out of all the places I've been Malta would be the place I would return with family. You just fall in love with it. Time is running out here in Cyprus and I must admit I have mixed feelings. Its so bitter to leave behind this family I've become a part of. These people on this journey have made me discover the true me and for that I'm eternally grateful. I can't explain the bonds you create when you have to as a group all adjust to a foreign exchange program. It is an experience you will never go through again. I can't say I haven't changed, that would be a lie. The whole point of me coming was to change, mature, and grow into the person I always knew I could. Studying abroad forces you to let go of all inhibitions.  These last couple weeks are becoming more and more painful as I slowly realize I have to let go of the relationships I've created.  I posted a music link today because honestly this song embodies how I feel. LAME believe me I know but sometimes music is the only way.
