Home-sickness. A feeling that is hard to describe but easy to understand. One that is finally starting to sink in at about the two month mark that I have been away at college.
The root behind my feeling of home-sickness mainly involves my friends from back home. Talking to one of my friends over the phone the other day, I realized how much I was missing out on. She starting to tell me about a trip she was about to take with one of her friends. A friend that I had never met or didn't even hear about before that moment. It just hit me like a truck, and thoughts started rushing through my head. How many other things am I missing out on? I am not even clued in to my best friends' life anymore, a realization that made me incredibly sad.
I am still lucky to say though that that has been the only major incidence that I have faced with home-sickness. Other than that, I have stayed relatively sane in adjusting to leaving home.
I have made incredible friends already. Two major friends of mine include my roommate and suite mate. We are actually so close, the three of us, that when we are apart for more than a couple hours we almost hit the point of separation anxiety. I find it so funny that we only met a little over a month ago and now we can't get enough of each other.
I guess another thing I can say I am thankful for then is that I was paired up with such wonderful girls. I have heard numerous stories of other people on campus that have an intense hatred for the roommate that they were designated with. So far, I have no complaints about who I share my dorm with.
I feel like doing these blogs every week help me put my feelings into words about my excitement journey of college life. It has already been an exciting adventure and I couldn't have expected anything better.
