When I moved to the USA, everything felt so different. My life back home was a lot more predictable, and things moved at a slower pace. I used to everyone in my neighborhood; my family and friends were always nearby. Back then, I had routines I was comfortable with, places I knew well, and people I could always count on. I’d go out with my friends every friday, we used to in the same village, so we all used to to the village pub. But here, it’s a whole new world.
At first, I found it difficult to get used to the way people interact here. Everyone is so friendly and open, and they seem to ask, ‘How are you?’ even if they don’t actually know you! Back home, you wouldn’t ask that unless you really knew someone well. I had to learn that it’s just a polite way to say ‘hello’ here. And small talk is so common! I used to awkward and never knew what to say when people made small talk, but now I’ve started to enjoy it. It’s nice to chat a bit, even if it’s just for a moment in the grocery store line or with my neighbors.
Another thing that was difficult for me to get used to was the food. Back home, I was used to traditional meals every day, with fresh ingredients from the local market. But here, it’s different—there’s so much fast food, and even the supermarkets have food that’s processed and packaged. It took me a while to find fresh ingredients and even longer to figure out which stores had what I needed. I’m still getting used to the different kinds of food here, but I’m learning to find my favorites, and I even enjoy trying some new dishes now and then.
One thing I’m used to now, though, is the convenience. In the USA, everything seems so easy to access. If I need something, I can order it online, and it arrives at my door the next day—sometimes even the same day! Back home, I had to go to different stores and maybe wait for a while if something wasn’t in stock. Now, I just click a few buttons, and I’m already expecting the delivery. I’m also used to the freedom of moving around easily; I have my own car now, which I never used to , so I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. It’s very liberating.
Of course, there are still things that I’m adjusting to. The weather, for one! I didn’t expect such extreme temperatures. So I’m still getting used to for the weather! Back home, the climate was steady and predictable. But here, it can be so hot one season and freezing the next. I’m still getting used to how much the weather changes. Also, I still find it hard to adjust to the holidays here. It feels strange not to celebrate some of the same holidays as back home. And then there are American holidays, like Thanksgiving, that I’m not used to . But I’m getting used to them, even though it’s not quite the same as the holidays I grew up with.
Looking back, life has changed a lot since I moved. I’ve adapted to many things, even if some took longer to get used to than others. But it’s amazing how, over time, things that once felt so strange can start to feel normal.
