First Night On My Own

It is my first night on my own! I get very emotional and sad because I miss my family. It's hard living on my own across the country.

[@Marissamarr]

Ari, literally every single college student is feeling like u do. Nobody goes in with friends or family and it’s really hard! You got this!

Aw, hang in there Ariana🥺 you are such a strong woman! I know it's going to be a little tough in the beginning, but push through! Keep yourself busy/occupied with school and/or work. It should help the days pass and then it's fall break and you're heading home! Keep your head up! I can be like your cousin on the east coast haha!😂 Lots of Love from NC✌🏼🤗💜

[@lenystipene60]

Ariana, that's life. Being away from your family prepares you for adulthood. Their roll to teach you how to survive lifes endless situations. Focus on your goals, your future & the magical journey ahead. Look at all of your blessings & be thankful for them. There are so many people who would love to be you. You got this honey. Much love & light. 🙏❤

When I was in college and I went away for spring break I felt the same way.

[@sharonpurdue2597]

Ariana many people go through the process of separation.Crying and sharing your emotional struggles are in fact healing moments that will help and strengthen you in the days/years to come. I adopted a child almost nineteen years ago so I understand your emotions somewhat because of her. I sense your pain through her similar experiences. Stay strengthened even through the tears. You are more than a conqueror in this battle. God loves you right where you are.....brave and beautiful!

[@katiehernandez8114]

We moved 2800 miles away from my family (west coast to east coast) and it was hard at first for like the first few weeks. Never lived that far from my family before until now. But it gets easier, hang in there. Hopefully you make friends fast at college and like where you live. It's a big adjustment. 🙂💜

[@lynnebriggs6184]

It’s ok Ari! It’s normal to miss your family, but you will be ok and will make tons of friends. Good luck in college I think you are going to do great ❤

[@Bailey186]

I’m so sorry I don’t know if I’m going to college but I’m not looking forward to when I move out of my parents house I mean I’m only 13 almost 14 so I still have a little while 😢❤

[@dottiegaumond9041]

I felt so bad when you were crying 😢. I know it's hard to be alone, but it will get better. Go shopping and look around your new area of town. You will also get new friends at college. You are so outgoing. Call home and talk to your family . Please keep us informed on your videos. Take care. Dottie

You will be fine you went from crying to smiling blogging is your comfort because you get lifted up 😂😊🎉

[@elyssabrecher7938]

Oh, hon....welcome to college out of state! Since you posted this 7 days ago, i hope you're feeling SO much better and that you've met some of your classmates! I think that it would have been a lot easier had you been able to move into a dorm or other student housing, so hopefully you'll find one or two classmates that live nearby.....and the greatest thing about living off campus is that you have so much more space! Atlanta is a GREAT town, and it has so much to offer. Take a deep breath, enjoy some quiet time, call your family, and have a GREAT day in class!! It gets better, I promise!! ❤

[@naturahorses7624]

We are proud of you :)

[@barbrabailey-wf9pp]

You are strong

[@needowtoo4497]

I know you will be brave and make friends easily and live will be hard but if you put your mind in to it anything is possible

[@LizKrause]

I was an RA in college. Everyone is feeling homesick those first few weeks. Go to as many events as possible. They might seem cheesy but it helps a ton to meet people. Also don’t be afraid to call your parents a bunch they feel the same way. I called my mom in between classes every day.

[@MelissaCardenas]

Great advice!

[@proper.role.model.819]

You went from a house of like 20 people to just you. It's alot girl. It's ok. We all love ya girl! You can do this!!

[@monaramirez-stanek8172]

Don’t be sorry/crying for missing your family. It just means they raised you with alot of love.

[@jessicamazo-8942]

Ari give yourself some time. You can't go from the crazy pieces home to a quiet apartment with only your thoughts without feeling overwhelmed or lonely. I'm sure your family is crying right along with you cause you are very much loved and missed. Stay strong and it's ok to cry. Have a great first year. We your fans are all very proud of you 💚💚💚

[@judisilverman5567]

It’s so hard to grow up and leave home. It’s scary, it’s overwhelming. You are strong and capable and you can do this! You’ll learn and do so many incredible things. Every new college person feels EXACTLY like you do.

[@pamamend5221]

Oh sweet girl I hope you are feeling so much better now…….. you are so loved.

[@arir789]

I'm sorry Ari, it's ok to feel that way and dont let people convince you otherwise. It's a huge change and being so far away from family and friends is hard but with time things will get easier and you'll find your own little community away from home. Instead of mourning your family being gone, try to grow excitement for the next time you will get to see them again. Wishing you the best 🙏🏽❤️

[@kyagomez5382]

Literally the best advice❤

[@melissav3199]

Ari, I moved from California to Louisiana after high school, for college. I felt 100% the same way you feel. It hurt, it was all I thought about, the culture was different than the West Coast, but it did get better. Day by day, I promise it gets better. Little did I know the amazing life long friends I’d make and I met my husband! We’ve been married for 25 years but together since college about 30+ years. Best thing you can do is get involved, even if you don’t want to or feel like it. Talk to the people sitting next to you in class, they are probably feeling the exact same way. You will do great! Just take it one day at a time. You got this! 🌸

[@sandrabaeza72]

Ari you’re soooo real for posting these moments. You might be helping someone else that its ok to have all these emotions at once. Everything will be ok 🤍🤍🤍

[@linloser]

Ari, I’m 25 and my entire family moved away a couple of years ago, a 22 hour drive away, and I STILL cry. You aren’t alone, and you’re allowed to take time to feel these things and let yourself cry. Crying is a good way to let ourselves heal and find our way. The waves will come and go, but never question why you’re feeling the way you are, never try to push it down, never feel silly for being upset. From one long distance daughter to another, we will get through this. Hugs.

[@teresacorley7874]

Arreaina you should face time them or call them more you got this girl it's okay to feel sad but try a keep occupied and hang around friends join a sports group like softball wish you the best learning to deal with emotions is a whole new thing when your young but it will teach you alot as time goes on I've been on my own since I was 17 it's been a real learning experience I found getting in to sports was my best outlet for stress and emotional well being and being outdoors and just finding some one to buddies around with or to help another person with rhier needs also helped

[@mariannaphillips9135]

Never ever apologise for crying.. it’s sadness and fear coming out in tears which helps release to make room for other things. You are in such a foreign situation and being soo far away from family/friends which everyone would struggle with. Hang in sweet girl. You are a gorgeous soul and once you get going at college and meet people then you will feel heaps better. But please never apologise for letting your emotions out and thank you for sharing your vulnerability as I’m sure lots of others will find this helpful if feeling the same. Much love and hugs, Maz 💜

[@Butterflykisses3]

I'm 47 and my parents moved to Idaho, I feel your loneliness. Once you get into a routine and make friends it will get better.

[@barbaraadamson2699]

Ari, it’s a huge jump to go from such a huge family always around to sudden silence. Your feelings are normal and expected. It’s okay. Take one day at a time. Call home regularly, call your siblings. They will be so excited to hear from their big sister. Call Hallie, call Alex. Their on their own too but a lot closer to home so they can update everyone’s goings on. Face time often with grandma a d aunt Bonnie. Know you are very well able to get through this and the semesters will go fast. College is always busy flies by quickly. That I can promise. You’re an amazing young woman. You got this Ari. ❤️❤️❤️🙋‍♀️❤️❤️❤️

[@CristinaQV]

I'm sorry, Ariana. You are amazing for pursuing your career away from home. I cannot imagine being away from my family, so I can feel your pain. I hope this isn't weird but I'm a Director in Buckhead and also live about 20 minutes from Atlanta. If you ever need anything, let me know. I have a sister who is 22 and was away for school, and I understand. But anyways, know we are here for you! 😊

[@kristinclark3304]

Awe, sweetheart everything is going to be okay. I know it's hard being so far from home, but you will make tons of friends out there, and school will keep you busy. You'll be able to see your family and friends back home on holidays and on breaks. Your a beautiful, outgoing, smart, independent young lady and I promise things will get better once you meet people and get into a routine. Take care and stay safe Ariana ❤

[@blue_gill3752]

You got this, its hard to move away from family that love and care about you soo much and have always been there for you through the good and the bad no matter what kind of day you're having. You're an amazing person, loving, caring, helpful and smart. We are all here to support you and listen whenever u need to vent, talk, cry, whatever u need we are all here for support. ❤ Also, your place is nice and cozy looking.

[@sivonni]

My first night away from my family was the night before basic training. As soon as my folks left me at the hotel, I was like, "Oh no! I have made a huge mistake!" The first weekend of basic training we were kept busy during the day but nights I was so homesick and so was everyone else! Everyone was talking about ways to get out of their military contracts, one girl joked about sipping on cleaning supplies to create a medical emergency. Knowing everyone else felt the same actually calmed me down and helped me feel less overwhelmed. And staying busy really does help.

[@barbaraleding7028]

Arianna, you got this! You are so loved. Get involved in your church, or in school activities. Your family members are just a phone call away. You got it! Love you sweet girl.

Aww, this is a throwback to when I moved alone. The first month was really hard, and I thought I had made the wrong decision because it felt hard and new. But I swear two years have passed now, and the level of personal growth I've experienced is mindblowing and I love it. And yes, it's really hard, and at the time I thought no one felt this way because it's really emotional on a deep level. But then I realized most people actually go through this and it's just a new season in life. Try to enjoy and don't be hard on yourself, it can time timee

Always remember your parents will answer the phone anytime you call them and you need to talk.
