Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
Even though I haven't been in your shoes yet, it sounds completely exhausting to juggle missing home while stressing over money at the same time, so please be gentle with yourself while you adjust. For the homesickness, try setting a fixed daily time to call or video chat with your family—knowing that check-in is guaranteed gives you something steady to look forward to, and bringing small familiar things into your room can make your new space feel safer. For the finances, sit down and divide whatever money you have left after essential bills into a strict weekly limit so you aren't constantly guessing if you can afford something, and don't be afraid to suggest cheap hangouts like walking around campus or grabbing street food—most college students are secretly broke too and will honestly be relieved. You’re navigating a huge life transition right now, so take it one week at a time and remember that this tight budget is just a temporary phase!
