I need my own space!
I never thought I would ever say this but I'm a little bit homesick. College has been fun and all but certain little things are reminders that my dorm is not exactly "home" for me. It's not the same when I'm sick, sad, angry and just want to be alone in my room. Most of the time my roommate is there and I don't want her to see me freak out but there is nowhere else to go besides the lobby. That's a problem because there are even more people in there, so that wouldn't work. I just need more private time, especially when I'm feeling upset. Here on campus there is basically no such thing as privacy! Back at my house in San Antonio, I go to my room and sleep, blast music or sometimes talk on the phone to get my mind off of things. My family automatically knows to leave me alone when I just want to be left alone too. It's a completely different story with my peers. They want to know what is bothering me right then and there but most of the time I don't even feel like talking. I just need "me" time and that's rare being here on campus. I miss being at home and it makes me feel like a child, almost. I'm supposed to be getting used to being away from home but it is so hard sometimes!
