After receiving calls and texts from friends and family I realized how much I missed being around them and how much I wish I could spend the day in their company. Since then, however, I’ve been doing a lot better. How did I overcome homesickness? The best way to adjust to a new place is to stay occupied, so I started to occupy myself with things to do! If you are ever homesick, find an activity, make a friend, attend an event or just walk around your neighborhood exploring new things. The newness of your environment will help your mind forget about feeling alone or homesick.
