When College Isn't the Time of Your Life
September 03, 2025You often hear that moving into college is one of the most exciting and amazing experiences in your life; mine was a little different. An accident sent me to the ER a week into school, I tried to transfer home the week after that, and I thought that my life could not get any worse than it was at college. I ended up loving Ouachita after my first year, but if you or your student are struggling right now, trust me – I’ve been there. It can feel like you are stranded and have no rest from the uneasiness of the unknown. If college is not the best thing ever for your student or yourself at first, here are some things I learned that I hope will help you.
