1)
Decorate your new
space: Find ideas
online or in magazines to decorate your new space and make it feel like a home. If you aren’t into decorating, buy
a poster of your favorite band and hang it up, you would be surprised at the
difference it makes.
2)
Spend time on campus: Get to know your new surroundings so
you feel comfortable with them, and spend your weekends on campus instead of
going home every weekend. It will help you feel more at home here and miss home
less and less.
3)
Surround yourself with
people you like to spend time with: MAKE NEW FRIENDS. That doesn’t mean you have to ignore your
ones at home but if you find new friends you will feel more comfortable and
less likely to be homesick. Plus, if you do get homesick, you will have people
there to make you feel better!
4)
Expose yourself to new
things: TRY NEW
THINGS! If you think you will like it, try it! You have NOTHING to lose, so go
for it! It will also introduce you to more people so this large
campus feels small when you walk around and see people you already know!
5)
Make your own
decisions: This is
your first chance to be out on your own so make your experience unique. Take
responsibility and make decisions so that when you accomplish things you know
that you get all the credit. Nothing feels better than being able to call home
and tell your parents that you made a decision yourself and followed it through
to completion!
