Far away Family, Or Sick of not Talking to You!

Hello, Readers this week I had one of my super great awesome friends ask me how I deal with being away from home for such a long time (This friend is in Asia doing some very cool stuff but since I haven't talked to them about using this for my blog I won't use names). Anyway this is such interesting question for me since when I was young kid I could be away from home for less then a week and I would be the most home sick, latter in high school I was going all over the place all the time. once I started college at UTK in the summer of 2012 the summer of 2013 I worked at a camp, so I lived away from home for a year (yes I went home for holidays), but it is totally different when you can not just jump in a car and drive home. When you are "cut off", your mind will at some point decide to be sad because you miss your family, friends, animals! and you will have to get over it (which sounds bad). So here is my tips to avoid / get over those sad home sick feelings   
1. God it in control, 
2. Let yourself have fun both with friends and by yourself,
4. Yes things will change while you are gone, 
5. You will change while you are gone even if you don't notice, 
6. Talk to your family on a scheduled basis but not on a time crunch, 
7. Have a super cool friend who is also out of your home country to talk to when you feel stressed about being out of the country, 
8. Take nippy naps,
 9. Go on adventures even if your by yourself, 
10. Eat yummy food whenever you can, 
Bonus. Talk to people hear their story's,
And that's it for this week except for this PSA.
Dear readers I have some news I have decided that I will be posting on Monday mornings from now on. I have a lot of work to get ready for the week, so I don't get around to writing these post till late, and then I publish it at 11 or 12 Sunday night immediately after I write it. This has meant that less people read the post (and since I am writing this blog in the hopes it helps someone, someday) however last week I had a lot more readers, thus the change.
