I don't think anybody is going to read this, but I'd like to share it anyway. A couple of years ago I went on an exchange to Edinburgh, Scotland, for a fall term during my undergraduate studies. It was my first time living abroad for a couple of months on end, I was very excited but also fairly nervous. When I was younger, I used to be afraid of leaving home for extended periods of time, so this was quite a big step. Contrary to my own expectations, however, everything went exceptionally well, I found dozens of new friends from around the globe that I am still in touch with to this day and I got to explore Scotland which - if you have never been - I can only highly recommend. On my very last day, I was even sad to leave which I never would have guessed before going there. To mark the occasion, I decided to hike Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh in the early hours of the morning so as to be at the summit at sunrise. I started walking around 3.30am when it was still fully dark and managed to make it to the top just in time to the see the sun come up. When I sat down at the top, I put on this song and listened to it while watching the city wake up. It was incredible and whenever I hear this song now, I always have to think back to that moment.
