<p>how are you guys dealing with it?</p>
<p>My house is yet to get sick!</p>
<p>I let it pass with time. I was very homesick during a 6-week prefreshman program back in 2001. It was academically tough and the longest 6 weeks of my college career. I just dealt with it and it passed eventually. You get used to not being at home.</p>
<p>Soon you will get homesick for college when you are back in your hometown. You will soon realize how rough and stupid highschool was and you won't really want to go back, save maybe to see your two or three best friends. Besides, when you go back you just see all the girls you worked so hard to forget. Homesickness is natural, but IT WILL PASS. That's all I can tell you.</p>
<p>ya i was wondering what it would be like to come back home after being away at school.... so.. the same sorta "homesick" feeling but from school... odd</p>
<p>I was homesick as hell. I had also left behind a girlfriend and we didn't bother to do the whole breaking up thing until after we got to college. (Mistake.) So, I had a rough time. Plus I am halfway across the country, and have a group of very close friends at home. coming back home was all i looked forward to, but for the wrong reasons. now that i'm here and i've tied up loose ends, I'm looking forward to getting back to school and being able to be really there. missing home is going to happen. being truly depressed about it- that doesn't need to happen.</p>
<p>so. </p>
<p>excited go home... to school.</p>
<p>Yeah actually this was my first trip home too, and I was homesick for school pretty quick, so that post was pretty much my current thoughts.
Home is somewht more boring than school too, i might add.</p>
<p>Coming home I learned a lot about my old group of and realized how stupid highschool really was. I really didn't enjoy my experience here because I only got to see teveryone at a big gathering (not really a party, no drinking or dancing), and everyone was being mean to oneanother (though subtly). It was a terrible shame to see how people so readily replaced their old friends with new ones. My two best friends remained the same toward me but everyone else was different, and I wish that I had some time to spend with just the two of them. </p>
<p>I also thought that a girl whom with I had a long relationship that ended well over a year ago would be able to act a little more normal and maybe we could start to be friends again (we were really good friends before we started dating) but that didn't happen either, everything was the same. It's like everyone went to college with their eyes shut and their ears plugged. You shouldn't have a "group" of friends. Friends are not about your relation to a person in relation to other people. It is a two way deal, and shouldn't be dependant on a group decision about whether or not someone belongs. Coming home is fun, but if your friends think that coming home should be a continuation highschool, college will feel like a much more comfortable environment. </p>
<p>I am looking forward to going back to Madison after last night, and I am pretty sure my homesickness has been cured.</p>
<p>I was real "home-sick" in high school.</p>
<p>has anyone felt like going home has made them more homesick? cuz you realize the life you've left behind and the fact that things will never be so simple and innocent again?</p>
<p>i hate my college!!!!!!!!!! I'm back after break and it seriously depresses me that I'm here for the rest of the year...I can't do it. I have no motivation, I can't stand the atmosphere, and I just want the summer to be here now!</p>
<p>Except for seeing my old HS friends, not having to do laundry and being able to drive my car, I'm not really looking forward to going home in winter break. That's when I'm under my parents' roof again (aka lack of freedom) plus I too hate my HS. Oh, and did I mention that the weather is colder at home than here...</p>
<p>Homesickness will go away once you realize that nothing's really the same when you go back home after college for breaks. There's truly nothing to do at home when your closest friends are on a difficult college schedule than you are and are not at home. And there's nothing to do, so might as well stay at school where your friends are waiting for you to give you hugs!</p>
<p>Even as a sophomore who transferred closer to home, sometimes I get a little homesick. You know what? Even though I'm much closer to home, I don't even really bother thinking about finding ways to go home because I'm having too much fun and my parents are more likely to be the ones making the effort to see me. So I survive just fine. Just that my dog isn't with me :)</p>
<p>Sometimes it's not the homesickness that makes you unhappy, sometimes it's the college atmosphere. I was definitely a bit homesick but I realized that I didn't really want to be home NOR at my last school. That's how I knew that I wasn't truly happy at all and not really homesick.</p>
<p>I've only been homesick a few times, mostly when my sister calls me upset about something and I can't be there to fix it for her. I think I'm pretty homesick right now though. I just got back to school; I'd been home since Tuesday. Now all I want is to go home. But it may have to do with saying goodbye to dad, since I won't see him for another 4 months probably.
For the most part though I just have to let it pass. Sleep helps a lot. So does doing something to distract yourself. I've gone to movies here on campus, gone to dinner with friends, anything to be with people, and away from your thoughts.</p>
<p>im definitely sick of home. cant wait to go to college</p>

</p>
<p>My house has suffered lots of trauma from various construction work.</p>
<p>Cry in my pillow until i can't cry anymore.</p>
<p>I'm very homesick right now. It kind of came on me by surprise actually. I thought I would love college so much that I wouldn't really want to go home, but now that I've been here for a while I REALLY want to go home. I like my college, though. It's weird though, because I never really had close friends in high school, I just miss my family a lot.</p>
<p>But in all seriousness, i really do lack the security of being home, oh well, that's what college is all about i guess, breaking away...</p>
<p>yeah even with everyone back, home isn't the same. Or maybe it is the same and that's the problem. I don't know, but I am happier at school than I ever was in highschool (save a few brief moments, like junior prom)</p>
<p>My house is sick. It needs a room painted!</p>
<p>The people I wind up seeing when I go back (which will be permanently in two weeks) are the people who matter most like my minister and my band director (not school). Also get to see old friends like my barber, neighbors, etc. Haven't seen a whole lot of my HS buddies but we are planning a reunion over Christmas. Also there is a good friend who's an underclassman in HS who I get to see (but don't see her that often because school keeps her busy). And let's not forget my dog in all of this. I even saw my kindergarten teacher at the mall over break.</p>
<p>Homesickness isn't why I'm going home. It's the fact that I hate my school and the one I want to go to happens to be two miles from my house.</p>
