Moving away from home for the first time presents many challenges. One can’t help but feel a strange combination of intense anxiety and blissful excitement. It’s the first time in your life that you will be free from the holds of your parents, but that means you’ll have to take more responsibility for your actions. You can still lean on your parents for help, but they aren’t going to be there for you when you get home. You’ll have to be more self-sufficient and resourceful than ever before. If you’re still nervous, check out my tips and suggestions below.
Tip #1: Make sure you’ve packed all of the essentials. If you’re missing your favorite pillow or robe, dorm life can seem even more unbearable at first. Bring items that will make you feel at home in your new place. Everything from your favorite slippers to your favorite moisturizer should be there.
Tip #2: Make sure you’ve got a comfortable place to sleep. If your dorm allows you to bring your own furniture then bring a comfortable chair, desk and a futon bunk bed to optimize space. Dorm rooms are usually pretty small, especially if you’re sharing with a roommate.
Tip #3: Go out and have some fun. College isn’t only about education; it’s about socializing and meeting interesting people. There are sure to be tons of fun activities for incoming freshmen so take advantage of it and get out there. You can be anyone you want in college so why not be outgoing?
Tip #4: Be safe. Your college experience is going to have its ups and its downs. You will attend wild parties and you will study a lot, but through all of this make sure that you take care of yourself. You should be getting enough sleep and eating healthy. When you go out, never go without a friend.
Don’t be nervous, college is going to be great. After a few months you’ll no longer be homesick and you’ll have become completely accustomed to college living. Just relax and go with the flow.

Transitions: A Student Reality Check
Why would I be so slow on doing everything?
Almost every job that I have had, I am told that I am too slow. Either that or I am too shy. I am also a slow eater. I lost a good job today, medical transcription, because I am too slow. I can type 70 wpm, what gives? I have social anxiety and have had panic attacks. I feel like I am a 12 year old in a grown up’s world, I don’t cope very well. I am not stupid; I can get A’s, can obviously use a computer, can get to point B by using a map, etc. I have heard of executive functioning problems like as if your elevator goes to the top floor but not to the roof-does anybody know anything about it? Does it cause time management problems? Or am I just related to my grandfather who was never in a hurry?
You may just be working in the wrong types of jobs. Have you tried taking some tests to see what your personality type and work preferences are? You can call a local university and they can do the testing – ask for the counseling center. There are also plenty of books on this topic. There are jobs where you don’t have to be fast. I work with a guy who is a very slow talker, writer, eater, walker, etc. It is very annoying to talk with him – however, he does a good job.
