What It’s Like to Come Back From Study Abroad

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GWU chapter.

If you’ve just come back from study abroad, you probably already miss it.

You’re nostalgic for the good old days where most of your free time was spent traveling…

…and school was sort of a second priority.

You got to try all sorts of delicious food,

And meet all sorts of people with cute accents.

But days turned into weeks, which turned into months and before you knew it, it was time to come home.

The weather may be slightly colder than when you left,

And now you have to take your classes more seriously.

It’s been a rough transition.

And even though you’re happy to be back with your friends and family

You’re already planning your next trip abroad.
