My First Day in College

You are crossing a milestone and it's natural to feel
overwhelmed. But help is round the corner and it is up to you to seek it. Reema Saffarini tells you how

You woke up todays to find that your life has totally changed. For the next four years you will be a college student, when a few months ago you hung out with friends in your high school playground.

Suddenly it's up to you to attend classes, handle your finances, do your laundry, sit for exams, manage your time, go partying and hang out with friends. In other words, you've become independent!

However, as exciting as some students are to live what adults usually call "the best time of their lives", many have their fears and worries. The change can be overwhelming, but guess what? It's cool!

It's okay to be worried. It's okay to wonder if you're in the right place or studying the right major.

Feeling lonely? Seems like everybody knows everyone else? Guess again. That's not true. All students are trying to get a foot in the door and you are no exception. Some show their fears and some don't.
