College is a massive shift, and the biggest challenges often happen outside the classroom. In high school, you might have been a big fish in a small pond. Arriving here can make you feel like a small fish in a vast ocean.  It is entirely normal to feel overwhelmed by roommate friction, anxious about making friends, or stressed trying to balance competing priorities. While it looks like everyone else has it all figured out, they don't. This session offers a real, judgment-free look at managing your mental health, building confidence, and finding your footing. Come discover your campus support systems and realize that whatever you are feeling, you are absolutely not alone.
