depressed from leaving uni

This is going to sound really weird, but uni is going to finish in literally 9 and a half weeks from now and I’m feeling really depressed.
The thing is that I have REALLY enjoyed uni because I never used to go out when I was at home and I didn’t really have many close friends that I used to hang around with like I now have at uni. I’m really enjoying this new “life” because I am doing things I never used to do and enjoying it more than I could even imagine. I am enjoying my course; I have great housemates and brilliant course mates. No problems whatsoever.
When I finish uni in a couple of weeks, I’m going to back home where I’ll be just stuck doing nothing. I think the real reason I like uni so much is that I have a few family issues and living out in uni has given me an “escape” from the issues at home (home issues isn’t direct issues like parents divorcing or anything).

Anybody have anything I could do to get me through the 4 months in the summer until uni starts again this September?

Essentially, I'm in the same situation as you, and I'm looking for a summer job in my uni town. In the meantime, I'm saving up as much as possible cause I doubt a summer job alone can support me over summer. Even if you end up being at home, try getting a job that'll keep you busy most of the day. Then with the money you earn, you can buy train tickets to go travelling with your friends from uni or something. :smile:

We all feel the same, I mean even though there are lots of sleepless nights, the fun you have with your mates are priceless... plus the experience of being away from home. Cuz I imagine that when you start working it never gonna be the same... Ahh well, just try to maximise the amount of things you do while still here. Summer anyway I need to get a part time job and that should occupy me along with other activities ill try going into. At least i got siblings which I consider as one of my best mates lol...

Uni life...
