Home sick - HELP

[PeteZaHut]

Thank you for your help everyone. Please say a quick prayer for me.

I’m going to second the advice not to go home for the first few weekends - it will only extend the homesickness.

My advice is to get involved with something. If there’s a coffee house near campus or in the student union, go there and read or study. Find out about the local Newman Center or stop by the local parish.

It will get better, I promise.

…to be homesick is a good sign…in fact welcome it…that proves you have roots in this looney tunes world! Imagine how many folks do not have ‘home sickness’ for they are like displaced persons…or a cast away on a huge rolling sea of indifference. Make a small space in your dorm room your personal corner…your home away from home…thats where you keep their letters,maybe a keepsake or two from your past…and play a tune or two that takes you back…music does calm the wild lost beast! am sure there are other sad lonely souls on campus…pray you find them also…maybe another sad face,disconsolate,moping along class to class…in a corner of the cafeteria,alone on a bench in the square. I attended college at nite for 8 years and hated it…the rides over and back…returning home usually at 11 pm…a cup of coffee ,bed,up at 5am to the post office,do my route etc etc…you have a goal stick with it,consider how the folks back home feel…you are bondng with them as you miss them…good luck and dont give up…remember you are not alone…
