Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
It’s been nearly a month since I returned to the States after spending four months in Greece. All flights went smoothly and luckily no luggage was lost. Surprisingly, I didn’t get jet lag either. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’ve heard that many students who study abroad have a few problems adjusting to American life\/culture after being away for a few months. I think it can be difficult for people mostly because of the time given to that person to readjust. Let me explain: If I had studied in the fall semester that would have only given me a month to completely return to American culture and return to OWU to start classes once again. But, I studied in the spring semester so I have three months to readjust and wait to return to school. I think time is the greatest factor for readjusting.<\/p>\n
Personally, I didn’t really have problems re-assimilating to American life. At first, I wanted to say things in Greek and I was thinking in Metric but other than that, I didn’t have any problems. (The hardest part for me is knowing that I have so much time until I have return to school. I can’t wait to go back to OWU!)<\/p>\n
If you’ve studied abroad or if you’ve spent an extended time in a foreign country and you have any advice for students returning from studying abroad, feel free to share them below please!<\/p>\n
So, this is Erika (and Maerwynn) signing off. Have a wonderful and fantastic summer, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
