Mind over matter.

I will write back when I have got some time.

Stress is an easy escape when people lack motivation.

University is a total experience and leaving away from families is part of that experience.

It helps you to realise "how wonderful mummys cooking is."

make sure you realise the main reason why you are at university, keep your self focussed and organised.

You can easily be diverted thats where "WILL POWER" comes into play. Being able to resist temptations is also important. When I was at Uni I used to get dragged into training and playing for both the University Badminton and Football Clubs. I couldn't resist the temptation of peer pressures.

I starded off eating healty food, spent hours on cooking curries and proper meals. By the time I left, i was feeding myself on basic diets, beans and toast, microwave meal, fish and chips, etc.

You are not alone in this.

Good luck OZZ.

Ahad.

greetings Ozz and ahad,

Ozz I know what u mean, at times like this u need your friends around u, the odd phone call home also helps.

People deal with stress in different ways. Universities are very much aware of the so called 'stress factor' hence they introduce many societies and clubs for our benifit.

Joining certain socities has helped me in relieving stress and feeling home sick....U also make a phenominal amount of friends all with differnt personalities.

You should try to occupy the spare time u have with such socities and clubs, this will help keeping your mined occupied and make u feel less homesick!

However in saying that, I must also say that u must know your priorities..that is your degree...as ahad put it u must be organised.

On the food issue......sorry I cant help...coz Im suffering the same problem...the good news is that Im on a 5 week break so Im stuffing my self with the curries b4 I go back!

Hope this helps!

takecare.

Aaaah bless! Big boys missing their mummies! Thats so cute, anyway a big hug from me. As for the cooking well this little sister of yours would offer to sort that problem of yours out but hey if you have a single brain cell you'll leg it before you get food poisoned! lol .
Anyway don't get too homesick you'll put the rest of us off the idea of higher education! Remember the old phrase smile and the world smiles with you!

Hey.

If you feel too lonely then call your mum. Are you sure that you are feeling lonely for your mum or it's somebody *else*!!!!!!!!!!

Fell hungry prepare the instant noodles.
Or, can take help from Mcdonalds.

Or, ask Rupali, Rima, Faz or Khadija to tell you receipies. I don't know about guyz, may be they know some receipies also. But don't ask me. I know only how to cook rice and fry eggs.

Just remember that when there is a problem, there is a way also.

So, read carefully. Just kidding!

Have fun.

Cheers!

Oh...how cute! Missing ammu huh?! Don't worry sweetie...stress is in me too! I guess Its just a thing which will never leave us!
nevermind! Hey, What are friends for?! Let us make you feel at home...if we can!

Just take a chill-pill & relax those brain cells just a little...

Hey Tareq...if i could, i would have invited Ozz around for a meal but...I'm useless too! Rice & fried eggs is the only things on my menu too!
