Re: WTF? I\'m Really Homesick?
First and foremost, everybody is different...don't expect that what you read here will apply directly to you.
Secondly, for me...
I went home my first year for Thanksgiving, and every year for Christmas. Me being who I am, I cannot stand the thought of not being near my family over Christmas.
Thanksgiving, though, after the first year, I never wanted to go home again, have the rush rush trip, etc.
The homesickness WILL go away. Even though you have friends down in LA, your life isn't used to being in LA. Soon, that will change. Your life will be in LA, and the homesickness will subside.
For me, it was about 6-8 months. For some, it may be 2 or 3 years.
Good luck,
Josh
