Been in School for a Week, Feel Kinda Homesick

I have two suggestions, from a mom’s point of view: First, call your mom or some member of your family and tell them two things you’re liking about school and one thing you miss about home. They will be thrilled to hear from you, and if you consciously tell them some things you are enjoying, maybe you won’t get all negative and sad and excessively homesick while you’re on the phone. Second, watch for events on campus that sound fun to you. Try to attend at least two events in the coming week. This is one of the ways you can find people to socialize with, along with talking to people in your classes and in your residence hall. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you find lots of fun people and things to do very soon. Good luck in college!
