What if I'm not adjusting right away and my friends at other schools are?

Each person's college experience is really a unique experience, and you might be having the most miserable time of your life and your friends are having the best time ever. But your friends, maybe they went to a state school where they know 15 people, or they're living down the hall from a best friend and you've gone to a place where you don't know people. Or maybe you're at a place where you know people and it's like "Oh, this is totally like high school." So you can't compare your experience to someone else's because your experience is really unique to you, and everybody adjusts at a different pace. So it's understanding that your experience is yours and really embracing that and really focusing on that because your friends, you might talk to them in six months and they'll be having a miserable time once they sober up and realize they've got like a D average, when you are just finding real friends that are going to last a lifetime and you're getting an A. So don't compare your transition to anybody else's.
