First-year college students often form expectations about college life long before they leave home. Some young adults look forward to college, eager to experience more freedom and adventure. Others may be enthusiastic initially but then discover that the experience falls short of their expectations when they don’t feel happy, comfortable, or secure in their new environment. Still, others know that leaving home will be difficult and therefore dread the thought of leaving for college.
No matter what his or her expectations, nearly every student encounters obstacles he or she didn’t anticipate during the transition to college. Even positive life changes produce stress, and indeed the changes leaving home demands can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, and worry. These feelings are typical and part of the developmental transition to college. If you’re a student experiencing exactly that (or some form of it), consider reaching out to Thriveworks Wilmington for help.
You may expect your college years to be among the best of your life. If you feel upset and miserable, this can be a very confusing and scary expectation. However, many students feel sad and scared during the first several weeks of college. You are in a demanding new environment, and everything is different, and you may even feel like you’re not supposed to be here.
You may feel you must grow up all at once, which may overwhelm or even depress you. You may feel far away from the people who love and support you. Perhaps you are a student who does not feel homesick but instead feels disappointed in your experiences and personal interactions. If you are distressed, you may notice that other students are happy and optimistic. It may surprise you, however, to learn that many other first-year students are scared and sad even if they don’t show it.
The truth is that any and all college students can benefit from counseling. So consider taking that first step to get the help you deserve and reaching out to Thriveworks Wilmington.
