Photo cred to Becca Rubin
Christmas in Copenhagen is beyond magical.
I can't help but feel that my time here is dwindling. I'm taking major comfort in the fact that my excitement to go home is building literally daily. I've been spending my last days in Copenhagen enjoying all the city has to offer and spending time with the people I'll hate to say goodbye to.
Last Friday, I finally took a real visit to the world famous Tivoli Gardens. Tivoli is one of the best winter wonderlands I've had the privilege to see. It's a theme park in the heart of Copenhagen, but considered more of a dream-land because of its incredible decorations.

Also, my house had a huge Christmas party last Saturday. It was a huge hit. We even had a "photo booth" where we hung wrapping paper on the wall to make a Christmasy photo shoot area.

I've been trying to spend my final days here doing everything I want to do one last time before I leave. We've been having lots of family dinners, going out together, and just spending time in the city.

On Saturday, I got to Skpe into Minor Problem's (my accappella group) winter concert. It was surprisingly emotional to watch their incredible performance. Bri, Aimee, Dylan, and Emily watched with me, which was awesome. It honestly made me so excited to go home to my beautiful acappella family.
Likewise, Sunday afternoon, I skyped into the performance of AVE (Auditioned Vocal Ensemble), a choir that I helped David start last semester. Their performance was gorgeous. Likewise, I'm so excited to go back to AVE.
To say I have mixed feelings about leaving Copenhagen and going home is a massive understatement. I miss my family and my friends, though. I'll be home soon, America. Until then, I'll be taking one more final on Friday and kissing this winter wonderland goodbye.
