So if you’ve studied abroad, you could probably relate to most of these. I know that I’m guilty of a couple of them. It’s always funny running into all the awkward situations that you find yourself in while studying abroad. Have a look at some of the memes below and let me know how many you’re guilty of!

When I show up to the club too sober

When I learned there was free alcohol on the 9 hour plane ride.
When my friend asks me if I am really going to eat gelato every single day.
When my friend asks me if the Albanian guy she made out with at the club last night was hot.
When I tasted a banana and nutella crepe for the first time.
Whenever I am drunk and meet someone with a British accent
When my friend asks me where we are going to eat thanksgiving dinner
When the creepy italian guy is eyeing me when I’m hungover at breakfast
He’s like
and I’m just like

When I walk home at night from the club.
When I realize German chocolate cake is not actually from Germany
The whole table when my friend successfully orders in the native language
When I take the overnight train
the creepy guy across from me is all
and I just sit there like
When I drink the 2 euro wine
The first week I’m like
By the end of the semester I’m like
When I think I got on the wrong bus and have a mini panic attack
When the guides ask for donations at the end of the free walking tour
I’m just like
When I realize the bread on the table is not free
When other Americans show up at our favorite hang out
Whenever someone talk to me for the first month

When the shampoo explodes in my suitcase
When my mom sends me a care package from home.
When I get to Barcelona and no one speaks Spanish
When I try to make the royal guards laugh at Buckingham Palace
I’m like
They are like
So I give up and I’m just like
When I’m told to rub another statue for good luck
When I try to blend in
But I actually look like
When I try to apply for my visa
When my friends come to visit and it is raining
When I buy a fresh load of bread at the market every day
My friend is all:
and I’m just like:
When I go out to eat.
I order so much food and I’m just like:
And then I convert the bill into US dollars and I’m like:
But then the wine kicks in and I’m just like:
When I decide to wear heels out at night on the cobblestone
Expectation
Reality
When I realize the coins in my pocket are worth more than just cents
When an Italian guy comes up to me at a nightclub
How all the salespeople look at me when I walk into Harrods
