Okay, so I just started college. Like, just started. Orientation was last week and classes officially started yesterday. And I’m…miserable. I miss my family, I miss my friends, I even miss my annoying little brother! I thought I was so ready for this, but I’m constantly feeling like I want to go home. The thing…
Okay, so I’ve been living abroad for about 6 months now, studying at a university in Berlin. The first few months were amazing, everything was new and exciting! But lately, the homesickness has been hitting me HARD. It’s not just missing my family (though I do!), it’s also missing the familiar, like my favorite coffee…

Okay, so I just moved across the country for college and, well, it’s been rough. I knew I’d miss my family and friends, but I didn’t expect this. It’s like, a constant low-grade feeling of… bleh. But sometimes it gets way worse. I’m trying to figure out if this is just regular adjusting-to-a-new-place jitters or…
Okay, so I’m heading off to college in a couple of months, and everyone keeps talking about homesickness. Honestly, I don’t even really know what it actually is, other than just "missing home."
