Get It Right: Pitfalls To Avoid Your First Year Of College
Not taking care of self
It’s hard when you realize that your family isn’t around anymore to remind you to take vitamins or to take a nap when you are stressed. A huge first year pitfall is a lack of self-care. Visit your campus health center and get an STD test, a physical, or get those flu like symptoms checked out. When the stress becomes too much, find a local church and/or a mental health professional. Avoid falling ill and or a mini breakdown by making self-care a priority.
