I have decided to come back home to visit my family during this time, but I got to enjoy the amazing Christmas lights before flying back to Italy.

We KTH Ambassadors have had a big dinner together in a cosy restaurant south of Stockholm, where we got to play &#8220;boule&#8221; together and have a French-style dinner. I did not manage to join the boule game, but those who did said it was rather fun and definitely not easy! Aside from that &#8211; the food was amazing &#x1f60f;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2023\/12\/IMG_3410-edited.jpg?resize=795%2C447&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Student ambassadors smiling in a group photo\" class=\"wp-image-10631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2023\/12\/IMG_3410-edited.jpg?w=795&amp;ssl=1 795w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2023\/12\/IMG_3410-edited.jpg?resize=748%2C421&amp;ssl=1 748w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kth.se\/blogs\/studentblog\/files\/2023\/12\/IMG_3410-edited.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Happy holidays from (almost all of) your student ambassadors!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Year Resolutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting from the next couple of days, be ready to read more posts about the application and KTH as a place to be.
