Task two - short story

The idea of living abroad had seemed so exciting. I mean, it must be since I had thought of doing that for almost all my life.
The plan seemed simple: I would take a degree at one of Portugal's best language universities, in English, then I would take a Master's degree in Tourism, also in my country, but now close to the beach, in Estoril. Finally, I would move to Switzerland to specialise in hotel management.
People always told me I was lucky for I've always known what I wanted to do with my life, and I knew they were right as I remember seeing friends of mine dropping out of university, saying that that wasn't what they really wanted.
My first year in university was difficult but the two other ones weren'ts really that bad as they were demanding, of course, but I wasn't expecting other thing.
After taking a degree I went to Estoril. One of my best friends in high school was my classmate I was thrilled at being friends with her again.
I couldn't remember why we stopped talking. I suppose I could say that when people go to different colleges, with different schedules it seems like we don't have time to talk with anyone anymore.
The second year in Estoril was one of the best years, if not the best one really, of my life as I was finally dating with that friend of mine I always had a crush on and I was also working as a receptionist in a hotel in Lisbon.
Having finished the Master's degree, it was time to go to Switzerland but the idea of moving to another country for two years where I didn't knew anyone was giving me feel butterflies in my stomach. I mean, I had finally my liufe where I wanted it and I was moving? Still, at the end of the summer, I broke up with my boyfriend and caught a plane to Switzerland.
Looking back at the day I arrived here, I swear I can feel all the emotions I felt that day: the fear and the anxiety among many others.
I had spent six months in Switzerland before I realised I would give everything to get back to the life I had before. Sure the idea of living abroad had seemed so exciting but now, catching the plane home, I feel some regret for I almost gave up my life where I belong.
