    I’ll admit that it took me awhile to readjust back to my normal environment. I found myself missing simple things like places I would frequently go to or people that I would always see. Since I just came home about a month and a half ago, I am pretty accustomed to life back home. Sure, I still miss people, but keeping myself busy with school, work, activities, and hanging out with friends, makes my transition easier. If anything, know that with time you will find yourself readjusting back to your normal environment.

    It may be difficult to readjust to life back home but spending time with family and friends really helps in the transition. To help me readjust, I spent time with friends and visited places that I could not find while studying abroad. Surrounding yourself with familiar things will also help you get back in the rhythm of life back home.
