Dealing with Homesickness

I absolutely love where I am and have always dreamed of being in a small town and being independent... but I, like most people, get super homesick! I am very close with my family and people think I am absolutely c r a z y for moving so far away.. which I definitely am. Have you seen how cute my baby brothers are? And the amazing parties my mom throws? Ugh! I am having one of those nights where I am so homesick and would just love to be home, even if my parents are in bed doing nothing by 8pm (which is probably the case tonight, like most nights) I could still walk a couple paces to their room and bother them and get the babies all hyped up causing a ruckus if I wanted to! There really is nothing that can compare! So when I first came to college, I fell in love with Ohio and Wittenberg, but I had nights like these almost every night still. The way I started to feel more at home was to turn on Disney Junior every morning and keep it on even if Im not watching it, just to listen. It sounds so silly and corny but it really made me feel happy and more at home because it was on ALLLLL day at my house when the babies were actually babies and not the little boys they have so sadly grown into so fast!  This could be a reason my freshman year roommate transferred schools.. but none the less it made me feel better :)  Thank goodness Sophia the First and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse are on Netflix because now I can put it on when I'm feeling homesick at 9pm!! And I actually really like the shows l o l. I love Sophia the first and find myself singing with the octonauts at times lol but it makes me feel so at home and it is so much better than looking through old photos and videos listening to taylor swift like I am mourning an ex lover (which Ill admit I also find myself doing sometimes) How do you deal with being homesick and what are some ways you can easily bring your family into your dorm room or tiny apartment?? Thanks for reading my random thoughts and missing my family with me.. Until next random thought. - JC21
