The days following my return, I slept A LOT. I spent about 3 hours of that weekend awake, meaning that I slept for 45 hours and missed a lot of bonding time with my family. I don’t even remember waking up to eat.
Re-adjusting to city life was a bit difficult. Though I wasn’t gone long, I spent all of my time in Thailand in a tight-knit group, so returning to the Big Apple made me feel like a lost puppy. The spring semester started a few days after I returned and I had to get back to the hustle and bustle. But, alas, this was 2020 and the hustle and bustle only lasted for a little over a month.
Going to Thailand not only taught me about different animals and culture, but it also taught me a lot about myself. I really had to grow as a person and speak up for myself often in order to get any of my needs met, since I ultimately went across the globe with a bunch of strangers and a friend that I knew for 6 months.
The trip feels like a blur but also feels like I just got back yesterday. It was definitely a life changing experience for me. I would like to share more stories about it, so I plan on writing more about the things that I didn’t go in depth about.
Thank you all for tuning in and I appreciate anyone that continues to tune in in the future! 🙂
