<p>Allow me to tell you a little about my first year of college. It was very stressful at times and though I did learn a lot, there was some things I had trouble with. Also there was a period that I went through that I called my depression phase where I literally was depressed about everything and the everyday college routine got so old. After getting some on campus help and proper sleeping and eating I felt much better. Still I had the everyday routine is going to get boring stuck in my head and I knew it was only my first year. I have heard that this is normal for first year college students. This fall term for my second year I am going to be moving into my fraternity house. (It is not as a party environment as it may seem.) However, I will be living in a special single room with a couple of my close brothers in the same hall. Anyway will my experience get better and does everyone get tired of the everyday routine, or is it just me? Hopefully I won’t go through my depression stage again. If so what are ways to be able to cope with this? Hopefully college would get better for me and it’ll keep me interested.</p>
<p>Two years ago I had a rough first year as well. Looking at your situation, I think it’s great that you have your OWN room while being surrounded by people whom you enjoy being around. The daily routine can certainly get a bit depressing, but since you know it’s coming, try to find things to look forward to. Otherwise, you’ll be in the same rut as last year.</p>
<p>Thanks, I have been thinking the same thing. Hopefully I will find things to look foward to. This year I am going back with a car so I would be able to find things to do around town. Thanks.</p>
