What happens when the novelty wears off? 🌍
At first, everything can feel exciting.
A new city. New people. New plans. New places to discover.
But after a few weeks, the extraordinary starts becoming your everyday life.
And that’s when tiredness, homesickness, uncertainty or the feeling that something has changed can sometimes show up.
That doesn’t automatically mean your experience is going badly.
Sometimes it means you’re no longer just discovering a new place. You’re starting to actually live there.
Adjustment is also about finding stability once the initial excitement fades.
Give yourself time. Not every stage of a semester abroad has to feel the same. 💚
