Homesick Sophomore

Hello all,

So I’m, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, a sophomore in college. I’m having a really tough time. My college is only a couple hours away from home, but I’m still feeling the loss. The first year was a bit easier because I had my girlfriend and I kind of threw myself into my schoolwork. My girlfriend and I got an apartment over the summer because my school didn’t have room for me on campus housing. The longer I stay in this city, I find that I really don’t like it. I don’t like the apartment, or the city, or the school, or my classes. I just want to go home and be with my mom. We’re really, extremely close and the longer I stay away, the worse it gets. Usually I’m able to turn off my brain and just do what I’m supposed to, but I’ve been home for about a month now for Christmas break and I really can’t stand the thought of leaving. I would love to stay home and just get an online degree but I know that I should probably continue to force myself to grow up. But it tears me up to think about it, and I just feel…stuck. I don’t know what to do or how to help myself. The college I’m attending is the closest one to my home; I really don’t have any other option. Unless there’s something I’m just not thinking of.
