Studying abroad makes us think that summer and winter breaks will be easy opportunities to reconnect with family, and that we’ll only find out later how busy life might get during those times- but absolutely not. We’re all hit with so much work so quickly, it’s almost jarring. Thank you for talking about this!

The way life just snatches you away from your family, but we can't even sense it because it dangles success in our faces 🥲

The part about not realizing it was the last time… that really stayed with me. We always think there’ll be another visit, another summer. This was beautifully written and painfully real 🫂
