I left Germany recently (Where my parents are posted, I'm Canadian, and a Girl) To move to Ottawa Ontario for college.

My parents came with me so I could get settled in, which was great. I was having a great time before school started, we were visiting people, and getting things for school, finding a place to live.

School started last tuesday, and my parents left wednesday, and I have cried almost everynight. I feel so horrible. I want to go home so bad. My classes are fine, I like them and everything, it's when I'm walking to school, and when I'm "Home" at night that it hurts the most.

I'm crying so much that I'm actually sick. I can't eat anything. People keep telling me that I'll get over it, it'll be better later, but I really don't think so. It's just as bad as it was the first night I was here alone.

I can't even eat anything. I e-mailed my mom and told her and she said what everyone said. I'll get over it.

I really really want to go home. I miss them so much!

OK, the thing is its ok to be a little homesick and heck most college students still get to go home for holidays, convince your folks to let you come home for holidays so you can go there be with your family and maybe take some stuff back from your home with you. I am also not a big person on telling people they will get over it because sometimes they dont, what you are experiencing though is debilitating and I think that you should seek to keep in touch with your family as much as you can and try to make where you are now like your second home. Fill your new environment with friends, and fun and perhaps soon you wont have to feel so bad anymore.

Eventually you'll get into a rhythm and everything will be fine

As "everyone" else has said, you WILL get over it. Everyone who moves to university has to get used to it. Just... do things - join clubs, get a job, etc.

I go out during the day, and on the weekends, but it doesn't matter, I still feel bad.
I just wish mom would let me come home.

Just write to your friends often, and that's a good way to catch up with what's going on... are you planning on living with your parents for the rest of your life? You're going to need to get over it eventually...

It takes a while to get used to a change like that. Completely new surroundings and people, it's a bit of a shock to the system. It'll be better eventually.

Your home sick. Just try having some fun and not thinking about your parents. Meet new people.
