Listen! Having homesickness is a nature of human being, so everybody gets into the same situation when one moves from one's accustomed place. It, then, gives you a chance to realize how much those missing things mean to yourself and how valuable they are.

Well, some of you have an ease to go over it, but for the rest of you, it is not so easy. Some even suffer from health problems of unknown origin, such as migraine headaches, insomnia, emotional unstability, etc. If you know the cause of your sickness is psychological, you can take a better action to cure it (not to see a medical doctor to cure physical problems, you know).

Meet your friends, try to make many more new friends every day, have time to talk with them. When we are stuck to our self-problems, exchanging different views often helps us. Two heads are better than one.
