Everyone will agree with me when I say that moving to a new country, even for just six months, takes a lot of courage. It\u2019s not just about adapting to a different culture and language; it\u2019s about leaving behind your familiar support system.<\/p>\n

Joining an ICC event for the first time can feel just as daunting. You don\u2019t know what to expect or who you\u2019ll meet, but every person has a unique story and experiences to share. I remind myself of this before attending any new event: it takes bravery to step out of your comfort zone, but it also brings countless reasons to be proud of yourself.<\/p>\n

ICC is an amazing space for students to connect, explore each other\u2019s languages and cultures, and perhaps find lasting friendships\u2014or at least some fun acquaintances to share a meal with!<\/p>\n

What truly matters is the lovely memories we create during our time here. Engaging with others through ICC not only helps us grow as students but also as individuals. I know it can be intimidating to take that first step into an unfamiliar room, not knowing who you\u2019ll meet. But trust me, if you don\u2019t try, you\u2019ll never know what incredible connections await you!<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t be afraid and come join the ICC events!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll definitely find someone you can click with! ?<\/p>\n
