Oh sweet girl this is so so so so normal. I think I was crashing out my first month. And then I was still kind of miserable for a bit. And then by December I was SAD to go HOME. It takes time. It's a big adjustment. Find ways to ground yourself to who you are. Call friends and family. But also go out and do the things. Mostly everyone around you is feeling the same thing

I've worked in higher education for 20 years. This is your "OH, shit" moment. Everyone has it at some point. You'll make it through. Stay positive, find your people, and trust it will all work out. Good luck and have a great semester!

Find a club. Any club. Seriously so good for you. Go take a walk. Get a coffee. Take a nap. Reset your nervous system.

When I was in college I would take all of my syllabuses and make one master sheet of ALL of my assignments for the semester. Papers, quizzes, even weekly board posts & replies all color coded by month so I knew EXACTLY what needed done each week and how heavy each month was so I can do things early if possible and gauge how busy I was way before I had to agree to any social events. It helped it feel way more manageable for me to have the big picture so I didn’t feel like everything was a right now problem.

College is hard. And it will take a moment for it to start to feel like home. Go to as many club introductions as possible until you find one you like. That will help. But it is normal to feel like this. Hang in there.

I changed my major 3 times before settling and ended up doing one extra year. You’re not on anyone’s timeline and the education you’re getting is still worth it even if you decide to go a different route. Don’t stress, you got it 💕

Go talk to your instructors. They were college students at one time. They can offer tips or point you to services available on your campus. You don't have to do it alone.

I do not go to univ, but! I promise you it will get better! It sucks at times, but honestly just join things and reach out. Like still to this day as a senior in classes I will just meet new people, and joining clubs help tremendously! The first few weeks take time, but you will find your spot!
