Going to college 1,000 miles away from home meant I would go home very seldom resulting in getting homesick every now and then. However, homesickness has no distance requirement. You could go to school an hour away from home and still have your moments of homesickness.
For me, I am always so busy and I get to talk to my family multiple times a week so I don’t get homesick often; However, around the end of the fall semester when we near the holiday season, I always find myself with an extra amount of homesickness.
While there are so many cures for homesickness like FaceTiming the family or surrounding yourself with friends, for me the best cure is always music. Over the past year and a half I have made what I think is the best playlist for when you are in a homesick mood. I’ve included some of the best songs below to help any homesick student through their tough time.
1. Rivers and Roads- The Head and the Heart
2. Wish That You Were Here- Florence and the Machine
3. Landslide- Dixie Chicks
(Any version of this song is amazing and will do the job but my mom introduced me to the Dixie Chicks so it has a special place in my heart)
