Off to College: 5 Tips For Freshman Year Jitters
To fight
Freshman Year
college culture shock, take some advice from Dr. Julia Turovsky, associate director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at Rutgers Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology.1 - Have a family affair. Just because you're becoming an independent young adult doesn't mean you should cut ties with mom and dad. Stay in touch with your 'rents, it'll help you feel safe and comforted. Also, keep those you love close by adorning your dorm with family photos and by sharing your memories with others.
2 - Everything in moderation! Your body is your temple, so respect it. Feed it plenty of nutrients and give it lots of rest. Eat only a minimum of greasy food and limit your caffeine intake. And remember to catch your Zzzs each night to fight off fatigue and depression.
3 - Get physical... Exercise is a great way to curb feelings of anxiety. Aerobic activity makes it harder for the body to feel Stress, and can energize as well as calm you. Swim, bike, run... do what you enjoy. An added perk: Being active offers a chance to be social and meet new people.
4 - Get organized. College is overwhelming, especially during freshman year, so try to keep things in perspective. Keep a "to-do" list to track what needs to get done and when. Also, set small, realistic goals to strive for. The feeling of achievement when you reach them can be very self-fulfilling.
5 - Plan ahead. Before school starts, stroll around and familiarize yourself with the campus. You know how it feels to be lost... avoid it at all costs! After all, you don't want to be one of those lost-in-the-crowd freshmen, do you?!
