I think one way I reacted to college (and I was far from home, too) was to build my own new little "family" there. I was one of those people you may know who sets up home with a significant other, moving together into one or the other's dorm room. We become the "ol' married couple."
I hope your group of friends gives you a lot of emotional support. In retrospect, I wish I would have relied on a group of friends more than a few people. Because when your significant other and you go splitzo, you realize, "Damn! I really don't know many other people very well!" People whom you liked but didn't have much time to be with.
And then...poof! College is over, and everyone you cared about there is gone, and now you are homesick for college.  |
Yeah my mom sent me a really cute card with the care package that made me cry. The first year I was excited, now it's all work and nothing else... I'm tired all of the time and I don't have time for anything. My group of friends isn't much of a group of friends... I kind of have like... friends but all over the place. And my roommate (my best friend here) is just as homesick as I am. We might take a visit to her house since she's 30 minutes away, and it would probably make me feel better being in a home-y situation.
Lucky I don't have a significant other... I don't even have the time for that **** anymore, I have too much on my plate right now.
I don't know, I just wish college only existed until I was mature and ready to be home. Until I was over that whole, "**** YOU MOM AND DAD, I'M FREE" stage. I'm definitely over that now.
