Dear Queenie,
I’ve been at college in the United States this year but now I have to go home because of this crisis until after the summer holidays. I love the way things are in the US and I’m not looking forward to being at home on a small island. There are so many things to do here that I’ll miss and all my friends also have gone abroad to study.
Queenie, how can I get used to being at home again?—Not homesick
Dear Not homesick,
Keep reminding yourself how lucky you are to have had the chance to live abroad for a while, and that your home island is a place people in the USA pay thousands of dollars just to visit for a few days.
Once this crisis is over you will be busy studying again (maybe even during the crisis you can keep busy by studying online if you can arrange it with your US school) and there will be a lot else to do at home once things open up again. It will help if you can take a positive attitude toward all that is happening to you (crisis aside).
