yep i know what you mean i grew up in jersey and left when i was 13 to move here to taiwan and the whole time i was just missing new jersey and wishing i could go back maybe it's an age thing. i never really embraced taiwan until i was in college (i went to college in california). and that's when i'd come back to taiwan for winter vacation, summer vacation. try to see the best of both places. you'll have chances to visit taiwan during summer and winter right? queens should be somewhat like taipei i think? i'm not too sure. i loved the suburbs of new jersey. the huge supermarkets. the driving. i miss california. the burgers, the tacos. but in taiwan, i have lu rou fan, 7-11 at 3am. i'm sure in time you will learn to appreciate both cultures. for now, just hang in there. know that people have been in your situation before regarding a move to a different country, and we've all gotten out of that problem! find some of the good qualities in queens and start from there :) what schools are you planning on applying to? psych and business. that's a very good combo. your sister's pretty smart. i never actually thought of that. but that'd be pretty hard to double major. my advice would have been: apply undecided to some schools. college is a place to learn and discover. if you branch out into different fields, you might find that you enjoy something entirely different. your parents let you make your own decisions which is GREAT! so they probably won't have much of a problem if you tell them this is what you want to do. it's much more difficult if your parents force you into selecting something you ultimately don't enjoy. these are just some of my experiences that i thought i'd share with you :) ※ 引述《kokoro49 (對不起)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《qmouwu (jeff)》之銘言： : : hey isabelle : : what aren't you used to? : : i grew up in new jersey so maybe i can give some advice. : : but, do you live in new york city? or new york state? : : i actually love the east coast, even though now i think taipei is super : : convenient. i loved the lifestyle there. : : hope you'll be able to adjust more quickly! : I live in Queens, ny. : i'm not too sure myself why i still can't get used to the life here. : i guess it's that nostalgic feeling for taiwan that sort of prevents : me from enjoying the life that i have here. : you know, it's very hard to leave a place where you have lived for so long : and then move to a completely foreign country, especially when you were : still a kid. : and i still have family and friends back in taiwan. it's hard not to : miss them ._. --
