is it normal to feel a little lonely after break?

I know its the first day of the semester and I should give it time, but Im still feeling weird (kind of like Im on the first week of college again). The first week of college I felt a little lonely and isolated, and Im feeling that way again now. I think its because I was at home for the last 3 and a half weeks and Im adjusting back to college life which In turn is making me a little home sick. The funny thing is I liked being at Penn state more than I did at home before break and now Im kind of wanting to be with my family again. is this normal? anyone else go through this?

Happens to me too. It’s also particularly worse for me in the spring, since winter break is so short compared to the summer.

I go to a school very similar to penn state (UMD) and I felt the exact same way. It’s normal, but you’ll get readjusted a again a lot faster than you did first semester.
