How to describe going home from an exchange....

I think about this quiet often. It was not an easy thing for me to do. It was probably the most challenging thing for me in my entire life. Reverse culture shock. Tonight one of the exchange students who is living in Missouri posted a video that put the feelings into pretty good words. It may ever make complete sense unless you experience it on your own, but this is definitely a small glimpse into the reality of reverse culture shock. This is not meant to discourage anyone from studying abroad because no matter how difficult reverse culture shock is the experience is worth every rollar coaster of emotion! This is just meant to let you know its not always easy going home.
