Since moving to the US as a part of study abroad, how I
originally thought I would feel emotionally prior to leaving is not how I’ve
found myself to be feeling. I originally thought that I would be missing home
and all of my friends and family of whom I had left behind for this set time
period, however as bad as it may sound, I haven’t missed home nor the life I had
there. If were being honest, I feel as though I am living two completely
different lives. Now, I’m not sure if it’s because of the cultural differences
or just the new group of people I have immersed myself with, but I have found
myself to have grown in confidence, become happier than I thought I originally
could be, as well as going out of my comfort zone.
I’m not saying that when you start your adventure when
studying abroad that you’re going to be the same as me; I am saying that if you
find yourself like me and aren’t missing home or the life you left behind, then
just know that it’s normal and you’re not the only one.
