Visiting home over winter break was nice, but now I'm homesick

<p>And it's only my first day back in the dorms! I have friends here and I have plenty to do (and will have plenty of work this semester) but now when it's quiet and I'm just browsing the internet, I just wish I was back at home. It's even worse than the beginning of the school year and I don't know why.</p>

<p>Anyone else feel like this?</p>

<p>Dont worry youre not alone, pretty sure a lot of freshman are experiencing this as well, I definitely am.
think about it, just spent a whole MONTH at home, doing absolutely nothing but hanging out with old friends from HS and catching up, being lazy,ultimate comfort zone as far as no school work whatsoever,etc…basically what I’m used to doing over my summer break.
and now back in school; tons of work and all the stress that comes with it, as well as having to wake up the earliest i’ve had to in WEEKS. of course I wanna go back! but life goes on,and honestly, once you get into your new routine for 2nd semester the weeks are going to start FLYING by and before you know it, it’s mid may and you’re due for summer vacation.</p>

<p>don’t worry i definitely am in the same boat as you :slight_smile: i’ve been back at school for about a week now and the first two or three days were awful for me. i wanted to transfer to a school closer to home, but now i’ve readjusted. being with my friends from here & talking with family/friends from home let me adjust, but getting into a schedule with going to classes & doing work made me more focused on school rather than being home. it’ll get better and soon enough, as tcherrypie said, it’ll be summer!</p>
