When I went to college and lived 5000 miles away from my family. I was feeling homesick and I was having a hard time adjusting to everything (acads, environment). Things even became more difficult when my sister lived with me after a year and my aunt can't stay with us in Manila anymore. No guardian/adult around. My mom sends us our monthly allowance and I had to manage everything. I pay our bills, go to the grocery, attend my sister's graduation and PTA meetings, do the laundry etc. It felt like everything was too much for me. I thought I was only supposed to go to college and enjoy it Growing up never felt so fast.
