Here is my situation, From Sept 2010, I moved away from home to a different city to start university. It's not like I had no intention of going. It's the fact that I don’t think I thought it through enough, but given the short time I had to decide. It was what I wanted. I did imagine staying at home and travelling to and from uni, but my options got limited and left me with either move away to uni or wait a year and try to get into the one closer to home then. It came as a bit of a shock to my family and friends but they where all pleased for me, which made it all better, some where even congratulating me for ‘getting out’ of my home town and doing something good.
It’s been nearly 4 months now, I’ve got to know a lot of people and new friend’s as you’d expect. The course is good and lecturers are friendly. I believe now that I may be experience a bit of homesickness, as I do start to miss all the usual stuff I use to do. Obviously now I can’t, in uni 5 days a week if I do go home its only for a maximum of 2 days which I don’t think is enough.
What else do I need?
Well that’s where the problem lies. I’ve not been home sick once (till now) as I have noticed others around have been and even left due to it. I enjoy “most” of my life here. It’s just that I keep thinking now, just recently “do I really want to be here?” the answer for this I cannot give myself. I don’t know why.
It’s like one of those roads down life’s path that you take and are unsure of the journey but you take it anyway because you know what it leads to for you. I can say that I’m in the uncertainty area of this particular of mine.
Before the journey starts you know there are another few roads but at the same time know that these other roads won’t ever take you where the other unique one can. With these seemingly less significant roads you think (I think I might just be happier jumping off the road I’m on and cruising down one of these instead).
I am terribly considering just getting up and walking away back home to my old life. I know that this kind of thing is like a once in a lifetime opportunity
BUT!!!.
I need some guidance on what to. I don’t know who to talk to about it. It’s not in my strong suit to open up to people about this type of thing. MY family and friends back home are led to believe that everything is OK and going well. I don’t want to disappoint anyone. I can’t say that I haven’t thought of a get out plan, as I have. But it’s not something I would put anyone through. So that option is out the window. (I’m not crazy, I just do a lot of free thinking) If you understood what I have said, thank you.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this, I’m not looking for someone to give me THE answer of what to do, just if anyone has been in this type of situation before and how they dealt with it.
Thank you.
