Most Common Stress in College: Homesickness and Depression

Published on May 10, 2012

Being homesick and depression are two of the most common stress that a freshman college student usually experiences. Once they step into college for their first day, this is where they realize that they are no longer going back to their homes and they need to welcome a lot of adjustments, especially emotionally.

College life is not that simple; it takes a lot of adjustments, and the very common adjustment that a typical freshman college student usually does is to learn how to live on his or her own, away from home. Once you step into college, you must be prepared that you will be leaving the premises of your homes and you will start to leave in dormitories along with the other college students. If you were not used of getting up early in order for you to prepare your food or if you were treated like a baby by your parents before, then you must really strive hard to adjust on your new life.

Whether they admit it or not, most students will at one point get homesick, especially for those students who go to a school that is more than 3 hours from their home. Homesickness usually affects freshmen students, but when they already reach their sophomore year, they get used to it and learn to be independent by that time. Depression, on the other hand, comes from being pressure or by having a hard time socializing and making new friends. In order for you to cope with depression, try to go out with friends some times and be open on making new friends. Some new student find relief from depression through partying and having fun.
