First challenge – going to college

It is not a secret that a young person experiences the first challenges in his/her life this time. But, perhaps, a few young people expect to find out many surprises after living home and turn to be among the new people and in the new conditions.

The first touch of the society rules is the first year at the college. It means that a young person faces many unusual ideas. To expect that a life will be similar is silly at least. Many ideas and opinions break or change under the influence of the new society representatives – students. So, mentally it could be difficult to a young person. The most common problems of the young students are homesickness, inability to get along with the new roommates, change in the subject expectations, new vision as for the professors which are quite different from the school teachers, new lifestyle and different schedule. Psychologically, it is possible to cope with every problem. Homesickness is to go away when a young person starts to be involved into the college activity, sport and studying. Writing letters to the parents and giving them a call once per week is a good remedy against this youth disease. Sometimes the roommates can not communicate easily. In the way of studying a young person is definitely to find some friends among the students. That is why in a year usually the roommates are changed for the better couples. Social activity starts playing more important role in a life of a young person. Why? The school schedule was created on the principle of the studying. The college schedule is created to develop the students in many directions – studying, socializing, college activity. The teenagers become more active. The first challenge in a college life is to stand for the college ideas firmly.
