It's at that point in your study abroad experience where we're missing your loved ones a little extra than normal. In our defense, we've been flying solo in a different country for 3 months...props to us! Below are 15 texts I (and probably you) are guilty of sending to your family, friends, significant other, etc:

1. "I miss you."

2. "What time is it there?"

3. "I have major FOMO."

4. "Send pictures of insert pet's name NOW."

5. "I wish you were here."

6. "X days until I'm home!"

7. "When I get back I can't wait to go to insert restaurant's name."

8. "I have never been this broke."

9. "I am CLEARLY super cultured now."

10. "Buttttt I do miss having English be the given language."

11. "Give me the scoop/updates on life in America."

12. "Here are pictures from place you just traveled to."

13. "If you were here, you would LOVE this."

14. "The time difference is killing me."

15. "I love you so much."
