How do you get over homesickness?

Answer 1

Call your loved ones as often as you need. Try to keep your mind off what you miss by making new friends or indulging in your hobbies. Go for a run, a bike ride. Sit your butt at a bar and start talking to the bartender or another bar-goer. Watch a movie, go for a drive. Maybe, if you don't live so far from home, you can take weekend and go back or maybe your loved ones can go visit you - wherever you are. It will get easier as time goes by - just hang in there.

Answer 2

Go hang out with your friends or do something to take your mind off of certain things. I get homesick, too, sometimes, but I get over it in a minute. :p

focus on one day at a time..... dont think about your family, just on what you are going to do in the immediate future...
