I was sad to leave, but I didn't want to cry, so I held it back. I came to school a week early to rush, so a lot of us have been hear a week longer than everyone, and the few weeks have felt like forever. I don't really call or talk to anyone from home because I figure they would call me first, and I have had more than enough homework. My suitemate has been so lonely, and she cried every night to her mom for the first week. My other suitemate was fine, but just recently has started to state things like she wants to move back home and go to community college, and get married. My roommate LOVES being here, she is the type that counted down the days of college freedom since like freshman year of high school because she was never allowed to go out and stuff. Her mother misses her so much though, and calls her all of the time. The phone is glued to her ear, and she talks to people from home like 20+ times a day, she even had them come and visit us last night, and the phone has rung 4 times since 7am this morning.
We all went home over Labor Day, and I found out that my mom put my dog to sleep a few days after I left and never bothered to tell me "because she didn't want me to be sad at college" after that, I wanted to come back to college because I was mad, but we are okay now. My one suitemate, who was okay at first, had her wants of going to a community college reaffirmed when she went back home, and still wants to, because of a guy...
My two suitemates and I went through rush, and that helped SO much in meeting people and getting to know the campus before school began. We have friends from our RC groups that we hang with. My roommate didn't rush, and now wishes she would at least have went through the process, if even just to meet people.
While I was homesick at first, I also kinda was collegesick when I was at home after a few days...
