Another important thing is just to realise that you’re not alone, everyone else may look really happy but when they’re in their rooms alone they’ll be feeling down sometimes too - they just wont tell anyone.

If you want, there are usually counsellors at your college/uni who wouldn’t mind talking to you about it or any other problems. We only get to be students for a few years, and it costs so much that it’s really not worth suffering in silence - with any problem that lasts for more than a few months start to think about what you can do about it. Maybe try and make a new or different group of friends, maybe talk to an experienced adult or counsellor about it, maybe you’ll have to change subject or modules - but never just hope it’ll go away on its own. Problems often do, but you’ll feel better about them if you’ve gone to effort to bring about a resolution quicker.

Good luck and have a great time at college/uni whatever happens.

It’s a usual thing to miss those whom you spend so many years of your life. It is especially difficult to get accostomed to new life during the first year of studies. Then you find a lot of acquaintances and friends and a lot of things to do.

I just found this blog. What an excellent resource for freshman and seniors alike. I’m glad there are people who think it is important to share what they have learned throughout college with those who are just beginning and others who are looking to better themselves. Thanks!

Oddly enough, I’m not feeling too homesick yet. My roommate is desperately missing her family though. I’m sure I’ll start missing home soon though…

I’ll come back to this article then…
