From take off in New York, to a balcony in Stockel Belgium, to her meanderings through the Middle East, Liv is shadowed by the ever impending departure back to the United States.

You may have Reverse Culture Shock if you...

Have the following Symptoms of Reverse Culture Shock.:
â€¢ Boredom
â€¢ Restlessness
â€¢ People at home do not appear to think beyond the Oxy/US bubble
â€¢ You canâ€™t fully articulate your experience
â€¢ Relationships have changed
â€¢ Homesickness for your host country
â€¢ People misunderstand
â€¢ Feelings of alienation
â€¢ People donâ€™t want to hear...

Recognize the stages:
Stage one: Disengagement may happen before you leave your host country and often times occurs because of the pace of finals, goodbye dinners. As a result, you begin to distance yourself from friends and host country nationals.

Stage two: Initial Euphoria may also occur as a result of leaving your host country and returning to the US. This is where you may have formed idealistic views of home, and what will happen upon your return. You are happy to be home! This feeling of euphoria may last a few weeks, but may inevitably give way to feelings of loneliness.

This is Stage three: Irritability and Hostility, which is the realization that life at home went on without you, and as you were learning new things and making subtle changes, they were too. You may feel that friends and family donâ€™t understand or want to hear what you experienced abroad.
