College Students

College brings lots of change and transition and even good changes can be really stressful. Whether you’re just starting your freshman year or preparing to graduate, you may find yourself struggling with:

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Time management & procrastination

  • Low motivation

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Feelings of overwhelm

  • Homesickness

  • Low motivation

  • Exhaustion

  • Burnout

  • Figuring out who you are

  • Family problems

  • Just being an adult

In addition to the normal challenges of starting college, first generation college students often face additional difficulties. As a first-generation college student, I understand the unique challenge that comes with starting college without having adults in your life that can help you navigate the world of higher education. These can include:

  • Overwhelm with college jargon.

  • A sense of not belonging or feeling like an imposter.

  • Uncertainty about available resources and support.

  • Feeling aimless in goals/direction.

  • Anxiety about job-readiness after graduation.

  • Feeling isolated and/or misunderstood by family.
