Have you ever been studying abroad?

I'm really depressed about my friends studying abroad?

  • When I was a freshman, all I wanted to do was study abroad in England. I wanted to go for at least one semester. But my mom was having emotional break-downs, and I moved back home after one semester at a University hundreds of miles away. Now I live at home and drive to class at my new school. This new school only allows certain majors to study abroad, and my major isn't one of them. Also, I had given-up thinking about studying abroad because of my mom. I feel like I can never be too far away from her without her getting sick again (she was having breakdowns in public when I was at my first school). Now that I'm a Junior, I've noticed that all my friends are studying abroad and it's making me really depressed :( One girl went to China, three are going to Italy, my cousin is going to Greece, and one is going to Spain....They're all going about the same time too, so I just keep hearing stories over and over and over about people studying abroad and I'm so jealous :( I'm really happy for them, but I also have this extreme feeling of loss. I wanted to study abroad so badly and I'd forgotten how important it was to me until this happened. How do I stop feeling so sad and jealous? There is no way I could study abroad with my stupid school, and I don't have enough money to travel someplace like that over summer.

    Disable your Facebook account. Focus on bettering yourself & your life. Also, you can intern/work/volunteer abroad even after graduating. College is overrated.
