    February 1, 2024 /

    by Alicja Banasiak, University of California Santa Cruz Coming to California for a whole year knowing no one and never even setting foot in the US before was a scary experience and although the journey wasn’t a straight forward one, I ended up having a cliché experience of making great friends and memories that I will cherish my whole life.
