Just like every year, the end of August is also the end of the summer vacation period for most of us. Returning from a vacation one of the first things that come to my mind is this quote from the movie Juno:
“I never realize how much I like being home, unless I’ve been somewhere very different for a while.”
I look forward to sleeping in my own bed again, not living out of a suitcase anymore and other little luxuries of life that only your own home can provide. However, I usually also can’t shake some feelings of what can be best described as holiday depression: The dreading thought of going back to work, having to wear clothes other than your holiday attire that consisted of a bikini and flip flops, the fading tan that you worked so hard on. As it turns out there even is an entry on Wikipedia about post-vacation blues which lists some of the common symptoms.
