seasonal student issues #7
There's a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student issues. Here are a few things your student may be experiencing this month:

  • Roommate problems/floor tension
  • Academic pressures because of procrastination, workload and lack of ability
  • Burnout
  • Not feeling like they have the stamina to keep up the pace through finals
  • Job search stress for holiday break
  • Problems from increased alcohol consumption
  • Lack of initiative to find new friends or activities because it seems social groups are already set up
  • Concerns about going home at Thanksgiving — whether it's concern about seeing changes among old friends or how things will be with family members
