So I would say, give it some time. Freshman year of college is a big adjustment. I tell folks invariably one or all of 4 things happen first semester freshman year: roommate issues, getting mono or the flu, taking on too much academically and feeling overwhelmed, or a relationship break-up.

Since you are so close to home, it it helps to get support from your family (and it probably will), plan to get home for part of it.

Ultimately, you want to keep developing relationships at school so it starts to feel like home, so plan to spend some time of the fun weekend with classmates, dormmates or friends. That’s my two cents!

It will get better. Making genuine friendships take time. Allow yourself more time and keep telling yourself things will get better, because they absolutely will!
