Is anyone else feeling upset about leaving home?

yeah, i'm going to miss my family loads.

the worst thing is my cat, i'll give her a goodbye cuddle on saturday morning and she'll expect me back at the end of the day like i normally am, but i won't be coming back for 12 weeks :frown:

I'm so glad it's not just me! I'm just worried about my flatmates not being understanding or whatever :frown:

Said goodbye to my grandparents today and I cried a little bit then so I know it's going to be really really hard to say goodbye to my mum and dad :frown:

No. XD

But I have sympathy, I'll be the one coming into your room with a cup of tea and trying to make you feel better. :h:

Nah I'm not upset at all really. I'm so, so excited. My mum's upset though. I suppose because I'm only an hour and a half away on the train it's not really a big deal at all to me. I know I'll see them and I know I'll talk to them so I'm not that fussed. But also one of my best friends is in the same halls as me and I know a few people going to the same uni, so I expect these factors are helping a lot.

My mum is secretly really upset which is making it worse :frown:

Nope, can't wait to leave. Whilst I've appreciated the roofs under my head for many years, I've been waiting ages to just leave and be more independent. My family just argue with each other all the time, so dramatic and can't wait to just escape it all.

See I feel like I should be feeling a little bit like you and I was for a while, until the whole "oh ****, I'm actually going to university" thing kicked in. My home life's been pretty **** for the last year but I'm gonna miss home so much, it doesn't make sense.

i just feel upset that i am NOT moving out...

No

Almost everyone feels like this at points. Some before they move out, some when they are there. I cried twice before (once on my first friend who left's final night here, once on my last night, both times with a group of friends). Also I cried a few times when I got there, on odd nights where I'd feel really homesick! But then the rest of the time I'd be having so much fun, so it's still well worth it. And after a while you get really used to it, it's not like you can't visit often!

Im excited to leave and live on my own, but I will miss my family, my bro especially. My parents have supported me in all my choices in life, and im eternally grateful for my upbringing and how I've turned out so far. My brother is my Xbox Live buddy and general friend. It's gonna be weird without all the banter and nerdy 'Boom! Pwned!' comments he comes out with. But I suppose I've got to fend for myself sometime. I'm sounding more and more like a pussy by the second so I'll leave it at that.
