I'm alone all Easter break, what to do?

Aww you poor thing, have you asked any mates whether you can crash at theirs over the holidays?

Yeah but to be honest why would their parents want me in their homes, I'm not their responsibility. I literally have no-one.

i never go home for easter, last year i managed to pop home for a weekend, but purely because i needed to get away.

i found in first year there was always people around my campus, and even some people popping in and out of my halls, so i was not alone.
could you ask old school friends if they want to come and visit you maybe and stay for a few days? just to break up the time.

you will find ways to fill your time, and if you have essays and revision to complete that will help. maybe skype a few people over easter?

I will try, but to be honest I would still feel like an unecessary burden. I'm trying to be strong but this is my first Easter without my mummy.

you wont be a burden, if their your friends theyll happily come and visit, and spend time in your new city with you!

you will get through it. i know its difficult, but you have to fill your time with fun things.
such as watching nice films, eating nice food, pampering yourself a bit.
spread these things out with your work, and skyping and what not and it will get easier

Just stay in your uni halls and focus on your studies.

I don't skype because I need a new laptop.

What if I'm not able to stay with my friends and they can't come and see me? The thought of being alone in halls with my thoughts is driving me insane.

Don't sensible people generally watch nice films and eat nice food anyway? I know I prefer to eat food that I like and if I'm gonna watch something for an hour or two I do prefer to enjoy it.

Plenty of people, myself included, would love to have a few weeks alone. You make this sound like some terrible thing when it should be something that anyone could cope with.

And if you really do get super lonely, do what I did last Easter when everyone in the house was away, go and meet new people. A similarly simple task.


And how is it harder to study when alone than with people? Does not compute. People = distractions.

When you don't have any parents to support you, and a small family that doesn't even live with you, yes you feel incredibly alone especially when you've lost the most important person in your life.

I understand if you're around people all the time, especially if you have a large family, you'd want sometime to yourself.

I am going through a lot and although I'm trying to be strong its still very ****ing hard. So for me, being alone all Easter is not something I would enjoy.

You're not gonna be anyone's responsibility, don't worry about that Just ask if you could come over for a couple of days. Given the circumstances regarding your mother, I'm sure they'd understand. And even without that, I've always had mates from uni stay over at my home for a couple of nights and visa versa, just to see their home life.

Just think about it the other way. I'm sure if friends wanted to stay round yours for a couple of nights, you wouldn't feel that they're being too much or drowning you in responsibility. Just make sure you know and they know that you will be leaving on a certain day and you don't overstay your welcome.

If you still feel bad about staying, you can always take the whole family out for lunch/dinner at the end of your stay as a thank you
