Seasonal Student Issues #26
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:

• Feeling sad about leaving established friends and family at home
  
• Concern about issues of "belonging" and finding a comfortable place on campus
  
• Excitement coupled with anxiety about making a fresh start
  
• Worry about academics being "hard" and beyond their abilities
  
• Thinking about what type of first impression they'll make
  
• Concern about roommates and housing (if living on campus)
  
• Wondering what to pack and what to leave at home since space will be limited
  
• Possibly transitioning into a long-distance relationship or deciding to end a current relationship
