Common College Freshmen Fears: How to Overcome Them

It is quite natural to feel anxiety when you begin your university life. At this stage, you are preparing yourself to face a new challenge and do your best. After spending a few weeks at college, your fears may vanish independently. During the initial period, you may be troubled by some worries such as:

  1. I Gained Admission by Mistake

You may lack confidence and unnecessarily underestimate yourself. Rest assured that no one gets admission by mistake. The admission test and interview bear testimony and are there to prove your worth.

  1. I May Not Be Able to Make Any Friends

Remind yourself that all the learners are new, just like you, and do not know each other. So go ahead and talk to someone, join a social club, participate in sports or learner organizations where you can interact with others, and make friends with those who have similar interests.

  1. I May Have an Awful Roommate

Think of how you can adjust with your roommate. Examine things like hosting guests, quiet hours, sharing food, cleaning, and coming up with suitable rules to follow. If things do not work, you can change your roommate when you get an opportunity to do so.

  1. I am Not Capable Enough

You will have a more challenging workload in college, but there is no need to despair. You can get help from an academic adviser or a classmate.

  1. I Am Concerned About Finances

You will need a lot of money for a college education and may take a loan. It is a chance to learn to budget. Some on-campus jobs can help manage your finances.

  1. I Will Feel Homesick

You may miss your family and friends. But there are plenty of ways to keep in touch with them. You can keep aside some time to contact them frequently.

  1. I Do Not Have the Capacity to Fulfill All of My Commitments

College life requires efficient time management. It is an opportunity to prepare yourself for your future life when you have to allot time suitably for your family, social life, and job. Learn to do things in an organized manner, make lists, use a calendar, set goals, and prioritize your tasks.

  1. I Do Not Know How To Do the Basic Chores

Take the help of online guides or ask someone to teach you how to do the laundry or cook.

  1. I Have Never Lived by Myself

In the beginning, it may be hard to do it. But you will find many individuals who will be ready to assist you on the university campus.

  1. I May Gain Weight

If you plan your schedule, choose healthy food, and stay active, you can overcome this problem. Join a fitness class, participate in sports, or use a bike to go to the classes.

  1. I May Lose Connection with My Faith

Discover if there is a learner organization dedicated to your religion, or you can create one yourself.

  1. I May Feel Intimidated by College Professors

College professors can be smart and even intimidating. You can discover how your professor likes the learners to seek help and approach them suitably.

  1. I Am Not Sure What I Will Do After I Complete College

Take time to explore the various classes, talk to your seniors and professors, and set your goals.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
