You have not been away from home much and now you
are heading off to college. The following are
some ideas, tricks, and tips and ways to cure
yourself, just in case you are feeling homesick.
Call Home
Calling and talking to whom ever you miss the
most will make you feel good inside. Hearing actual
words and realizing that you are missed as well,
does make you feel wanted and more confident
about yourself while you have to be away from
home.
Sending E-mails
This allows yourself to express your need to let someone know you care. It releases stress within you, alleviating some stress about being away from home.
Have your local newspaper delivered to your dorm room/mailbox at the college. You will be able to read about all the happenings in your hometown, and keep up on current events.
Go
home once a month for the first five or six months—just
over night or on the weekends. You will slowly
notice that nothing much will change while you
are away at school, and you may even notice that
you feel more at home 'away' at Wright State as
you make friends and new acquaintances.
Students that get homesick will generally feel better as time goes on, and as your schedule gets more hectic, you will wish for home as a stress relief!
