Maybe I am fine

 A little update from my last post:  It is currently day three, almost four of my trip and I've been shockingly well. My parents haven't been forcing me out of the room at night for dinner, but they want me to come to the beach during the day. I actually don't mind the beach. It's calm, I can read, and I can order food and drinks whenever. My mom has been doing check-ins with me to make sure I'm okay which I really love. I just went out tonight to dinner and the food wasn't bad. I got cola braised short ribs with pomme mousseline which was delicious!! I have two full days left and I'm going on a 6 hour excursion tomorrow which will hopefully be fun. That's all I have to say for now, love you lots! - Cherry  πŸ’‹

Even when I first moved into college, the first semester was so rough. I made friends, but I was begging to go home every weekend. Now imagine that, but it's only 5 days. Sounds ridiculous right? Because it is!! But I can't help it. I don't even know how I got so homesick. I went on vacation at least once every year since I was a kid and I was fine. Now its like if I leave the house for the weekend I lose my shit. I'm currently typing this from my hotel r...
