First Time Away From Home. I recently started college (In fact, I've only actually been there for ten days) and I am extremely homesick. I cry every day, I can't eat very much, I barely sleep. I'm at home for the weekend, and I can't even focus on having fun, because I am so afraid of going back.
I've never been away from home for very long, and the members of my family are my best friends. I miss them when I go, and it's so hard for me to focus in class or have any fun outside of class.
I don't want to go back, but I know if I quit now, I will always wonder 'what if?'. I will feel like a quitter. But I honestly want these feelings of constant sadness and loneliness to go away.
I'm going to go to the college counselor, and I'm going to try and delve into my faith, but I'm still terrified of being away.
