I moved to a particular country purely for studying reasons - 3 year long bachelor. I am currently on my last year which means I will be going back home very soon. As you can tell, I absolutely hate this country. Coming back here after the summer (from my home country) I was full of energy, wanting to make the best out of this last year. However, it has only been 3 months now and I can feel myself unraveling. All I want to do is sleep so that the day of departure comes faster. The first month or two I was really pushing to make the best out of my situation, was very productive and time seemed to pass very fast. But now, it feels as though so much time is still left and I feel as though I just won’t be able to manage and to hold on any longer…

How do I cope with this?

    aw come on cant be that bad

    I’m living in NL and its known for shit weather, I try to take comfort in dimly lit brown bars and soothing sounds of the wind :) is it worse than Dutch weather lol?

    here are some tips when I was struggling with life

    • go to gym!!! walk 7.5k every day!!! eat good!!! drink more water!!!
    • TAKE VITAMIN D IF YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO SUN AND IF ITS NOT A SUN-FRIENDLY COUNTRY
    • pick up some freelance work, like walking the dogs, babysitting, proper work (horeca etc). if you can afford it ensure it takes around 10-20 hours and not more. responsibility is good!
    • change your routine, wake up early, go to bed earlier (goes hand to hand with gym)

    dont waste your days - do stuff! :)

      Haha, I am in NL too 😂 trust me, it’s not the weather since I come from a place with a objectively „worse” one, albeit with no „weather changing from sun to rain every 5 minutes” and an actual winter.
