I totally agree with Amber, going off to college was also a huge change for me, along with everybody else. Being here for only a month, I also feel like I’ve been here forever! The first two weeks I was here, I was extremely homesick. I called my dad everyday begging for him to let me come home. He told me it will eventually get better, it just takes time. I didn’t believe him until two weeks went by, I finally started to adapt to the change. Now I thank my dad for not letting me come home and to give it a chance. I know that if I went home I would have regretted it.
The first day of classes I met a group of girls who seemed to be just like me. The nine of us get along perfectly and I feel like I’m at home. One of them being my roommate. Leaving my best friends was very difficult for me to do. We’ve all been best friends since fifth grade. Meeting these girls made it a lot easier for me to get my mind off of all that was going on. I live in complex B, Stevens. I also thought that I wouldn’t fit in and get along with the girls on my floor. After I met them I realized I was wrong. There are ten really nice girls that live on my side of the floor. We all seem to have a lot of common interests. Although we have many differences, that’s what makes us all get along. Even though we don’t all hangout a lot, it’s always good to change the scenery in one another’s room. We have fun together when we are just hanging out, eating till we get sick, or just watching a movie together. I feel like I’m at home when I’m in my friend’s rooms.
Living with a roommate and nine other girls was also a big change for me, but also a lot of fun. I grew up with a brother and always wanted to feel what it was like to have a sister. I never knew what it was like, and now I feel like I have ten. Living with these girls makes me feel like I have a bunch of sisters. It is very different sharing a room with another person. My whole life I’ve had my own room and had no rules. Now that I share a room with another girl not all the decisions are up to me. At first this was kind of difficult to adapt to the change. But now it’s a lot of fun. Of course there are times where we don’t both agree about particular stuff, but that’s normal. My roommate and I became very close over these past couple of weeks. We go out every night together with the rest of our friends. Sharing clothes and doing each other’s hair and makeup is very enjoyable for me. It’s like having a sister I’ve always wanted. When I get back from classes I also find at least one door open with people in the room doing something. This makes me feel at home and is a lot more comforting. This helps a lot in times like being stressed out and homesick. We also share some differences as well as everybody else. I agree that differences are good; it makes everything more interesting and fun.
Being in college for only a month, I already feel like I’ve grown up a lot. Having such great friends makes everything easier and takes my mind off all the bad. I’ve learned a lot about living with someone else and how to deal with certain situations. Even though at times I get frustrated along with everybody else, in the end everything always works out. At times I get homesick and stressed, I know that everything will eventually get better, it only takes time.
