Homesick after the holidays

I forgot to mention another thing that helps a little this quarter. I tried to make my dorm more comfortable. It’s pretty hard to do with a dorm but if you can feel at home and comfortable it helps. My first quarter I didn’t and I only had one seat which was really uncomfortable. Now that my roommate is gone I have a couch even though it’s about a decade older than me and a nice rug that made my room feel more comfortable and homie. I think the key with not feeling homesick is to feel like you would consider your school home somewhat. I love my college and the small town it’s in and really love being there. The more connections you make, the more time you spend on campus and the more you like it, the less homesick you will be. Sorry for rambling so much and hope some of this helps. Just remember, you aren’t the only one feeling like this.
