I'm European citizen living in Australia. I have a 12-month working holiday visa and I got eight good months to go.
I know that I need to go back home and get a proper degree, and therefore a finacially secured and stable future. However those next years which I have to spend in my country of origin are going to feel long as ever. I've fell in love with this country, I really feel home here in so many ways.I am actually happy.
Where as in August I'll have to fly to a foreign small city and start studying again. (I don't know anyone from that city nor have I ever even been there but that's where my university is.)
It feels like I'm going to go through the worst breakup in the existence when I leave this country. I'm gonna miss these places and people so much, and knowing that they'll live on and go on with their lives is heartbreaking. Even though it's still several months away, it's killing me already.

What city are you in OP? And what city are you going to?
>>17942976
Sydney.
Going to move to a medium size Scandinavian city.

>Sydney.
Pretty good.
>Scandinavian city.
You'll probably be in for a pretty boring time then. Why aren't you studying here instead? Sydney and Melbourne have great universities.

I sure will and I know it already.
>Why aren't you studying here instead?
This really comes down to financing that circus. It's expensive af for a foreigner, unfortunately.

Oh yeah, I hadn't considered that it would be different for a non-citizen.
You'll be fine. The country will still be here when you get back. Just keep in touch regularly with your friends here and try to keep it in mind. Also take some reminds over with you, maybe some photos and that kind of thing.

Thanks for the tip :-)
Perhaps you can work in the holidays of your tertiary study and fund yearly mini-holidays to Aus? In this day and age, flights arent too expensive; I'm sure you could pull it off with even a low wage job..

No problem, I know how it is so it's what keeps me going when I'm away. I'd suggest flying back to visit too but financing of course can be an issue for that but if you book far enough ahead then flights can be cheap.
