Your family came to visit?

I told my parents to get the frick out and didn't go home till Thanksgiving my first semester. I went home at Thanksgiving for a day, Christmas for a week, and Mardi Gras for a week, other than that I enjoyed the frick out of college life. It's the only time you can be completely free of responsibility and experiment with all kinds of shite. Take full advantage.

When I went to LSU I lived 900 Miles from home. If I was lucky I saw my parents twice a year. Find a nice girl to make you happy and take your mind off things, if that's what you're into.

Looking back, I should have studied more but I went out like 4x a week. In the end it worked out for me, somehow

It gets better. Just push through it and don't let all the jack asses on this site bother you. It is hard to leave and change everything that you have ever known, but it really does get better with time. My mother told me when I left that the road runs both ways......you don't have to be stuck where you are if its not right.

Hey y'all. Did anybody who went to college feel like the time after winter break caused more homesickness than the time after summer break. After summer vacation, everything feels new again, the campus is lively, and I am ready to start classes again after a long time off from school.

But, I just got back to campus for second semester, and it is cold, it got dark really early, campus is quiet, my break was pretty short, and I'm not happy with my living arrangements this year, so it kind of makes me sad that I won't be in my bed any longer. Also, I won't be seeing my family for almost two months, whereas during first semester my family came to visit around three weeks after arriving.

Has this type of situation occurred with anyone else? I think a large part of this is that I am not happy with where I am living, but I also am having a hard time currently with readjusting to college for second semester, and it feels like I am more homesick now than I have been following summer vacation.


100% trolling here.

It's never easy to leave home, but (assuming you're a freshman) it gets much easier as the years go on. I'm as homebody as they get, but there is nothing better than the college experience. Just push through it. Everyone will be back within a week.

Honestly, everyone feels that way. I have been out of school a hell of a long time and when the holidays are done and it is time for me to leave my hometown to head back to work, I still feel a little nostalgic for the old days. School, work, etc. all suck in my opinion...but you have to do them to be successful in life, so push through the week and you'll feel better after you get back into the swing of things.

Totally normal. Campus is dead, weather is shite, holidays were great and now over. Kinda shitty time of year now for many. When I was at LSU, I was usually going back after the holidays to some fun and good parties and still missed home a good bit.

frick, I miss college.

Hey pelicansfan.

I graduated from LSU in 2009 and I sympathize with you on this. I always loved the fall semester, being in Tigerband kept me busy and having a blast with my buds. There was just more excitement and buzz about the fall. I also adore Christmas so being home for a couple of weeks with family always left me pretty glum when I returned for the spring semester.


When I recall my saddest and lowest times in college, they did tend to fall in the time period between Christmas and Easter, for whatever reason. Perhaps I wasn't staying as busy as I was used to, I don't know. But feeling down is ok and expressing that to others is healthier than bottling it up. I don't have a ton of great advice except perhaps getting more involved in a club, part time job, or something you enjoy. I started doing more community service through LSU service learning in addition to my work during the spring semester. Playing my flute and visiting with the old folks at Ollie Steele Burden Manor was awesome. Best of luck and don't let the haters get to you.

Just finished my first semester too bro. Lived by myself for the first time ever, but I dont know your living arrangements. Being alone was definitely a tough adjustment and i was homesick for about 2 months before i started meeting people. Just enjoy the time you get to kinda be an adult but still have your parents there to help financially. Go meet people, getting laid will help morale too obviously

Considering I lived at home 9 miles from LSU, I would often make my own breakfast because I woke up later than the parents. But no. Can't say I got home sick.
