This is supposed to be an adventure?

Jan 07, 2008 19:37

I'm in Clemson now, as of Friday. And I'm homesick as hell. I don't know what I'm doing here, all I want is to go home. I miss my family, my friends, my Jonny. I am homesick for the first time in my life, at 24, and I have no idea how to deal with it. Everyone tells me to give it a few weeks, things will get better. I'm trying to, I really am ( Read more... )

Oh, Suck it up! Remember your Fresh year at St. Vincent? With the exception of maybe a few more friends, you were in a similar boat.

Now, here's whatcha do. First of, make some bloody friends. Talk to people in class, see if you can't join up with a vocal group, find an extra-curricular. Yes, I know all the hoop-la about Grad Students not having time, but I also know a LOT of grad students at State who are currently still doing Marching Band! Also, don't forget Birma! For pity's sake, make a lunch date!

If all else fails, weekend roadtrip to Raleigh!

Point blank, GET OFF YER KIESTER AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

SVC was a little different i think, being that i was 30 MINUTES FROM HOME! and knew people there already, and lived in a DORM!

Yes I'm trying to just suck it up. I'd like to take a trip to Raleigh sometime. And I really really really would LOVE to find a vocal group to join or even the marching band (if I'm allowed to), I just need to figure out what my schedule of research will be like before I commit to anything.

so :-P

Well, I figured someone would hit ya with it. Plus, I'm a bit more sympathetic with my "Mother Lectures" than Dave or similar. So, I figured I'd fill the void.

What, I can't be sympathetic?

Also... "Dave or similar?" Seriously, who is similar (or would WANT to be)? :P

i'm glad you are becoming a southerner! we will convert you soon :p

I don't blame you for being homesick, I know there is no immediate cure (though obviously you got lots of tips from Aaron). Once you get into your grove it will be easier (and then you will be too busy for the rest of us!)

You're gonna be ok Jen... I know this is the first time you've really been away from Pgh but I'm sure you're going to adjust soon. I hope that you can find a vocal/band group or something to hang out with. Maybe you could get involved with a church choir. I did a quick Google search & you might want to check out St. Andrew's... http://parishwebsite.tripod.com/ If not a choir, you might be able to get involved in some volunteer work through the church and meet people through that ( ... )
