"Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now."

Day 20 of the "Blog Everyday In May Challenge." Wow, is it already the 20th of May? Am I the only one who is amazed at how quickly this year is going by?? Anyway, back to today's topic; "Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now."

I can thankfully say that I am not struggling with anything major right now. No, life is not perfect (is it ever?), but it is pretty fantastic. I have been missing my family incredibly lately, but it's nothing I can't handle. Besides, I was blessed enough to have them with me this entire weekend - read more about that here.

Honestly though, I am struggling with friends. I have made so many incredible friends here at Varsity, but I feel that I do not know anyone well enough (it has only been 3 months) in order to have an established and meaningful relationship with.

I have found myself feeling lonely at times, even though I am surrounded by people every minute of every day. Isn't that just the worst feeling? Feeling lonely when you're not alone?

I am by no means saying that I don't feel close to my Varsity friends or that I don't get along with them - I do! They are all such lovely people and they make me smile every single day. I just miss my friends back home. I cannot wait to make more memories with them and get to know the people here better.

But right now, I'm struggling with being away from my old friends - most of whom I haven't seen since January! Although we keep in regular contact, nothing beats sitting on your bed with a cup of coffee and chatting the night away or just being in each others' presence.

Keep scrolling and take a look at the photos that have captured some amazing memories with my bests - I miss them all so much and cannot wait to see them soon soon!
