Saying Farewell Sooner or later you will have to leave, pack your stuff, say goodbye to your new friends you just made and go back home. It will hurt and you prob- ably don’t want to leave but in most cases there is no other option. Before leaving make sure every- thing is set. Did you cancel your accommodation? Did you resign from your job? Did you pay your landlord or roommates? Are you going to keep your bank account? Is it possible to reclaim the social security or taxes you paid? Are you leaving before your visa expires? Is there any stuff you need to send home or you want or have to sell? Did you complete your assignments? Will you get confirmation of what you achieved at your part- ner university? Will the credits you gained count towards your home degree? Are you planning to take a break, look for a job or is the deadline for the next Masters application just a few days ahead? There are a lot of things that need to be done and planned for accordingly. However, don’t freak out and don’t forget to party and say goodbye proper- ly. Share the pictures and videos with your friends, plan a nice road trip and buy some souvenirs for your family. In any case, you will take home much more than a bag full of clothes. You will be full of memories from a time that nobody can take away from you. Exchange contact details, addresses and phone numbers but don’t count too much on the ex- citedplansmadebyeverybodytomeetagainandsee each other. In some cases this might really happen. But probably most of you will go separate ways. ➤ 139 Events & Activities Index
