[quote=Anonymous]College was by far the best time of my life, and even though I faced some fairly significant struggles, I knew it at the time. I knew it was all downhill afterward. Not everyone's experience is the same, I suppose, but I would encourage her to find ways to feel better...maybe see a counselor/therapist. What do you think is the best way to get through to her that it's OK to relax a little and have some fun, and that college and learning is more than just studying, taking tests and getting As? Because bottom line, that's what she seems to need to understand. So much of what you learn during the college years -- note, not just AT college -- is outside the classroom. I would also encourage her to study abroad. I bet that would change everything for her. Running away to Europe taught me so very much and turned me from a C student to an A student and cum laude graduate.[/quote]
