Hey ppl. I’m really bummed out right now. I’m away at university (in another country, that is) and I really miss my family. I’m staying at some relatives but they are not close relatives. I’m also commuting to my university which isolates me in a way from the rest of the student population so I haven’t quite found my niche. I get to talk to my family every night on skype (we are really close knit) but I’m still extremely homesick. I miss my best friend and my cousin and especially my mom. How can I get over the homesickness and try to make more friends? All the cool people that are like me that I have met so far aren’t taking my classes or are only taking one or two of them so I don’t get to see them often. Its also hard to break into social circles that are already established and not many foreigners come to this university. HELP!
