Reverse cultural adaptation

I've heard that reverse cultural adaptation can be harder than cultural adaptation. I am starting to think that myself. It hit me while I was snorkeling today that if I need a break from studying, I can't walk across the street to the beach and hang out with tons of marine life. 

I'm going back to a world where I have to shower every day, have to cram tons of cellular pathways into my brain on the reg, and am responsible for so more much more than just myself.

I think the post-abroad depression is going to be real.
