When people talk about homesickness in college, they usually mean missing a place. It could be their house, their hometown or the people they left behind. For me, homesickness feels different. It is not tied to a specific street or building but to something less tangible: culture. Although I am from St. Louis, my roots are in Mexico City, and now that I am attending college at Mizzou, I have realized that what I miss most is not just home but the everyday presence of my culture.

Coming to Mizzou, I always knew studying abroad was something I wanted to do before graduating. In my first semester, I went to the Journalism School’s study abroad fair, where I browsed all the tables advertising different countries and programs. I remember seeing all the programs Mizzou offers journalism students looking to go abroad. I applied to go for a short-term trip to Latin America. Where we would spend two weeks in Argentina and Costa Rica. I thought this was a safe option to start with.
