But how do you know?

These last couple of weeks have been really hard for me.  I've been struggling with whether or not MC is the place that I'm supposed to spend the rest of collegiate career.  So many people "know" that this is where they're supposed to be and I thought so too upon first attending.  As the weeks have gone by I have not found myself loving it more and more like most, but getting much more homesick.  So, I'm wondering if it because I'm not trying hard enough or if this just isn't the place for me.
Pray about it - I know.  Much easier said than done.  You can pray about something all you want but it doesn't mean that you're going to hear an audible voice saying "go here" or "do this."  And this is kind of where I'm stuck.  I guess that if I'm supposed to be somewhere else the doors will open for me and the ones here will close.  Then I wonder if I'm closing the doors on MC. 
I've been so worried about doing the wrong thing lately that I'm stressing out way to much.  So, I'm trying to just take everyday at a time and not worry about things.  I know that whatever happens it's going to turn out okay, but I'm still worried that I'm going to make the wrong decision and it's going to change my entire life.  So, if you have any advice on what I should do I'd be more than open to hearing it.

i know how you feel...i too have been homesick. at times i am not sure whether or not this is the place for me, i find myself thinking where would i be if i was not here?
currently i think i am in the right place, but i still get homesick. i wish you the best of luck figuring out where you are suppossed to be.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I hope things get better. I came here for several reasons, with one of them being the fact that I live in Flowood. I don't get homesick since I go home every weekend, but I can understand how you feel.
