In Time

"In time, things will get better!" -TR

I wrote this sentence as part of my response to someone's really good blog article about dealing with reverse culture shock (RCS). After coming back, I would get in the funk of RCS around the 3rd of each month, as I arrived in the USA on July 3rd. I've been back for a bit over four months, and I'm happy to say that this month was the first time that I wasn't in the funk. :) Yes, I still do miss Europe, and every now and then I really miss it. But I think I'm nearly fully adjusted to life back in the US and am back in the swing of things at my university. I still enjoy talking about my study abroad experience with others and enjoy thinking about the next travel adventures I want to take.

If you're going through RCS, give yourself time and know that things will get better!


Peace. Love. Happiness.
