It might be not one person in this world who doesn’t have at least a problem in life. It could be everyone has a problem, even many problems in life. These problems either can limit themselves or even can work as a step for us to move forward, but one thing is right, problems come is to be solved by solution.
I have a problem that actually a bit bother me lately. As I just begin my study at college, I feel like I am having a bit shock with the atmosphere here at college.
Months ago, when I was in high school, I didn’t have a lot of friends. I only had at least two close friends which were all my classmates. I didn’t think I could be close to other friends, even my classmates because I thought they had different perspective in

From that day, I started to realize that I am alone. I feel alone. I have lots of friends, like they are everywhere, but I don’t feel like I have even one person to be shared, to be believed and worthed to listen things that happens to me now. I feel like I need that one person who will listen to every lamentations that come from my mouth about problems at school, committees, and else. Somehow, the loneliness make me feel so down, not even my family would listen to me. All of my kind-hearted friends are really care, but busy with their own activities. I don’t think it is a good idea to bother them with my own …show more content…
Having lots of friends will make everything tend easier, especially as a college student.

The last one is a suggestion from a guy friend. He said that it was only my opinion. I feel lonely is not because I am alone and nobody cares about me, but it is because I consider that no one cares about me. It was only my own way to see how others treat me. They could be care, but I refuse to see their way. They might be busy with their own activities too. He also told me that his lecturer had said to him that our mind contains a lot of perspectives and opinions. He asked me to change mine and see how beautiful life is. He asked me to be more grateful to God about how blessing my life is.
In my own opinion, I think I need to start looking for a person to be close to. Nevertheless, I don’t think I will only rely to that one person. I will tend to rely to God, I need to be more grateful about what I have now. Besides, I think I need to change my own perspectives like what my friend had said. I need to fill myself with positivities instead of

    I know a lot of people that have been through their crucible or "severe trial" which has forced them to change, and look at things differently in life. In this essay I’m going to be writing about my crucible and how it affected me. So the severe trial that I’ve been through in my life happened last year during the school year, a month and a half before summer started. The whole eighth grade class was excited because we were going to go roller skating as a school field trip.

    Eight Week Group Counseling Course: How Social Adjustment Relates to Academic Success Students attending college are faced with many challenges, adapting to the social environment and adjusting to the responsibilities of school. These challenges are not limited to first time college students, returning students, or older students. Students who struggle with social adjustment may experience anxiety, depression, and loneliness (Arjanggi & Kusumaningsih, 2016, p. 105). Research indicates students lacking social support often have problems of adjustment and consider leaving college because they lack connections with their respective institution (Kelly, Lavergene, Boone, Jr., & Boone, 2012, p. 654). As students learn ways of navigating their college campus, they will develop confidence and better communication skills, which will help improve academic success.…

    Although alone and lonely are often thought of as being one in the same, alone doesn’t equal loneliness. Learning to be alone may be initially scary but once mastered serves as the cornerstone for your development and growth as a human being (“The Importance of Being Alone. ”). Evidently, when a person is alone, mentally, they will be brought down, as they needed a friend to let their problems out to; however, if a person feels the need to be alone they will benefit from the time spent alone and will enjoy their time spent alone. Furthermore, if a person has tasks for the day to accomplish, setting the tasks as their priorities and not to their friends will help them get to accomplish the tasks. By not talking to many people and focusing on priorities, people will get more done when they are…

    The transition from high school to college is one of the most significant changes most of us will experience in our lives. After spending countless hours taking the SAT, filling our college applications, and attending college tours I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders when received my letter of acceptance from the University of North Georgia/ Gainesville. While most of my friends chose larger universities and chose to live on campus, I knew I was not ready for that. While the thought of joining my best friend at Georgia Southern was very appealing to me, I knew it was not the right fit for me academically. If there is one thing, I have learned about myself over the years it is that I do much better in a smaller environment.…

    I’ve had many different friends in my life. I’ve had good and bad relationships. Friends that I grew apart from and others that ditched me because they simply just didn’t want to be my friend anymore. But all of those relationships, good and bad, have shaped who I am today and each have taught or showed me something different about friendship. For that reason all of the hurt, trials, and stress those relationships brought to my life was all worth it.…

    I think sometimes people get so consumed in their own little bubble that we find every way to claim that certain people are not there for us like we think they should be. The real question we need to ask ourselves is, when was the last time you took the time to tell those you love the most how much they mean to you? Whether it is a simple text, phone call, or snapchat you need to put forth the effort to value your friendships. The worst that can happen is they don 't respond!…
