Freshman Struggle
I’ve gifted, visited, and hugged an exceptional number of students struggling this year. I know they each feel alone, stranded, and they’re beginning to feel desperate. The rush of decorating their room is over, the homework has set in, and Christmas break seems so far away.
As difficult as it seems, they need to talk to people. SO many students are feeling the exact same way. Talk to people on the elevator, open your dorm door, prop it open, and invite people over for an xbox competition, a tray of cookies, or hilarious game of New Phone, Who ‘Dis? They could start a study group, make dinner in the dorm kitchen (most have a fully-stocked kitchen with pots/pan/dishes you can sign up to use!), or go by the HPER to workout or join a class!
