<p>There is no one right way to handle homesickness. I feel so badly for kids who are homesick. I remember being homesick at camp as a kid and the word “sick” is in the word for a reason. Some homesick kids do benefit from a quick trip home - it energizes them. For others, it may make matters worse. </p>
<p>OP, there is probably a counseling center on campus with folks who deal with homesickness every day. You may not feel that things are bad enough to reach out for help, but it may be really helpful to talk to someone who better understands the situation.</p>
