3 Feelings You Get from Returning to Campus After Abroad

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

There’s no better feeling than being back at Wake Forest! Being thrown back in to the small bubble of Wake can make you feel many different types of ways. Here are three feelings I’ve experienced in the first couple of weeks that we’ve been back.

1. Excitement

Being reunited with your best friends is probably one of the best feelings ever. Although I did make great friends while I was abroad, it’s nice to be able to hang out with your best friends again. No more Facetime or Skype, now we can just hang out with each other on campus!

2. Surprise

What surprised me the most was the fact that there were so many new faces. When I walked into the Pit for the first time this semester, it was flooded by many faces that I had never seen. Along with the feeling of surprise was the fact that a couple of things were different: the different stations at the Pit being a good example.

3. Nostalgia 

You can’t help but miss being abroad. There are moments where I catch myself thinking about what I would be doing if I were still in Spain, but at the same time I am super happy to be back!
