Student Life: How To Deal With Missing Your Friends At Home

I miss my friends at home - what can I do?

When you leave home, it's natural that you're going to miss your friends. You really have to remember that when you're at university, everyone's in the same boat, and you can meet lots of new ones who are feeling exactly the same way as you. There's plenty of ways to keep in touch with your friends from home.You can keep in touch via MySpace and Facebook, or you can sign up to Messenger or Skype, so you can actually talk to them every day. The other thing to do would be get your friends to make you a CD before you go, of all the songs that remind you of home. When you're feeling a bit miserable, you can put it on and it will make you smile. If you're really suffering at university, get your friends to come up and visit you for the weekend, and they can meet your new friends, who can see what a great person you really are.
