miserable at orientation

And it was an out-of-state public so most of the kids in my freshman dorm were hanging out with other kids from their high school or hometown. For the fall semester. And then slowly the blending started and by the end of the spring semester I had found my place there. It takes patience. Learning to make new friends and a new life for yourself is an essential skill.

This, and it will never be easier than college freshman year.

She will be fine even if she ends up not liking that school. I remember coming home from college a lot my freshman year because I felt uncomfortable with the crazy drinking scene. I learned that it wasn't the right school for me and ended up transferring to another school for my second year. I learned a lot about myself that year so it wasn't a wasted year.
