75% of the way through the year and NOW I'm feeling homesick?

<p>I'm a freshman. The first few weeks of school I was homesick, but it went away sooner than I anticipated. I do spend a fair amount of time thinking about and looking forward to going home, but I guess I don't think of it as homesickness because it's not the same sad, overwhelming feeling I had early on.</p>

<p>Last week was my spring break. Usually I adjust quickly after coming back to school, but this time, I'm finding myself being homesick--tears and all. I guess maybe it's because I know I only have 8 weeks left and I'm going home for one weekend, so instead of coming back ready to get back into gear, I feel like I'm just waiting it out until summer. I know I should just try to have fun and get all my work done and trust that summer and home will come soon enough, but for whatever reason, I'm finding myself being really bummed out instead.</p>

<p>I think it also might be because I'm realizing that even this far into the year, my social situation still isn't as comfortable as I would like, and it kind of bothers me that I'm excited to go home because I have a better social life there. Not that I'm <em>unhappy</em> here, it's just that I guess I'm still much more comfortable with my environment (and the people in it) at home.</p>

<p>Has this happened to any of you guys? Or do you have any thoughts on how to feel better?</p>

<p>I still feel the same way sometimes! I think it’s because when we go home, we aren’t stressed about grade, or homework or tests and we can just truly enjoy a night out with friends. </p>

<p>With your social situation…have you tried going Greek? It’s honestly one of the best decisions I have made with my life. Bonds I have made with some of my sisters are incredible. Sometimes I’m actually eager to return to school!! Hear me out =). They help you with school. They give you great “been there done that advice”.They encourage you to pursue your passions. They will become your best friends and you will have the time of your life in college. I love being a Greek member and it has honestly been one of the best decisions of my life! </p>

<p>Good luck with the rest of your year =)</p>
