Male Female

Changes are part of our lives. They will happen no matter what, even if we do not want them to. Recently, I had to move to a different city, to St. Petersburg, with my boyfriend. This was for our university studies. It happened at the end of the summer, and we had to adapt to a lot of things. First of all, the city we used to live in was not even a city; it was a town because it was so small, and sometimes it reminded me of a village since whenever you went outside, you could meet someone you knew. But now we live in St. Petersburg, and it is much wider, broader, and faster than our town. We also had to adapt to the metro since our town didn't have one, and we had to fit into the fast pace of the city, even though many people might consider St. Petersburg to be fairly slow. We didn't. We thought it was so fast. We were tired and exhausted every single day.

Changes are part of our lives. They will happen no matter what, even if we do not want them to. Recently I had to move to a different city, to St. Petersburg with my boyfriend. This was for our university studies. It happened somewhere at the end of the summer and we had to adapt to a lot of things. First of all, the city we used to live in was not even a city, it was a town because it was so small and sometimes it reminded me of a village since whenever you went outside, you could meet someone who you knew. But now we live in St. Petersburg and it is far wider, broader and faster than our town. We also had to adapt to the metro since our town didn’t have one and we had to fit into the fast pace of the city even though a lot of people might consider seeing Petersburg to be fairly slow. We didn’t. We thought it was so fast. We were tired and exhausted every single day.
