After you come here, some of you or mostly everybody feels home sick for a few moths or so. The only thing I can tell you here is to keep yourself occupied.
The more time you spend alone or doing nothing, the more you will feel home sick. Try to keep yourself busy. Usually when the semester is going on and you have a lot of assignments, quizzes and tests and you would not think about being away from your home but as soon as you start giving yourself some free time , your mind just gets diverted and you start thinking about your family friends and become nostalgic .
During the interim do something you love . If you like reading books , library usually has huge collections of books . Go check them out and remember you are already paying library fees with your tuition fees, so make good use of it. Hang around with friends, go to church and let about American culture. There are lot of things to do and you would better know what you like to do the most .
If you don't have any hobbies , develop one. Also look out for volunteer opportunities. Volunteering can be a lot of benefit to you and the community. You can make a lot of new connections, meet new people and you can always add your volunteering work to your Linked profile. Employers in US love to see Volunteer work in your resume .
You would realize that your laptop or tablet is your best friend. You would spend a lot of time with it . Studying, watching movies,Skyping , doing assignments etc. etc. Trust me you will spend a lot of time with your laptop. Of course when you have free time and you are feeling too lazy to go out for a walk or hang out with friends , who will come to your rescue ? Yes you guessed it right - Your Laptop.
Of course stay connected with your parents , siblings and friends. All hail the technology today that even after being 8000 miles away from home you can still video chat with your near and dear ones.
Yes last but most important thing - Don't listen to the "Maa" song from the movie Taree Zameen par
and also try not to listen too "Luka chuppi bahut hui" from the movie Rang de basanti . :-)
If you like my post do share it with your friends and also let us know which songs you would not listen other than listed above . :P
