After fresher’s week is over and everything settles down, you have more time to miss home. I’m a massive home-bird, so living away is a bit of a struggle. Although I learnt some things last year that could help others who are struggling with being homesick.

1. Make your room homely – You’re never going to feel comfortable in a room that isn’t yours, so decorate and make it cosy. Put fairy lights everywhere, invest in blankets and pillows (good bedding is always underappreciated). Print off photos of family and friends and put them around your room so you’re reminded that they’re not too far away. A warm and inviting room will make you feel so much better on those lonely nights.

2. Cook your favourite meal – Ring your mum and ask for the recipe to your favourite home cooked meal and make it for yourself or have a flat/house dinner. It might be that you just need a Sunday roast to make you feel better.

3. Distract yourself – You can’t miss home if you don’t have the time to! Go to the gym, take a walk, and go out for a meal with your friends. Anything to take your mind of it and get yourself out of the dumps. You could even do some uni work if it gets that bad...

And don’t forget that your family and friends are just a call or facetime away, and it’s only a couple of weeks until reading week when you'll be reunited. Chin up!
