<p>Before I ask this question, a little back story. Currently I can't wait to get out of my house. I hate it here. I hate dealing with my parents and dealing with their ****. I'm going to live in college and I can't wait!!! Thank the lord.</p>
<p>So to my question. For all the other students who couldn't wait untill they get to college to get away from their parents, what has your experience been?Are you happy that you are finally out? Or did you do a 180 degree spin and end up missing home?</p>
<p>You will realize that your parents want the best for you and they are having a hard time letting go. You will appreciate them more after a year or so away from them. I miss my parents a lot right now, and it’s not because of the things they did, but rather because of the love they gave.</p>
<p>Enjoy your last few months living with your parents.</p>
<p>I couldn’t wait to get out of the house before I first went to college last year. I sincerely love my hard-working, caring parents, but honestly I could not stand one more month of their bickering & nagging (and the pure boredom of home life). Thinking back on it…college was pretty much everything I wished for. I got the freedom. I found great friends. I love the academic and social environment of my school. </p>
<p>I did miss a few things about home, but I can honestly say I thought about/missed my parents for around 5 minutes a week (maybe). I hardly ever called my parents, and didn’t really feel the need to talk to them often (maybe 1 phone call every month, and a couple few-sentence emails). What can I say, I was not homesick at ALL during college. As a matter of fact, right now I’m college-sick (haha). When I came back though, after the year was up this summer, it did make me a little bit more appreciative of what they have done for me. My parents and I get along great, and although it is still boring at home for the most part, it is a nice change of pace from college. Still can’t wait to go back to school though…</p>
<p>Except many really don’t. I was glad to get out and, three years later, getting away from my parents was the best decision of my life. I make a conscious effort to go back home as little as possible.</p>
<p>still don’t like being here for summer too long, its just not as exciting as college lol. homesickness def wasnt in my vocab most of my past two years, it’ll be nice to have my apt. this year and get to choose more when i wanna come home and for how long.</p>
<p>I’ve just finished my 3rd year of college, and have been home for a couple days at Thanksgiving and a couple days around Christmas. I get way too bored at home and have drifted away from most of the people I talked to in HS. I would much rather spend my breaks (thanksgiving, winter, spring, summer) working at my college job or hanging out with my friends up here. </p>
<p>I talk to my parents a few times a month on the phone, usually if it’s something important or one of us needs something from the other. We don’t call just to chat very often, and it’s okay from both sides.</p>
<p>I do get annoyed when they just want to drop by for a visit unannounced though. One of the downfalls of going to a school fairly close to home I guess.</p>
<p>I wasn’t homesick at all either. The thing I missed most was home cooking, and being able to make my own food. And yes, I am also counting the days till I go back to college.</p>
<p>im going to be a sophomore and yes, i was pretty much a caged lion. i know exactly how you feel. i mean for the most part i missed my mom for like 1 a day…but other than that i had fun! not even partying…just watching movies with my friends and just enjoying to be freeeee! my mother didnt let me go anywhere and didnt trust me to be home alone soo i was pretty miserable for the most part. i mean its cool to hang with your mom…but who wants their social life to be with their mom…ONLY.</p>
<p>I’m home for summer. So boring, girls aren’t as fun as in college, not as much to do, no new people to meet, and funnily enough i actually like my classes at school so i miss learning too. Missed my parents for a little bit, not really. They know I love them, they love me its understood.</p>
<p>Your time to live is in college, if you find yourself missing home you’re doing something wrong.</p>
<p>I’m actually paying extra money to move a day early. It’s not that bad around my house, but since my brother moved out for college, things have been pretty crazy.</p>
<p>Not sure how many days until August 19th, but I’m excited regardless. By then, I’ll be living on campus, I’ll have quit my job, and I’ll have taken my vacation.</p>
<p>August 16th for me yo!
I’ve been waiting 4 years to move out and it’s finally here.
You have to think about why you want to move out? Is it simply boredom or is there an underlying problem. If it is boredom, you might miss them hardcore after a few months. If there is a problem around the house (like me) you probably won’t have homesickness and will completely appreciate your time away. Of course I’ll miss my parents but I think the problems I’ve had for these years will outweigh any thoughts of severe homesickness.</p>
August 22nd could NOT come sooner.</p>
