Leaving home, and it's just sinking in...

[lovefoolb4u]

I dont know why it's just come over me, but i'm just sitting in my room on my laptop listening to music and it's suddenly sunk in - i'm moving out of this city, away from my best friends and away from my family, to go to university and join a brand new life.

starting to realise that i'll really really miss my friends and family, and being able to see them all the time - can't believe i'm finally going out into the real world. it's so scary! just realised how terrified i am...

sorry, just felt like sharing that with people!

Take it from a mum who has seen it done.......you will be so bloody drunk the first few weeks.....you really won't care. Actually - I think that is intentional. Get the freshers drunk...they will never want to go home again!!!

Enjoy it...and have a great time---I am sure you will

You will be fine. Give it a month or so and you will be enjoying yourself hugely. You will keep in touch with your friends...facebook, texting etc. And i expect you will manage home for the odd weekend.
Expect to be homesick at first, all new students are, but that wil go as you make new friends, have new experiences and realise that you are coping with living on your own.

Have a wonderful time,it will be the best time of your life.

Hi love, you'll miss them initially, but!! there's so much out there for you to experience! It's scary at first, but you'll make so many friends!! I work among students & the buzz among them is audible! literally! lol! Just got an email tonight from a student who's just graduated & in that email was several pics of different students I had come to know. I'm a cleaner within the Uni & have made some lovely friends! You 'will' love it, promise! xxx

All the college reps that come to talk to my students say that being homesick is to be expected and to give yourself a full year before making decisions about leaving or coming home. Enjoy the time away from home, it is practice for the real real-world.

Wow... you are just starting out in life - a new and exciting time is coming up - and I am so jealous lol !.... Honestly, you will have a brilliant time and look back on this period of your life with affection and warmth (I know I did !). Go out there determined to do your best at Uni, have a ball, meet the best people you will ever meet and have a wonderful time ! PS... don't be terrified... you'll be just fine - the best years of your life are about to start !

Thanks for reassuring answers! feeling a lot better now. i think it's just the fact that i've started clearing my room out etc that's setting me off in this strange mood!

and also maybe to do with the fact that i'd been listening to 'she's leaving home' by the beatles about a minute before i posted that! haha.

Let your family know you care about them & leave for Uni in good spirits! Good luck xxx

I have a great family lovefool, but left home at 17 and never looked back. All the best! x

Don't go.
No actually go, it will be a filtration process, you will soon realise which people matter to you. Some of your friends will no doubt be loyal to you some will not bother. Plus you will meet loads of new folks and receive inspiration and ideas from them. Take my advice if you do get homesick, don't drink it away. You are better to have conquered it all while you are in control, rationalise why you feel homesick and combat that with what is good about the situation you are in. See it as a reward for your efforts, cos that is what it is.
