Hey everyone!
Apparently most people who drop out of university do so after the Christmas break. There's something about going back in the cold winter month of January after a few weeks of festivities and family time that is difficult.
I remember that last year, I was in tears when I went back, not because I didn't like uni but simply because it suddenly felt like I had never truly left home.
This year, it was a lot easier for me - maybe because I remembered how, after a week or so back at uni, I was completely fine again.
For me, the worst thing about going back after a break at home is to actually leave.
Arriving is okay, and so is staying. Honestly, if there was a way of just teleporting myself to and from uni, that would solve so many problems haha!
I guess it's really all just part of growing up. I also think that especially in first year, not many people talk about feeling sad after Christmas. At least from my experience, people were still a bit too worried about settling in and finding a group of good friends to be completely honest about how they are feeling. As time goes on, this changes though and everyone is generally more open and honest.
Have a lovely day. If you just got back to uni (like me), then try to distract yourself from feeling a bit homesick in your first week. Even if there isn't much going on at uni, try to (Warning: this will sound lame) enjoy going to your lessons. It will definitely make you concentrate on other things :)
