I'm moving eight hours away to go to college in a few days, and I am already very homesick. I know I am probably too old to be homesick, and that it is silly since I will be able to call/e-mail/IM everyone.
It's not even that I'm going to miss people so much as it is that I already miss my house and city. I've lived here all my life, I know what everything looks like and what to do. My new town will be tons of fun, but it just is not the same... it doesn't smell like home, it won't have the same characteristics... it's just not home.
My family will be coming up to visit about a month after they drop me off, and I will be coming home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But I am uncharacteristically worked up about this... I have cried three times in as many years and the last two have been this week, about leaving home.
How can I stop from being so homesick? I don't want to show my homesickness to my family or to anyone in my new town.
Please help me.

This is very normal and once you get to College things will change and it will become exciting for you.
