5 Freshman Difficulties As Told by The Office

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

Saying Goodbye

Leaving friends and family at home can be especially difficult your freshman year of college. Let’s not forget saying goodbye to the family pet!

Social Scene

Figuring out whether or not you’re into the social scene at college can be difficult. But no matter what, whether you’re into going out all weekend or staying in, you’re bound to meet people who are just like you. However, it can sometimes be easy to spot freshmen are at a party by their dancing.

Dining Halls

Ah, the wonderful feeling after a long day of classes and walking through the double doors of a packed dining hall.

 

And the even better feeling you experience when trying to smuggle food out of the dining hall.

College Classes

High school is supposed to prepare you for the academic aspect of college. But does it really?

 

Making Friends

One of the most stressful parts of freshman year is finding a new group of friends. Although it can be difficult to stay in touch with old friends, unless you all happen to go to the same school, meeting new people can pull you out of your comfort zone but is well worth it.
