How do you fight stress and culture shock from school?

How do you fight stress and culture shock from school? I just started going to college and I dont know anybody and I dont like anybody I’m not as happy as I was back in highschool . I was really bumped.

Answer #1

Hi,

Going to college can be really horrible or really fantastic. My first two weeks sucked, then I started to love it. What I did was start to join stuff- clubs mostly that went along with my interests. At the beginning, it’s good to get involved because other people don’t know anyone either. You can make your friends from clubs and organizations that have people of the same interests.

A second suggestion is to see if they have a student support center or health center, with licensed professionals. At my school (UM), they have psychiatrists and support sessions that are free and help you transition easier. Check it out.

Good luck!
