… since I came back from England. In February 2020 the growing Covid numbers forced me to hop on a plane and return back home. I wasn‘t ready. One day I was sure to have at least 4 months left of my aupair year, the next I was already at the airport. Life is crazy I guess.
Now being back home for almost two years I have finally started uni and moved out, but even though I‘m happy where I am right now, it still feels like I‘m behind in a way. While I was in England my friends started studying, apprenticeships, celebrated birthdays and went to parties together. I was in a bubble. Some of them are officially done and started working „a real life, adult job“, I‘m just in my first semester.
It feels like they went on with their lives as usual and I took a break. I loved my year abroad and it gave me so much. Experience, language skills, cultural knowledge, some of the people I love most in my life. I wouldn‘t trade it for the world. Still, it‘s a weird feeling to see my friends from home being „ahead“ of me, even though we did our A-levels together.
