Leaving home and beginning your college career can be absolutely wonderful and extremely stressful. So whether you are a senior in high school preparing to go to college or you are at college looking for information about how to adjust to this huge change that has become your life, the following advice from an experienced teen life coaching may be for you.
You are entering college, a new world. You have left everything that is familiar to you behind, including, your family, friends and school, community and your dog and cat. You may be an hour away by car or six hours away by plane. You are feeling out of sorts, lonely, too much time on your hands, awkward, etc…. Your roommates are not saying any of this out loud and neither are you.
You want to call home and tell your parents that you just made the biggest mistake of your life and they should get in the car immediately or send you a ticket to come home. However, as you look around at the upper classmen, they look like they are OK, have it all together. Wow, they even have friends. You are determined to figure out what is going on with you. “Why am I so homesick?” you wonder.
