Seasonal Student Issues
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:
November

  • Roommate problems and floor tension
  • Academic pressures due to 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 set up
  • Concerns about going home at Thanksgiving time — whether it's concern about seeing changes among old friends, how things will be with family members or dealing with a romantic relationship
