Meeting new friends, living in a new place and learning new things sounded so exciting, until you got there. And, believe it or not you are not alone. Many college students find themselves craving home-cooked meals and longing for high school friends. Believe it or not, realizing that you are homesick is the first step towards getting over it. You Can Deal.
Many students can overcome the feeling of homesickness and find happiness in their new environment.
Create a home away from home environment. Bring knickknacks from home that remind you of special times. Make a hometown scrapbook. Arrange photos of friends, family or special places in a photo album. Add to it special momentos, stickers, cut-outs, anything that enhances the photos to make them even more memorable.
