[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son, is a junior now, and started college during the worst of the pandemic, when classes were online from his dorm room and the campus was "de-densified."  Freshman fall was a slog but by spring, even under not great circumstances, he had made friends and was finding his groove.  As a junior, he loves college and is the happiest I've ever seen him.

All of this is to say that under any circumstances, change is hard and you need to give it time and effort.  Attending college is a privilege and the opportunity to obtain an education is a gift,[b] and sometimes kids need to stop wallowing and navel gazing and just get on with it.  Yes, it's hard, yes it's ok to feel sad and lonely sometimes, but avoidant behavior like camping or whatever is not going to cure what ails you.[/b]  [/quote]

All these spoiled kids complaining about how their T20 is "such a pressure cooker" and how they "dislike being there" need to suck it up. They are being ungrateful brats who are completely unaware about the privileges they have. They need to focus on doing well in a lucrative major and securing a good future for themselves. The navel gazing about how they "wish they went to a school that's less of a pressure cooker" is absurd. Get to work and STOP navel gazing! [/quote]
