I just kinda wish my options for universities here were better in terms of politics. Like, I’d rather no study at a school that brutally cracks down on student protestors but those schools seem to be my only options for graduate and PhD programs, which sucks.

I definitely do not want to study abroad without my dogs, the countries I am looking at so far seem fine with dogs entering so thats not my main problem, its more so my emotions surrounding flying in a plane for long hours while the dogs have to be stuck where everyone’s suitcases are. I also don’t like the idea of flying over large bodies of water while with the dogs. It’s mainly just me catastrophizing as other than that there’s no real restrictions being placed on studying in a different country. I think once I get over this mental hurdle going somewhere else will be a bit easier for me.

I appreciate the positive vibes being sent lol
