These are a few lessons from me to you!
There are a few caveats though:
1) I'm American and inherently biased given my background and POV since coming to Madrid so your experience may differ
2) I moved here when I was 20, and am experiencing the world through the lens of a now 22 year old.
other than that... I think we're good to go. Here's a quick breakdown:
00:00 — Intro
00:30 : #1 the days revolve around meals
01:33 — #2 social/butterfly are your new pronouns
04:39 — #3 casual dating is the new social standard
08:00 — #4 legal things take longer than eternity
09:22 — #5 you’ll lose your sleep to nightlife
10:50 — #6 you’ll lose your personal bubble
12:51 — #7 if you’re too ‘nice’ you’re too rude
15:52 — #8 apartment contracts feel more sketchy than back alley deals
18:41 — #9 there is no proper dorm/food b¡plan for foreign students
Enjoy!
