Am I going home too much?
Hey.
I'm at uni at the minute, in my first year. My social skills are fairly poor but have been improving lately and I have had a little bit of abuse from people at student accommodation.
I have Wednesday's free and I start at 2 on Thursdays and I'm tempted to go home today, just because I miss my parents even though I've only got back on Sunday. I live just over 1hr away so it's not too bad.
I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about those who go home a lot, and whether anyone has experience being in my shoes.

Personally, I've always lived too far from home to be able to pop back - as you do. My experience of others just going home often is that they don't seem to settle in. They see the day off as a chance to socialise at home opposed to socialise in halls.
What kinds of abuse do you feel that you've had from people in accommodation?

I got egged one time, my bedroom door personally and there's stain on my floor to remind me of that.
I'm also extremely paranoid about everything BC I've never had much luck making friends. The fact that I'm not in any of the big group chats for my accommodation (where people use it to organise social events) means I was left out for most of last term.

it made be a good idea to join some of those Facebook chats to get to know people better.
Honestly staying at home sucks as you don't get the opportunity of getting and being with other students outside of lecture time.
But then again I don't know what hall life is like? Does sound rough that your getting egged and all that..

If you do try and get involved with those group chats then try to laugh it off. I know that it totally wasn't okay and has made you feel very isolated - but if you don't make a thing of it then people are more likely to want to chat.
I went out with one halls block the first semester and then found completely new friends in the second semester, so I made tons of new ones!
Sorry to hear about the bullying though, hopefully that kind of thing is in the past?
Ignore those students. You can never go home too much, besides its better than p****** away your student loan on 2/3 nights out over the weekend. Personally I go home for football once every 2 weeks and so I will miss like 2-3 weekends this upcoming term when the term is only 6 weeks! Others I know have part time jobs which they have to go back home to do on the weekend. Ultimately you should do your own thing at uni and not buckle to peer pressure as you are at uni to get your degree and yes, whilst you can have fun, it should be your own choice when you decide to and not because your flatmates are giving you hassle.
