Talluluh, so sorry you're feeling so miserable and homesick at the moment.

I honestly think you're probably not giving it a fair shake yet where you are. I probably sound like the parent-aged person I am, but it's true. You're standing right smack at a huge crossroads in your life right now: you can stick it out, at least for a relatively small amount of one semester (which is pretty welll paid for now) like a soon-to-be-adult or let those feelings of homesickness/boyfriendsickness encourage you to turn tail and come home, two months or less into your semester, not having finished or accomplished anything you'd set out to do (here I'm not talking about a degree, I'm talking about a semester's course credits, a nearly five-month time out of the nest, some early steps toward adulthood).

This is a growing-up crossroads you're facing, and I'd like to see you take the grownup route. I'm not saying for an entire year. Or forever till you graduate. For one semester, one which is already nearly halfway through. You're going to go through tons of changes in these next years and months, and what you want right now isn't necessarily what you'll want three months from now, much less four years.

If that relationship and boyfriend are as wonderful as you profess they are, then they will stand the test of your finishing out the next couple of months. Then by the time you do that, perhaps you'll be looking through less homesick eyes and not making an impulsive, emotionally driven decision. Sure, no one can make you stay but yourself. But I think you'll be letting yourself down in the long run if you run back to your comfort zone now. Strange as it may seem, what you're going through right now are growing pains. You're out of your normal comfort zone, and as awful as it may feel it's a huge growing experience. You'll see that later on.
