On August 13, 2016 i moved into my freshman dorm room. The second i pushed through the door, my stomach dropped. I instantly knew something was off, and i had made a mistake about my college decision, but i suppressed that feeling assuming it was normal. Only it wasn't normal, i should have been enjoying my college experience but i wasn't. I kept telling myself it was just homesickness and eventually i would adjust and get into the swing of things. That didn't happen, instead I (holed) myself up in my dorm room day in and day out, focusing (solely) on my schoolwork, never having any fun. I felt like i needed to distract myself with something so i would forget where i was. Finally i decided that this university isn't supposed to be my home.
