My experience so far: University - Home Sickness (2)

I am now back at university for my second semester - ahhhhh! I always knew that in this series I would have to write about this topic as everyone feels it one way or another at some point during their uni experience. However, I don't think I truly felt it till I came back after the winter break. This was not at all something I expected.
