I don't mind being at school, but I hate leaving home?

I’m a freshman. I go back from break in a week and I’m starting to get bummed out. Overall, school is alright. I do have a few complaints: I don’t have many close friends, my two closest friends are currently having annoying relationship drama with each other, and I live in an extremely tame honors dorm (I’m no hardcore partier but it would be nice to have the “typical college experience” every once in a while). However, it has definitely become a home away from home and I like the city it’s in.

The thing is, when I’m home, I don’t miss it. Like most people, I like being in my own bedroom and being around family. The main thing, however, is that being around my friends from home on a regular basis again has made me realize that 1. I’m nowhere near as close to my friends at college and 2. I hate being away from my high school friends.

I hear so many people talking about being so excited to get back to college, and while I do like college, I just like home much more. Is anybody else feeling something similar? Any advice?
