no one on the corner got swagger like moi

I only have a little over an hour left of being a teenager! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my last days of being 19 than traveling around Eastern Europe. Sometimes I have to stop and think and just seriously be in awe of how lucky I am that I get to be doing this. I know so many people back home on Long Island who may never even leave the east coast, some because they just have no desire to and some because they simply can't. I'm so sad that I only have a month left here in London, but words can't express how amazed I am that I've been able to have this experience at all. Gahhh. Some highlights of my 10 days traveling around Europe (with 2 other really great girls)

-Dancing until 4am in a multitude of clubs in Prague, Vienna and Budapest.
-Singing along with a crazy crowd in an Austria club at 3am to 99 Luftballoons.
-Listening to really embarrassing rap music in the hostel kitchen while we pregamed before going out.
-Eating all sorts of delicious goulash and weinerschniztle.
-Climbing real castles, up the towers of churches, wandering around the streets of foreign cities and getting lost but not caring.
-Meeting all sorts of great people in our hostels and around the cities including 4 adorable girls from Barcelona who now possess crazy pictures of me dancing at a club.
-Planning to sleep on the 7 hour train ride to Budapest, but end up talking for 5 hours of it just because my friends and I never shut up.
-Prague was really just an entire lolfest, I'm not sure if I've ever laughed so hard.
-Being in Budapest and finding out Obama won the election!
-Having everyone we meet who finds out we're American ask us if we're excited about Obama. YES WE ARE.
-This cute little Austrian pub restaurant and Inga, the owner who sat and talked with us.
-Getting free shots at the hostel bar for taking a picture with the Obama shirt, haha.
-Celebrating Shyne Day (it's a long story) by going out to hiphop night at a club and dancing on the stage to all sorts of ridiculous music until 5am even though we had to get up and check out of our hostel 5 hours later.
-Getting introduced to random Russian boys we met in Prague by my friend asking them, "Haaave you met Michelle?"

There's so much more and I have a couple hundred pictures that I need to sort through. That week and a half was probably one of the best I will ever have. I wish I could just spend the rest of my life traveling to far-off places with great friends ♥

And oh hay, I have awesome news. Basically, I'm interning at Bravo next semester in the Programming department! Yes, I will be humming the 30 Rock themesong when I take the elevator to the Bravo offices whenever I go into work.

BEING TWENTY BETTER BE AWESOME.
