College Homesick
Im a freshman at college this year and i've been here for about a week. I was fine at first, but now i'm getting more and more homesick. I really miss my parents. I've made a couple good friends but no like a big group which im sure is what is adding to my homesickness. How can I get over this? becuase while my parents are coming for parents weekend in october...i wont be home until thanksgiving.
Thanks!

I am going through the exact thing. I am a freshman in college about 4 hours from home, and I miss everyone like crazy. You feel like you have no one to talk to like you use to. And its just down right hard. You hide yourself in your room and cry sometimes cuz you just don't think you can make it. And worst of all you starting over all new. I'm with you , but what would life be without these scary obstacles and challenges that we face? As hard as is, get out there and introduce yourself, be friendly and go find someone. Because even if you don't realize it there is someone else in the shadows that may want to come out so bad because they are feeling the same way that you are but are too scared too!! Dont worry you will seriously make it and just know you arent alone. If you ever need to talk my email is tarebear_whinery17@hotmail.com

I would be worried about you if you weren't feeling like this. It's natural to feel this way when away from your family and out on your own for the first time. As you make friends, become aware of your surroundings, town or city these feelings will fade. They'll always be there but not as intense. Stick in there you'll see.
If you have met new people try having a social gathering at your place and make these connections more solid and meet their pals as well. In time which you must give things you'll feel as secure here as you were at home.

Try going out with the friends you've made a little bit more. If you've started classes, keep up with your studies. Do you have a job? Maybe get more hours. If you don't have a job, maybe find an on-campus one that you can take up. :)
I definitely understand what you mean. I moved in with my boyfriend 7 months ago, and I'm 2000 miles away from my whole family and I miss them more than anything in the entire world. I'm sure you'll be fine. The homesick-ness can fade in & out.
