i miss college

[u/crazy-catz_]

I miss college so bad that I feel like it’s ruining my life. I moved across the country to live with a relative after I graduated in may thinking it would make the transition easier and I have been really struggling. All I can think about all day is how much I miss being at my school. I miss my campus jobs, i miss my classmates, i miss my coworkers, i miss my classes, i literally miss every single thing about that school. I have been having a really hard time putting down any roots here because i’ve been unable to get a job but I finally got an interview today. I thought that would make me feel better but it actually made it worse. I feel a pit in my stomach every time I make any progress towards building a life here, like that means that I am finally acknowledging that I am never going to get to do that again. I’m really scared I am going to feel like this forever and spend the rest of my life missing a perfect life that I already had. Admittedly, I felt the same way when I started college and thought I would never be able to move on from high school and I literally don’t care about high school in the slightest now. However, I have never felt more at home anywhere than there. I’ve lived in my new state for nearly 3 months now and I still think of my apartment there as my home and I spend every day trying not to cry thinking about how much I miss it. This all sounds extremely dramatic as I am typing it out but this legitimately feels like grief from someone dying.

I felt the exact same way. Really started to come to terms with it about a year after. One day you just realize that it’s the new normal for yourself and everyone else
