College break
I hate being home on long breaks from college. When I'm at school everything is amazing and I'm perfectly happy. At home, I feel surrounded by a general sense of negative energy. I don't click with my friends here the way I do at school, my family annoys me, I get easily irritated, I'm extremely lazy, and always tired despite getting 10 hours of sleep a night (or day, I typically go to bed at 4am and sleep until 1:30 in the afternoon ugh I hate that). Everyone here annoys the hell out of me. I hate having to drive to do anything. I hate how cold it is. I overthink things and get depressed. Over the summer I had huge issues with being home. My job gave me intense anxiety and I had a self-esteem crisis. I felt like the biggest loser ever. Then I returned to school and it's literally the opposite. I just had the best semester ever. I'm a totally different person at school than I am home. ughh I just want to be there and have my regimented schedule back with all the people who I love and make me happy, all my work and classes, and beautiful, serene outdoor scenery. How can I be make the most out of these next 4 weeks at home and be more of a cheerful, energetic person?

I agree, try to keep in touche with your friends from college if you can. That may help with some of the issues. The tiredness could be from the change of sleeping schedule. I imagine you probably don't sleep so long when you're taking classes. Maybe try sticking to a similar sleeping schedule as you do then so it doesn't mess with your internal clock too much.
I'm not sure what your hobbies are, but a time like that would be a good time to engage in one, or find a new one. Something to occupy your mind and give you a sense of accomplishment so you don't feel so lazy and stressed.

I can totally understand where you're coming from. I haven't experienced this myself, but I get the whole idea of negative energy around the house and being a totally different person somewhere else.
Since you cannot physically go to the school, you should try and talk to a lot of your friends from school. That could by text, phone call, skype, etc. Since they are something the contributes to your happiness, focus on them. Maybe organize some days/nights out with them, or you can go to your house and visa versa.
Also try just really focusing on what you love to do. Maybe you love to read? Just lock yourself away from everything in your room and just read.
Just try and keep in mind it's not for a lifetime so try and just focus on the things that can make you happy. Good luck. xx
