39 Ways Studying In New Zealand Will Change You Forever

1. Not waking up to the greatest scenery on planet Earth anymore will be a bit of a downer…

2. Stepping into a park and not seeing trees like this will be…hmm, a bit depressing

3. Overall, scenery will now always be lacking magic

4. Because in New Zealand, there was a wow, or usually a WOW, around every corner

5. WOW…

6. WOW…

7. WOW!

8. Road trips will lack a certain something…

9. The grass, wherever you go, will NEVER be greener

10. And the place names? Well, they’ll seem a little simple and dull in comparison

11. The ride to class won’t be as life-affirming

12. Or quite so entertaining…

13. And even public transport will seem lacking

14. After class, you can forget about heading here

15. Forget about making new furry flippered friends

16. And forget about jumping in a kayak for a paddle

17. Zooming down a luge track with the most stunning views will no longer be an option, sadly

18. And trails like these? Nope…

19. In fact, your outdoor activities will seem so tame

20. And walks in the park will lack a certain thrill

21. They’ll be less… ‘out of this world’

22. And you’ll miss all the strange, wonderful, but most importantly NON-DANGEROUS creatures

23. In fact, the most deadly animal was probably this little guy

24. And he’s really only a danger to the paintwork on your car

25. Your food will seem less fresh

26. And the burgers? They’ll never quite cut it again…

27. You’ll forever miss the legendary chocolate fish

28. Washed down with a nice glass of L&P

29. At one of the many waterfront hangouts

30. A trendy spot on Wellington’s Cuba Street

31. Or a café in laid-back Christchurch

32. (Where there’s some of the best architecture around)

33. From now on your sports teams will seem a bit boring – especially when greeting the opposition

34. You’ll never again get to enjoy facial expressions like these at cultural events

35. In fact, you’ll miss having incredible indigenous culture bursting out all around you

36. And people will seem less friendly and down-to-earth

37. You won’t even care that New Zealanders don’t really live here like in The Lord of the Rings

38. You’ll just want to go back to those two magical islands

39. But that’s the end of our adventures…for now
