Letters To People I Love: Do Not Let University Destroy You

I say this because it is true. Some of us university students, enter university and make it our whole lives; which to some extent, it is. But then again, it is not because I am sat on my bed at this very moment wallowing in tears because I'm tired and I'm stressed. Considering that I have only been here a little under 4 months and I already feel defeated. I miss my friends and family. I miss being able to talk to them every day, ask how their day was. I miss being around them, in general. It's all these little things, the ones that you think are insignificant, the ones that you begin to realise when you are away. I miss it all. 

I generally feel like I'm falling behind in life because I'm struggling with understanding my assignments, which always seems to flood every time I finish one. But I know that it is not motivation that I need nor inspiration, I really would just like a break. From university, from my friends and family. From life, in all honesty, because I am so overwhelmed and the one person I  can talk to is literally on the other side of the world. So I'm here in my rooms crying softly hoping that none of my housemates hear me crumble.
