Life After Studying Abroad As Told By Harry Potter GIFs

Because Harry knows how you feel...always.

So your calendar and plane tickets are telling you that your semester abroad has come to an end.

Warner Bros.

Really, you're handling it quite well.

You've said goodbye to your abroad friends...

Warner Bros.

Again, handled very well.

Had your last delicious foreign meal...

Warner Bros.

^you, for the last four months, really.

And your last night of foreign frivolity.

Warner Bros.

(you're Dumbledore, everyone else in the country is Snape)

Just like that, your parents are at the airport, waiting to snap a pic fresh off the nine hour plane ride.

Warner Bros.

Missed you too.

And at first, you're actually excited to be home!

Warner Bros.

PEANUT BUTTER AND ICED COFFEE YAAAASSS

You get to see your family...

Warner Bros.

Admit it, you missed them WAY more than you thought you would.

Your friends...

Warner Bros.

No more Viber or WhatsApp!

AND YOUR PET!!

Warner Bros.

I know I smell like Europe, but it's me, dog.

But then all of a sudden....

Warner Bros.

One random day when someone #tbt's an abroad photo...

Home goes from...

Warner Bros.

USA! USA! USA!

To...

Warner Bros.

I've made a terrible mistake.

WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!

Warner Bros.

I NEED TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW

What I wouldn't give to be back WHERE EVERYTHING IS PRETTY

Warner Bros.

Chateaus, oceans, mountains....

I only see squirrels here, people.

And flights are cheap!

Warner Bros.

Never thought I would say that I miss RyanAir.

Trains could bring you to essentially an entire different world...

Warner Bros.

GRANDE-VITESSE.

Love interests were ten times more exciting because ACCENTS and LANGUAGE BARRIERS.

Warner Bros.

Say something again pls.

Classes were actually interesting.

Warner Bros.

Today we're going to...oh you know what it's so nice out let's just go to the actual mountain we're talking about and maybe a famous museum after that.

You're legal.

Warner Bros.

Party in the E-U-R (O-P-E)

And god forbid you have a late birthday...

Warner Bros.

I just spent four months in a wine studies class, and I can't have a glass with my dinner?

On top of that, all your abroad friends don't live down the street anymore.

Warner Bros.

Thank god for the internet.

So anytime you want to talk about being abroad at home...

Warner Bros.

"How was abroad?" is code for "I know you had a great time but please keep it under three sentences."

NO ONE GETS HOW MUCH YOU'VE CHANGED.

Warner Bros.

But you still have all your memories, pictures, and videos of abroad.

Warner Bros.

(Even though it's probably unhealthy for you to look at them.)

You may have even MADE a video of your pictures whilst wallowing in self pity.

Warner Bros.

But above all, you can take comfort in knowing you had the most amazing semester of your life.

Warner Bros.

And it will stay with you. Always.
