I'm a freshman in college....and I hate it, need some help

Quintox

OK, I just have to tell it like it is right now, I don't care how stupid I sound.

I am a freshman in college, moved in on August 22 (a little over a week ago). It's a tiny college, really close to home (45min drive), and I like the campus.

I've been in classes for one week, I like my roomate and he introduced me to 2 of his friends whom I like as well. There are 2 guys on my hall as well that I like. The people here are nice, and supposedly (sp.) everyone here (who's been here) really loves it.

Now, my story I hate college. I don't know why, I feel like something is wrong with me. Nobody else seems homesick, others seem to like it, but I am having a horrible time adjusting. I'm extremely homesick, the first 2 days I was here I barely ate and I would randomly cry a bit (not sob).
I went home this weekend (we were playing my brothers college so I went home to watch the game and stayed 2 days since my roomie was going away as well).

I was glad, it was good to be home, etc etc. I didn't feel like I was dreading going back to my dorm until a few hours before I left. I am here now (dorm) and now I am more homesick than I was prior to going home. I figured this would happen and no, I don't plan on going home every weekend.

What the hell is wrong with me? I am very sad and I miss being home soo much. I don't know why. I loved high school and I'm jealous of my friends who are still home/in high school. I call home a lot which makes me feel better. I hate to say this and I haven't told my parents, but I really wish I would have gone to a branch campus for another school so I could commute.

I feel stupid, lonely, and like a total wimp. My parents and other sources tell me it's hard at first and it'll get better, which I suppose it will...but honestly it really, really feels like it won't. My parents know I am having a hard time and they are trying to help. My mom has told me other stories of coworker's kids who are in another school and the daughter called up her mom after a few days crying that she wanted to go home. In one of my classes we had to do an assignment/read it aloud and a girl's story was about being homesick ; she hated college, basically for all reasons I've listed here. (she cried in the middle of reading it). It makes me feel a little better to know that but not fully.

What do I do? Anyone have experience with this? And please keep the jokes minimal, though I know it's hard to.

being homesick sucks, but whatever you do, dont quit

My friend was exactly the same way. Keep in touch with your family and visit them a lot. After about a month or so you will get used to it. Funny thing is that I thought I was going to be like this. Turns out I actually love college. Don't worry you are not the only person that this is happening to. You can perhaps talk to an adviser at the college?

I'm not going to quit, right now I just hate it. I hope it will get better when semester ends. Like I said above, I really wish I would have gone to the state school's branch campus so I could commute home. I want to do this if I still don't like college in a few months, but at the same time, I don't b/c I want to like where I am now.

Wow, well hey, let me know how it goes. If you are having a hard time, think of me, you won't be alone )

And also, after a semester, if you are homesick, you can always just move back home and commute.

Didn't mean to scare you.

You may feel like that now, but once you build more friendships, college will start to feel like your new home, and when winter break comes you may just start to miss college.

Yeah but in all seriousness, wasn't your mom's rein what you wanted to get away from just months/weeks ago?

I don't think being homesick is such a bad thing, you just have to ween yourself away from being home all the time. Just start going home less and less and eventually you'll only come home once in a blue moon and it won't bother you.

I came here from Scotland when I was 21 not knowing anyone but my wife, and it took three deaths, an eviction, a move, the loss of a job, being robbed, unemployment and the near extinction of my family in an explosion for me to hate this place.

The hardest times in your life are sometimes the best because they make you a stronger and better person for getting through them and prepare you for the hard times that lay ahead.

Stick it through and you'll be glad you did.

I can imagine how hard it is for you. Remember that it is okay to be sad, and even to cry. Make sure you take care of yourself, make sure you are eating and socializing. Dont suppress your emotions, but also dont let them control you. Keeping yourself active with friends and activities is the best way to take your mind off your anxiety and sadness.

02-09-2007 22:07:52

It's my first few days in college, and it wasn't the best since i only know 1 person down here now, since my roomate went home for the weekend. I recommend just going to the common room and playing some pool/ping pong with some people and talking with them. Maybe grab a bite to eat or something. I think college is fine aslong as you have people that you know and what not.

I like the setup I have now because I'm with a new guy for a roommate, but I still have a lot of my good friends from high school here. I've met some new guys from all over the place (LA, Chicago, etc), and they're all really cool guys, but at the same time, I don't want to lose my high school friendships.

When my parents left I was actually pretty upset and crying a little bit, but I had my sob session, then got my mind off it by meeting up with some of my friends. Stay occupied and it will keep your mind off of everything.

02-09-2007 22:40:33

Go out and have some fun. As the old saying goes "The World Is Your Oyster". Study hard and play hard. It's normal to be homesick. I joined the military right out of high school and was homesick, but once I was out of basic training I had a blast.

Being homesick means you have a good family life and a good relationship with your family and that's why you miss them and home so much. That's not a bad thing.

next weekend go out and party, evne ifn u don't drink, g o tio a party and meet some people, that'll be the wabest way to not feel homesick is meeting new people and findinrg more people u can hoang out with on a regualar basis, i went to college ready to start new things, mee tpeople, and get away from home and be on my own, u gotta go in ready to start new things or its not gonna be eany fon at all, just go out, and have a good time, once you meet new people you'll have a lot more fun... high school friends are people you remember forever, college firends are people you hang with forever...

It was pretty bad for me for a while when I first went to school last year. I had just broken up with my girlfriend and I was lonely as hell. One thing that is almost guaranteed to cheer you up is getting mail. Not email, real physical mail. It could be cookies from mom, or just a letter from my grandpa (of which I kept all of them.) I'm sure there are some sort of clubs or groups that you have interest in, and it's obviously people with the same interests as you, so don't worry about people not liking you. When you find a set group of friends, it's like you have a second family.

I know exactly how you feel! When I started college, I foolishly chose one literally on the other side of the world from my home...I went from Japan to Philadelphia. Not only was I so homesick I could barely function, but I also suffered the most intense culture shock being around "all these Americans". I was miserable, lonely and hated college soooo much! So, yeah, I truly do understand your feelings. It's normal and I bet there are a lot of others who feel like you, but are ashamed to admit it because it's not "cool" to hate college. It's a tough thing to get over, but hang in there, it really does get better after a month or two. And keep telling yourself "I could go home RIGHT NOW if I really wanted to", especially since it's true. You're only 45 minutes away...my husband used to commute that long for work everyday, so if you truly wanted to, you could go home for dinner once a week or stop by on a Saturday morning every once in a while, there's absolutely nothing stopping you. You could bring your new roommate or friends with you. Try to overlap your new life with your old life a bit. Knowing you could be back at your home within 45 minutes [i1f4cd46f35]whenever you want [/i1f4cd46f35]will give you the freedom to enjoy your new surroundings a bit more. Hang in there...Good Luck!

Whatever.. Let the kid cry and then everyone in the dorm will make fun of him. ok. I know if there was someone crying in my dorm he would be made fun of. I'd have a ball with the homesick college kid. Sending him bibs and pacifiers every morning.

Maybe the elder women(not college girls) like the emotional guy who can cry but I severely doubt an 18 year old college girl will ever give you any play if you are known as the crying homesick kid.

It is ok to cry, but like I said, dont let sadness control you. Make sure you stay active. Finding things to do will easily distract you from the fact that you are away from home, sooner than you think, it wont even bother you.

Just because you're a dick and laugh at males who cry, doesn't mean everyone else is like that.

Instead of making someones life harder by making them feel like shit for crying, how about trying to make them feel better, or do you not give a shit about how you treat/treated other people?

back on topic i guess... college can be difficult for some people. there has to be an adviser or someone that can help you deal with these problems. i thought i would have a hard time adjusting, but fortunately i love college life. i go to a big time tech school, so i figured there wouldn't be many good looking girls because of the male to female ratio. turns out that there is a college near by that is 100% female. i did find a lot of nice girls on campus though. ) i hope that eventually you will enjoy college too. how about finding friends or activities that interest you?

Yeah theres TONS of clubs, basically a club for anything and everything at college. Join up! Don't stay in the dorms, don't know if you party at all? If so ... hit up some parties! I made a majority of my friends at parties... when you're drinking you tend to be more social. But if partyin isn't your thing, then clubs would be a good way to go. Plus I had certain people that were in almost all my same classes, get to know them as well.

You're going to have to move out of your house sooner or later, unless you want to be living with your mom when you're in your 30's. Given that you're having such a hard time at it now, this is obviously a huge obstacle in your life so you mind as well try your best to get through it. You'll be glad you did. Otherwise, you'll pussy out everytime life gets hard on you instead of taking these kinds of things on as tests you have to get through to become a man.

Just keep going home on the weekends until you can get by without doing so anymore. If you're hanging around the dorms being depressed, you won't have much fun as people won't want to be around you either so at least make an effort to have fun.

If you really can't handle it, maybe it's xanax time (as much as I hate to say it).

I can tell you right now that commuting is a horrible idea. I did that with CC before I transferred and met practically nobody because everybody goes to class then goes home. As soon as I transferred and moved onto campus for a year I made tons of friends.

Keep yourself busy enough to not think about home and eventually you won't think about it.

I'm sure that's true trace, I just don't like the whole dorm life thing. (I have comm. bathrooms) Everything is a pain to do, showering, brushing teeth, bathroom, having a roomate awake while I'm trying to sleep, not eating breakfast (or at least not a lot), etc etc.

All that stuff is so nice/easy at home. I mean all I can do is see how it is in a few months, hopefully I will enjoy it more.

Oh, and to clarify, I wouldn't commute to my current school. I'd transfer to a branch campus of a big college and go there. Only like 15% of students live on campus on that school/branch, so almost everyone commutes. Not sure if that's good or bad for meeting people. right now I live 45 minutes away from my college, and if I was to transfer to the branch school I'd be 25 minutes.

No, actually good2speed is a fucking idiot...you are not a gangster, you are not tough, and you probably have cried numerous times in your life regardless of how old you are. If you really are a gangster and a "street pharmacist extraordinare" like it says in your profile...what the fuck are you doing on some freebie forums? Don't you got some corners to hold down, some coke to cook up, people to shoot or something? Honestly, find something better to do with your life than make other people feel worse about something. I also suppose that in all your time spent bangin, you have somehow made time to have over 1800 posts on this forum and have built up a decent TR...how likely. I think the mods should change his title from "Wanna-Be-Moderator" to "Wanna-Be-Wankster" that should fit you appropriately.

I don't know who that was directed to, but I think if anything the petty shit is someone actually flaming the guy that made this post because he is homesick and trying to adjust to college. Me on the other hand I am just trying to point out some facts.

pretty bold statement since you haven't met me.

I feel sorry for you Good2speed. Being angry and crying are the same emotion, it just takes a stronger person to be able to cry. But its fine if that is who you are, just stop mocking other people for being who they are.

um this is carrying on a bit too far. this thread was actually useful for a while. no one should be making fun of someone that is emotional. for all you know you may have a situation that will cause you to cry. i do not buy the idea that a person is so strong they will never cry. there will be a situation where you will get very emotional.

but on topic, you'll be fine if you stick in there and go out and meet people. You will never have a good time in college or get over being away if all you do is sit in your room. Go to the game room, talk to people in classes, and go out and have fun!

To JOSHBOX Your avatar is funny as hell, I like how the cat pops up outta the corner lol.

To Quintox Just stick with it man, I don't go to college myself right now but almost everyone I have ever talked to said it is/was a blast. Supposedly some of the best times you will ever have. I know what you're sayin about the whole dorm thing, I personally wouldn't wanna share a small ass room with another guy and have no privacy ever and then have to share bathrooms and all that, that would suck. You could always just deal with it this year and then maybe find someone next year to rent an apartment or house with so then you will have more personal space to yourself and be able to have your own room/bathroom/shower and everything. I hope everything works out for you though and you start to enjoy yourself. The parties are a blast btw, definately check those out if you're into that.

over time, you start getting more into the swing of things in college, you start calling less and being more preoccupied with stuff going on around you, especially if it has only been a few weeks, id say in about a month or two you should start really coming around. yeah its definitely hard for some to adjust to everything at first, especially if you are really close to your family and friends back home, my best advice would be to just dive into ur school work to get ur mind of off things, thats the ultimate point of college right?... to study in your chosen field

I really enjoy going home on the weekends, which is what I did once again this weekend (stayed most of Saturday here though, then went home). It makes me feel better knowing I can go home and relax on the weekend and I enjoy the week better.

I think I'll just go home on the weekends until I get to like college more, then I'm sure I will be going less and less.

tylerc

09-09-2007 21:17:15

Going home on the weekends won't help you like college more. That logic is counterproductive.

I went through 2 weeks of preliminary school called MAPS to prepare me for the rigorous math courses at my school, then 2 weeks of bootcamp, and now four more years of regimental lifestyle. In case you didn't catch on, I go to a small military school called Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I have inspection in the morning at 640 for my room and cleaning stations in which I clean shit stained toilets. I then miss breakfast and hardly have time for lunch between my academic and regimental responsibilities. I have to run to class, salute seniors with rank of 2 bars and up, and get made fun of by upperclassmen. I put up with shit knowing that in four years I will be making close to $95,000 a year (starting median salary for an MMA graduate in my major) while my friends who went to bigtime universities and acclaimed schools will struggle to find jobs in the real world. If your college experience seems shitty, think of me and all the stuff I've had to go through.

Yeah, except Kelley students don't struggle to find jobs, their job placement is 95-100%. I think you mean students at big universities that major in unpractical things, ie history and culture of pottery.
