i've been spending most of my time on AAD since late-2015, but I graduated with my Bachelors degree and have moved from Indiana to Sweden for graduate school for (at least) the next 2 years
A little annoyed that I spent over 6 years learning Italian and 5 years of German, but thankfully Swedish isn't too hard to learn. It's just frustrating having to start over from the beginning for the 3rd time
Having a great time though. Everyone is very nice, Stockholm is a very pretty city (not like miserable, industrial Lake County, Indiana) even if it is very expensive and it's starting to get dark and chilly. I was worried that I wouldn't fit in or be able to keep up (academically or socially) at an "elite" school, but the student body is quite diverse and open-minded.
I also joined the Socialdemokraterna on my second day here 
I canvassed student apartments twice and handed out literature outside metro stations three times for a local candidate. I also attended their election watch party on September 9th. They invite me to their monthly meetings and are incredibly welcoming. That's a very Atlas thing, I suppose
Been a year and a half, still here. Taking an extra semester to write my thesis, so I will finish in December.
I really enjoy living here. It's a very nice city, I love school (even if academically I am struggling more than is optimal, I am at least passing), I have a big social circle. I work as an accountant in an export-oriented music company, and I get to work in 4-5 languages every day. It's a very stimulating environment with very nice, friendly people. Genuinely enjoy my life for the first time and waking up in the morning, and accordingly have deleted Twitter and AAD, and try to spend more time in the real world, because it's more fun. Most days I genuinely look forward to getting up and going to school and work, and am actually a bit afraid of it being over at the end of this year.
Small complaint is that Swedes are not the easiest to make friends with. They're nice and they're polite, but it's very hard to be accepted as one of them and be genuinely included, despite putting in huge amounts of effort to learn the language, culture, and inviting them to social events. And many other international students (even other Europeans) feel the same way.
Ironically, the vast majority of my friends here are Germans. They seem to have all of the positive attributes of Swedes but aren't cliquish; in fact they are genuinely kind and welcoming. I spent Christmas with two friends in Stuttgart and everyone was just lovely. Since I work closely with our German subsidiary at work, I've decided that I'm going to focus on improving my German primarily and just let my Swedish come naturally from living here. After I graduate, I will start doing those Goethe-Institut summer programs in Germany during vacations, and it has increasingly crossed my mind that I may move to Germany one day.
When I came to Sweden, I thought, "Yeah Germany, cool country, would like to visit one day, should maybe practice my German more", but since then, my opinion of Germany and of Germans has skyrocketed. I don't know why, but I've only had good experiences with them, and can't think of any Germans I have actively disliked (only three people who annoyed me or rubbed me the wrong way). So, maybe that will be the next chapter of my life after Sweden.
But otherwise things are going great and I am trying to spend as much time living in the real world as I can. Unfortunately I am not optimistic about the political situation here or in the U.S. so I am trying to disengage as much as I can from politics while still being basically informed. Still active in the Solna SAP and keeping up with news at home. Will occasionally keep checking in here as I have been for the past 4 years, but otherwise I don't want to be a political junkie anymore.
