Home for The Holidays... HELP

[Brooke4Jesus]

I am a second semester sophomore and my parents pay my tuition which means i go home for the holidays...
well anyway.. i have been her 10 days and I really just want to leave. The drama and chaos and the yelling and screaming and everything is driving me up the wall. I seriously thought about buying a flight home (as in school) early. I would rather do finals week over 4 times then endure this crap. What should I do?

any friends you can stay with while there? Even a night or two away from your family might give you (and them) some much-needed relief. It's tough to be home for the holidays... I remember my first time home for Christmas break. I was miserable and ended-up leaving early, too.

I hope it works-out. God bless.

Here's a practical suggestion. If you are majoring in either a science or some sort of liberal arts, chances are that your school offers summer research opportunities (at most schools, this program is called REU). I can't help you for the rest of Winter break. But you should try to get a paid research position under some professor at your school. That way, you'll be able to stay away from home for an entire three months, and you'll be doing useful work to advance your career. Just something to think about.

I am a bit surprised, though. Usually by sophomore year, college students have had enough time away from their parents that it's not so bad staying with them anymore. I always got along well with my parents, but by my sophomore year, I'd spent enough time away that they were even more tolerable. Actually, I just graduated from college, and I'm staying with my parents for a few months until I go to grad school. After spending years away from them, it's actually not so bad anymore!

If my parents paid my tuition I could put up with them for well over two weeks.......

i am glad that my parents are paying my tuition but when you have sisters and parents like mine they get a little difficult to be with

I'm stoked that I have the coolest family on the Earth-- I love seeing them.
