Ask Olivia
| I'm embarrassed about this, but I've never spent a lot of time away from home. I'm scared about being so far away my first year of college! What should I do? |

| Dear Already Homesick, |
| Being away from home for the first time can be scary, but everyone else at your school will be in the same situation. You needn't be embarrassed! I'm sure your parents will be missing you a lot too and would love for you to give them a call whenever you can. I would recommend participating in a lot of activities and organizations that interest you on campus. You'll end up having a lot of fun and meeting lots of great new people. I think the best cure for homesickness is staying involved and keeping busy. Soon you'll find that the fun you are having and your new friends will help you feel like you have a home away from home. Just make sure you remember to save time for schoolwork as well! |
