Coming into a new environment all alone, as a teenager, is difficult to say in the least. Starting without any family or friends and having to live on your own for the first time in your life is a terrifying thought. Every new freshman faces this challenge, but eventually, everything works itself out, right? Friends are established from dorm floor movie nights and joining clubs during welcome week. It gets easier when you feel less alone when you have a friend to eat dinner with or even just someone in your class you can study with. Freshman year is hard for everyone, but it gets easier once you have something to look forward to, even if it’s something as silly as watching a movie on the quad. . .
