There's not much time left

[karin_tsuki]

I can't believe that I'll be leaving soon. In about one week, I will be leaving Target and in about a week and a half I will be leaving town. It's so strange to think like that. This is my home. I've lived here my whole life. I don't know anything else. How am I going to survive without all these wonderful people in my life? I think I'm going to go

So how is it going? I had moved 45 minutes away to go to college. I remember when my parents left I cried like a baby. I don't know why because I was looking forward to the experience and knew it was only going to be for 9 months. At the end of the 9 months I didn't want to go back. :)

It's going pretty well. I'm starting to adjust a little but I'm still really depressed and sad about the whole move. I didn't cry very much when my parents left but I cried so much the week leading up to my move. Right now, I'm having a hard time not having the people I know and love around but I think it's just a rough patch. I'm sure I'll get passed it.

I'm guessing when you get busy with classes and/or make some friends you'll feel better. You won't feel so homesick.

Yeah, I'm hoping to just kind of stay busy and keep myself distracted until my two best friends and a few other friends come down to visit around the end of the month. I'm doing better now that classes are starting to pick up though. Thanks for talking to me about it :]

[autumndreamer76]

No problem. I just kind of remember feeling how you are.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who went through it. It definitely helps to know that others did as well.

I think a lot of people actually feel the same. They just don't talk about it. Even though you're excited the first year away from home for a long time is a big change. You don't realize til after that you're homesick. For the first maybe three months I'd call home atleast every other day and go home every weekend (I was only an hour away). Then I had made friends and got used to being away. My parents started calling me to make sure everything was okay!

[karin_tsuki]

Yeah, I've been so homesick for a while now. I've made some friends but none like the ones I have back home so it's weird. I don't really fit in here because everyone is like a partier or drinks or smokes or does drugs and I'm just like.. so straight edge LOL I talk to my best friend on the phone all the time and other people from home too so it's pretty cool. I'm totally counting down the days until they come visit me. 31 days!! :]

[autumndreamer76]

Just thought I'd pop in and see how you were doing!

I had a breakdown last weekend but I think I'm doing better. My friends are coming in 19 days :]]] I think I'm adjusting but it's like.. hard.
