Making friends, joining clubs, and doing well in classes are some of the many expectations which come with the idea of college success. However, with the excitement to thrive comes the adverse: the fear of failure.
Change is hard. It’s a universal experience that everyone faces throughout their lives; that is, the pain of letting go of who you were and accepting who you have become. From a developmental perspective, the difficulties associated with change most often show up when a person has a sudden disruption in their environment. Moving to a new state, parents getting divorced, or experiencing the death of a loved one are all moments when people feel the pain that their past is over and accept that their life is now different.

Students and families flocked to Target today to get everything they may have forgotten at home or didn’t realize they needed.

Most freshmen living in Danieley this year moved into their on-campus apartments this morning, and were met with a wall of enthusiasm. Greeted with cheers from their future RAs and orientation leaders, the students began to move in at 8:30 a.m. But with all of this excitement comes nervousness for many students, as they prepare to meet a host of new people for the first time.
