My name is Abe Judge, I'm an international student. I decided to move to the US because
I've heard a lot about the America, I've heard a lot about the lifestyle, especially California.
And I liked it. I'm living in a house in Reseda, CA. It took us a lot to find people that would
agree to rent students a whole house with a pool in the backyard, because they would
know we would party a lot. So, when actually the owner knew we were from Saudi, he was
like, ok you guys are religious, i know that you guys are never going to drink or party
or anything. So, we were like, Okay, let's take this house! Well, I met these guys last
year through my ex-girlfriend, she was friends with them and then I think they just thought
I was cooler than her, so they just dumped her and became my roomates. My lifestyle now
is like, weekdays I like to go to the gym, school, library, just go back home and relax,
sleep it off. But, mostly on the weekends, I try to see all my friends, as much friends
as possible. I always try to hold gatherings at my place, I wanted to see all my friends
at one time and also with alcohol, like stuff that I didn't experience back in Saudi Arabia.
I like the experience, i like how people go crazy here. I like how people do different
things, I like to meet new people because sometimes partying is easier to just go and
talk to people and be friends and ask them to add you on facebook later or whatever,
just ask to hang out again because you know they actually came to this place to make friends.
That's what I do, I bring people from school and the international students from the International
Student's Association and like all the American friends that I met here and I invite them
all to my house and just, mix it all up, see what happens.
