There are a lot of things to cry about, but there are also a lot of things not to shed a single tear over. Whatever you may or may not be going through, I assure you that it is going to get better (well... maybe not the dining hall food.)
Not finding your "people."
GiphyIt's important to remember that everyone is new, and no one comes into college knowing everybody. Finding a core group of people who you vibe with may not happen overnight, but eventually, you'll find your people. In the mean time, take a deep breath and just be yourself.
Eating alone in the dining hall.
GiphyEating alone is so, so, so, normal in college and not something you should feel self-conscious or insecure about. When you walk into your dining hall, chances are you'll see plenty of people quietly dining solo. Unlike your high school cafeteria, no one is going to judge you or think you're a 'loser'.
The "Freshman 15."
GiphyDon't have such intense fears about gaining weight, that it keeps you from enjoying your time. Make smart choices when you can, otherwise just have fun!
Looking good for your 8 AMs.

Waking up for a class that early is bad enough, and chances are nobody's rolling in with their face perfectly beat.
Not having your life "figured out."
GiphyEven if it looks like someone DOES have everything figured out, most people don't. Seriously. If they did, they wouldn't be in college.
