Stay far away from my family

Can't you make the trip? You said you have 8 days, wouldn't there be enough time for you to travel even if home is far? Anyway, should travelling is really impossible at the moment, you can call them or skype with them just to ease up your loneliness. Hang out with some of your school buddies who also decided to stay in campus.

Nobody can stay with their parents forever.Everyone need to face their future by themselves.Parents can't do everything for us.What's more,be more independent is quite a good thing for our development.In addition,be far away from home can make us mature quickly than them who live with their parents.

in a way its good ,choosing career and absolutely you can work on it effectively for sure and it helps you to be stable

spend time here in MyLOT where you can earn and enjoy reading many discussions. If your mom is sick I advice you to go home and grab the opportunity to be with her even just for a day.. Indeed, Home is the warmest place to be and the only place where you feel safe :)

Being away from family is really hard. it takes a lot of courage living alone to unfamiliar place with new faces of people. i understand what you felt right now. I've been in the same situation too.To reduce boredom,sadness,and ill feeling of home sickness I worked during my free time. I joined community organization. I unwind with my friends and classmates. I am independent so I easily coped up with the new environment. I hope you could cope up too!Just enjoy your study and gain friends there. Good friends i hope. I wish you luck!

Too bad for you my friend. I have also my brother who wants to enroll in the city where I'm living right now.He was very pleased to stay with me. I said there are lots of disadvantage when he will enroll in far school from our home. One disadvantage is, he will miss to see our parents and siblings except me of course because we will be together if I'll accept his wish to live with me.Second,his lifestyle also will be change and the city will change him.

Aww how sad that your family is so far away that you cannot go home to see them over this break. I know here for the holidays you have to be off campus you cannot stay no matter if you have no where else to go so sometimes college kids have to go stay with a friends family.

well you could mylot your time away, you earn while you enjoy... go and read a book too.

Home is still the best place in the world. No matter how poor the abode is, but home is always home. It is our heaven on earth.

welcome to mylot Here most of the families are combined families, where you can find 3 to 4 generations live in same house together peacefully home is always a sweet home, next time you should stay with your mom

Maybe you will learn something from this experience. You need to spend some quality time with your family my friend. It is where your relationship with them gets better. So do not be selfish and take time to realize how important they are to you and how they took good care of you when you were still young.

As a student, I too felt it would have been good for me to study somewhere far away from home. But I was always close to my home and had the chance to take care of my parents whenever they were unwell. I used to feel sorry for my close friends who were far away from their homes and were living in the hostel. But in my opinion even if you stay away from your home, it is good to visit your parents whenever you get a chance. As a parent now, I understand what the so-called 'empty-nest syndrome' is all about. It can be really hard for parents when they don't see their children for a very long time. So what if their children are in their early twenties. Now I can relate well to my mother's anxiety whenever I would reach home late. You realize such things only when you become a parent.

oh my god!
