coping with homesickness

I suffered so much from homesickness when I moved thousands of miles from my family 12 years ago. I cried all the time at first and wanted to go back home. But gradually I got accustomed to my new environment by getting involved in all sorts of activities and started to enjoy.

doesn't exist in my dictionary...

Try spending most of the times with friends. Being isolated makes you homesick

First time I left my family and came to USA for school, I got homesick called my parents in Japan everyday even though it was my decision to come to USA to study. Few weeks later, I realized that I am getting busy with my friends and with school, and I didnt have a time to cry. If you find a friends and have time to do something different everyday, that will help out. I had few Japanese student in my high school so that helped too.

do something which interests you. crosstitching, watch movies, read a book, write a poem, write a friend, surf the net. it's natural to miss people. but if it's for the greater good, then, it's nice of you to risk being away from family and friends. you;ll soon get used to the situation. difficult at first, but with enough "will", you'll get going!
