Living in a big city has been a challenge for me even though I ve only been here since September I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature so I really miss it sometimes There s something special about waking up and seeing forests and rivers instead of just buildings everywhere I love hiking and snowboarding and I can t imagine life without outdoor adventures But right now I know my priority has to be studying Still there are things I enjoy about city life fashion cool caf s and all the stores I never had back home It s a different world but I m learning to love both
