[quote=Anonymous]Instagram and other social media (and even college advertising material) can send the wrong message about how the first few weeks “should” be. It was a hard adjustment for many of us 30 years ago and it’s a hard adjustment for many of our kids now. As parents, some of us may want to give glowing reports about how “perfect” our new college kids’ lives are and how they’re “loving it”, but that’s not usually the full reality. Roommate adjustments, illnesses, transportation snafus, trying to figure out the social dynamics, homesickness- those are all very real and our kids need to know it’s OK to struggle with those things and hopefully learn how to navigate them.
