As for gaming friends, do they game online? That's a way you can all stay in touch. Pbem, PbP, video game online stuff, PbC are all methods that are usuable. I have been writing to my old gaming buddies for the past 19 years now via IM and letters and even phone calls every now and again. They're great people. What can I say?Another ... does your mom or dad (I won't ask about the dog...) IM at all? She an email person? (Both uses for the laptops.) Another possibility is streaming video! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Usually dorm rooms in colleges have hardwired connections for the students (and/or wi-fi) for the students that can take such data transfer. Also - got a cell phone?By the way. There's nothing wrong with being homesick. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> If you love your folks you love your folks. Period. I have been staying in touch with my folks ever since moving out at age 18.You will make friends I am willing to bet. I guess the main advice I could give to you would be to keep up all your old contacts and relationships, but branch out and make new ones too. Homesickness is made all the more keen when we lose perspective on things by being drawn into the present tense too intensely. Just be patient. Things will develop slow but sure. Just don't push things or force things.But be aware, I am a bit of a loner sort. I like being with my friends and such, but I like being by myself even more ... so perhaps in this sense I am not a real reliable source of info in this regard. Also, though, I am a letter writer. I have boxes and boxes and boxes of letters from people who have written to me for the past two decades.You going to be somewhere where you can walk outside at night and lay on your back and look at the stars and not get eaten by mosquitoes, btw? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
