<p>Freshman year of college?</p>
<p>I was homesick for maybe three days after I moved into the dorm. It was manageable though and mostly because I had a lot of business-type things to take care of. After that, I learned how to take care of myself and was fine.</p>
<p>My mom and dad keep saying I’m going to get soooo homesick when I leave in August! Yeah, probably not THAT much!</p>
<p>I did for a while. I thought I wouldn’t get homesick at all, because I love my school to pieces. But the homesickness didn’t last past Fall Break.</p>
<p>If you get homesick, something that helped me is to talk to friends at school or listen to music. Also, stay as busy as possible.</p>
<p>Not gonna lie, I did. For like three weeks. Mostly because I felt alone, like I didn’t fit in with my roommates (two became like BFFs and I felt almost unwelcomed/unliked) and it was just really hard to adapt. </p>
<p>But I got over it. I realized how amazing it was to be away from home and to be able to do whatever the hell I wanted. I miss college life now that I’m home, can’t wait to go back. :)</p>
<p>Not in the slightest. I never looked back. But I’ve lived in a lot of different places so I don’t have ties to anywhere really, and I didn’t like where I was living at all. My first year was the most amazing year of my life, so I never once wished I was at home. I’m probably never coming back after this summer.</p>
<p>Wow RoxSox, that’s awesome. I’m kinda jellin on ya. ;)</p>
<p>Honestly I prefer being on my own then with my family, I was kinda the black sheep and they always made that fact obvious when I was around them so I don’t really plan on seeing them often. In my opinion people feeling homesick are either close to their family or use to living in one place their whole life…and I fit neither of those so I’m good :)</p>

<p>This is pretty much the story of my life, just subsitute “roommates” to “floor.” My floor was really small and all became BFFs right away and I just… didn’t fit in with them. But as soon as classes started and I got involved on campus and began meeting other people, it got a LOT better. </p>
<p>Part of the problem I think was that my parents helped me move in and then stuck around for 2 additional days, so being around them so much those days in my new home really made me miss them and appreciate them more when they were gone.</p>
<p>I feel like I will be. I’m not a freshman, but I’m transferring from a community college to a university 5 hours away. I mean, at least until classes start. Transfer students move in about 3 days before the dorms open for regular upperclassmen and 1 or 2 before freshman move in. But after hearing about so much stuff there is to do on campus, I think I’ll forget all about it.</p>
<p>Absolutely. I made almost no friends at school, save for one or two from my floor. Not really having a connection with anyone made me miss my friends from home even more than I would have. I did have a bunch of friends from home at school with me, too, so I kind of used them as a crutch.</p>
<p>I absolutely love my family so I always miss them when I’m away, it doesn’t matter for how long. I went home a lot the first semester just because I didn’t have too much to do on the weekends since I hadn’t really made friends yet. It got better second semester, especially once I realized how it weird it felt to be home after being away. </p>
<p>If you get homesick it’s okay. Especially if this is the first time you’re living away from home it’s almost expected. Moving to college is a huge transition, it can take some getting used to at first. Give it about a month and your college town will start to feel like a second home :)</p>
<p>I absolutely love, love, love school but I’m also extremely close to my family (especially my mom) so I tend to get homesick near the end of the semester since I don’t usually get to go home that often, especially in the spring. Spring semester my freshman year, I was at school from January 5 to May 8, which is the longest I’ve gone without seeing my family, and it’s hard because being 11 hours away, I can’t just get in the car and drive home to spend time with them. But 98% of the time I’m fine.</p>
<p>My home gets sick of me. :[</p>
