A
A year back I received a full scholarship to attend the University of San Francisco. All of my hard work had paid off. It's a milestone for me. My mom had spent a lot in my attending a private high school, so I made sure to push myself: I volunteered, got involved in varied clubs, and graduated with honors. I was so excited to start a new chapter in my life. I had totally packed two weeks before I was away from home.
Soon enough, the big day came, but it wasn't like what I had thought. The first two weeks were the most difficult days of my entire life. Every night I would cry myself to sleep. I was so homesick and I didn't know how to deal with my broken heart. To distract_myself,_I threw myself into my studies and I applied for a ton of jobs. In any remaining free time, I started forcing myself to the gym. I wanted to keep every part of my day busy so I wouldn't think how lonely I was.
Soon after, I began to limit food, and then I became worse. Finally, I went to see a doctor. When the doctor weighed me, I was crazy about the number of my weight. So I began to lower my goal, and convinced myself that controlling this number was the solution to my homesickness. But when I was told that I had no choice but to spend time on my studies, I quickly started recovery in my mind.
How could I do? I told myself that school was what I was best at. I decided to get rid of my homesickness and took exercise actively. My first term of college had passed by at last and I had gotten straight A's. That's why I want to share my story — to help other students feel less lonely.
