No Homesickness Here

This year, I am pleasantly surprised that I haven’t been very homesick.

I miss the people at home—my mom, my dad, my best friend—but I don’t really miss being at home. This summer was interesting. I was bored a lot. I really don’t have much going on at home anymore. My life is here now (as much as my mom doesn’t want to hear that).

This year has been a great one already. I’m really enjoying living on my own. However, sometimes it’s a little, well, lonely. My group of friends used to live in my building last year. So because all of us were extremely lazy, this worked out well. But now that they all live together in another building, I don’t see them nearly as much. I’m not really involved in their plans and most of the time they don’t make a huge effort to come visit me.

On the bright side, I’ve gotten closer to the RAs on my staff. We’re on the same schedule and do live in the same building. Weird how that works out. Anyway, I feel so comfortable as an RA. Like this is what I’m meant to do. I love my hallway, my building, and my staff. It’s a great atmosphere.
