回国后

Coming back from a foreign country can lead to what is commonly referred to as “return culture shock”. 可能需要一些调整才能回到你的日常生活。以下是关于如何重新适应回家的信息。

说再见

要想高调地结束你的旅行，恰当地告别是必不可少的。 If you want to stay in contact with the new friends you’ve made, be sure to exchange phone numbers and/or emails. 发电子邮件是一种简单、经济的保持联系的方式。

记录下旅途中遇到的人和地方，可以让你的旅行更轻松。和你将要离开的人合影留念。

照片并不是唯一的纪念品。 Buying little trinkets and memorabilia during your trip can be a good way to keep the experience with you.

文化冲击

返乡文化冲击是指返乡时的心理、情感和文化方面的冲击。 It can cause symptoms such as: boredom, reverse homesickness, feelings of isolation, and more. Learning to deal with reverse culture shock will get you back on track with your life in America.

If you are feeling down or alone, NWACC provides 免费咨询 to students.

Taking your new interests from your trip and incorporating them into your life at home can bridge the gap between there and here. Join a new club, take a new class, or master a new hobby.

你可以加入的一个俱乐部是世界公民俱乐部。 You’ll get a chance to talk to people from all over the world as well as other study abroad students. Speaking to other students that have the same experiences as you can give you a chance to share your stories.

分享你的经历

When you get back from your study abroad trip, you will have a multitude of stories you’re just dying to share. What often happens is that students will share too much and too often. 人们会想听你的旅行，只是不是一直都想听。 Try to be conscious of other people’s time and feelings when sharing your experiences.

Volunteering to assist the 出国留学 department with recruiting future study abroad students and sharing information about future trips can give you an opportunity to share your experiences and make new friends with similar interests.

如果你需要另一个渠道来分享你的经历，试试写日记或博客吧！ Writing it down can be a great way to get all those pent up stories out and people all over the world love to read about travel experiences.

家人和朋友

Catching up with your family and friends will probably be high on your list once you’re home. 学生们常常忘记，当他们离开时，家里的生活还在继续。 This can lead to your friends and family being on a different schedule than you.

When coming home, be sure to give your family and friends a heads up of your return if possible. 如果他们知道你要回家，你回来后就会容易一些。 In case your family or friends have changed their routine while you were gone, try accompanying their schedule and joining their activities.

睡眠时间

As is recommended when leaving the country, you should try to stay awake until the customary bedtime in the current time zone. This forces your body to adjust to America's sleep schedule after being abroad.

此外，一定要在习惯的时间醒来。 Set multiple alarms to be sure you wake up on time.

If you need, 20 minute naps can be a great way to get the rest you need while adjusting to America’s sleep schedule.

赶上学校

If you are taking multiple summer classes, you may need to catch up with the work and learn what you missed while you were away. Have a talk with your professors before you leave and after you get back so you can stay on track with your courses.

Some other good ideas would be to get notes from a classmate and ask for extra copies of any handouts.

Once you’re back, you’ll need to make sure that the course you chose to accompany your trip transferred back successfully, both at NWACC and at your chosen transfer institute, if applicable.

其他技巧

Once you’ve found that perfect place to eat, play, or relax abroad, it’s hard to be without it once you’re home. If so, find a place in your area that is similar to what you found abroad.

打开行李可能是回归家庭生活的关键。 When you get home, put away clothes and your suitcase as soon as you can to fully settle into life back here.

It’s recommended that you set up a doctor’s appointment before you leave, and it is just as important to schedule one when you get back. It is not uncommon to get sick upon return, and your doctor can help you weather illness.
