We are working on updating a well-known book for parents about kids heading off to college - and what to expect. At present, the book contains two journal entries - one from a freshman in 1924 and one from a freshman in 1984. Interestingly, both journal entries touch on many of the same thoughts and emotions - loneliness, concerns about identity and perception by others, and a sense of being somewhat overwhelmed.

We are interested in including an excerpt from a freshman year journal entry from a student in the present college generation.

If you have something you might be interested in sharing, please post it or let us know how to get in touch with you.

Thanks!
