This is supposed to be an adventure?

I'm in Clemson now, as of Friday.  And I'm homesick as hell.  I don't know what I'm doing here, all I want is to go home.  I miss my family, my friends, my Jonny.  I am homesick for the first time in my life, at 24, and I have no idea how to deal with it.  Everyone tells me to give it a few weeks, things will get better.  I'm trying to, I really am

You're gonna be ok Jen... I know this is the first time you've really been away from Pgh but I'm sure you're going to adjust soon. I hope that you can find a vocal/band group or something to hang out with. Maybe you could get involved with a church choir. I did a quick Google search & you might want to check out St. Andrew's... http://parishwebsite.tripod.com/ If not a choir, you might be able to get involved in some volunteer work through the church and meet people through that.

In the meantime, maybe you could at least kill some time (and stress) by something simple like going to the gym. Hey, it gets you out of the apartment, right? I also found this link on Clemson's website...

I know it's mostly geared towards undergrads, and the fall orientation week is definitely over, but you might be able to track down some interesting things to do through the student affairs website.

Hope this helped. I miss you already, but I know you are gonna do just fine down there. And don't forget that you can call anytime you get lonely! *hug* Have a great day Jen :)
