Back to uni blues
Anyone else finding it hard to settle back into uni this term?
I've been really happy here over the last two terms, but since coming back I can't help feeling really down. I had a great time over Easter with friends and family, and I didn't want to leave. I'm missing people from home like crazy, and it seems so lonely here sitting in my room whilst everybody's revising (I do have work to do but no actual exams to sit, and I've totally lost interest in the work). As well as being homesick, I'm also disillusioned about this being the last term of my 1st year - which hasn't been nearly as full of fun and friendship as I thought it would be.
I'm trying to throw myself into things, but there doesn't seem to be much going on around the uni in general as exam period gets nearer. I feel so low and all I really want to do right now is go home and enjoy a nice summer's evening with the friends and family that I'm missing so much. This is quite uncharacteristic of me and I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same. Maybe I've just realised how good I had it living at home, but I can't seem to settle back in here.

I know hat you mean uni's cool but you just cant replce your freinds youve known for years and get on so well with. for me the whole uni things been an anti climax it hasnt been awfull just average
Back to uni Blues?
We have been back nearly three weeks now and exams start on Monday 25/04/05.
I am actually feeling quite down at the prospect of my first year being over in...wait for it...(checks wallchart) 24 days.
Where have the last 9 months gone? It only seems like a few weeks ago we were all meeting loads of new people and learning a new routine.

Kinda know what you mean. It is exams this term, and all revision is starting soon.
However, I like being back with ppl and having a much better time than I did at home.

I'm the opposite.. I'm incredibly happy to be back.
It's good that you're trying to throw yourself into things.. seeing as nothing's going on then maybe you could organise working/study sessions with your friends? I had a lovely time drinking coffee in Starbucks today with three of my friends and revising at the same time, and I found it to be a great way to see my friends and socialise at the same time as getting work done

I never left - was here throughout Easter. Most of Christmas too, in fact. And I can't wait to leave.

I can't wait leave none stop partying and delboying around for little bits of cash until I actually face up to reality that I need to get a proper job.

Dazednconfused, I am currently feeling exactly the same. Not normally a depressive person but over the holls had serious dread of returning to uni. Have always been really happy here (edinburgh) and going home (london) has always been v weird and not partic enjoyable. But over Easter I was happy and felt so at home. Now I'm back my mood is fluctuating crazily, but general gist is 'I don't want to be here'. Irrational as there is nothing specific wrong.
Was just curious as to what you decided in the end?

Whenever you get depressed simply realise that the alternative is working 9 hours a day 5 days a week in a call centre or stacking shelves in a supermarket and realise how lucky you are.

I disagree. that's not the point. You have to do what makes you happy. And if everyone went to uni simply as alternative to work (which most do already) uni would be even more valueless. 9 to 5 jobs aren't the only ones out there. Although to get the ones that aren't, a degree normally helps I guess.
