writes:I feel like i'm being silly letting myself get upset and affected by this, it's inevitable and I know it's not the end of this road for this. But i'm still sad and don't know how to think positively about it and just accept it...I'm in my second year of university and I thought going home for summer would be something I'd really look forward to and honestly, for the past few months i've been excited for it to get to the time of when we all leave and go home for summer. Because then I know I'll be going on holiday, travelling and seeing my home friends and family for the next 3 months. But now, it's the last week of my second year at university and it makes me sad to think that I wont be living in these halls again, I won't see my friends from university for 3 months since we all live too far away and are all busy this summer anyways. And the fact I'll be away from this city for so long, I know I can come back for a week if I want to. But it's not the same as it is during university time and the memories here are amazing. Point is, I'm not devastated or seriously upset, I just feel a bit emotional and sad about leaving. Which really is silly because I'll be back in 3 months and I have a great summer of travelling, events, festivals! It's just a really packed summer and my home friends and my family are amazing people! So it's not as if I have something bad to go home to, or nothing to look forward to...So what I'm trying to figure out is, why I am I feeling this sad about going home and leaving this place, I wasn't sad when I went home in first year at all but this year I feel like it's really gotten me down and I want to figure out why that is, what's so different and what is it that i'm missing?

You've had the time of your life with some amazing people, and associate that with your environment ( the uni) - your feelings also probably arent as irrational as you think, because sad as it is you're a year away from the ultimate end of this important era- at the back of your mind you know this. it will obviously be a bit devastating but talk to your friends family about your feelings now, wear your heart on your sleeve for the time being and just try and embrace all the joy of now :) until that time comes- you have another sweet year to savour :) When I went to the Isle of Wight for a school holiday for a week, I was incredibly homesick - I have no idea why the change of surroundings was so overwhelming, but it was. I literally cried throughout- I was 13 but I was the ONLY one haha... :/ I've learnt that I'm a very emotional person- but you are who you are, and the important people in life will love you for you! :) get out there!! :)
