Going home every other weekend

I started the same time as you. I had to go home Labor Day Weekend to watch my dogs while my parents went away. I have to be honest, and I think my going home made me feel more homesick. I was a little homesick the first week or so of the semester and then felt fine, but when I had to go back to school after my visit home during Labor Day Weekend, I cried. I was fine when I got back to school, but leaving home for the second time was a lot harder than the first.

Now, I’m not going back home until October 21st, which will be seven weeks since I have been at home. I honestly like the fact that I haven’t gone home since Labor Day. I enjoy the activities on campus, and I wouldn’t want to travel every other weekend. I would also feel as if I am missing out on things if I went home often.

All in all, it’s up to you. I know a lot of people that do go home for the weekend. My school is 2 1/2 hours away from home, so I can go home when I want, but I’m the type of person that hates to travel. I’m content with seeing my family a couple times each semester in addition to the regular school breaks.
