Returning to campus isn’t an easy transition for everyone. You may feel homesick, nervous about your workload, or apprehensive about living with new roommates. It is normal to feel worried. For this reason, it’s important to take care of your mental wellbeing during this transition.

Stay Connected: If leaving home is emotionally difficult for you, find ways to stay connected with your friends, family, or even your furry friend back home. Ask your loved ones at home if they would be interested in creating a scheduled, standing phone call or facetime call with you anywhere from once a day to once a week while you are on campus. The call doesn’t have to be long, just enough to help put you at ease until you feel more comfortable being back on campus again.

Prioritize Rest: Your break may have been filled with non-stop action, but it’s time to slow down and get back into the swing of things. Starting the semester on the brink of burnout is a recipe for disaster. As you prepare to return to school, shift your priority from overloading your schedule with activities to rest and recovery, to help make sure that you are returning to campus feeling refreshed and ready for any challenges that come your way.

Take it Slow: Don’t try to do everything all at once as you prepare for your return, as it may cause you to feel overwhelmed. Instead, make a list, a few weeks before your return, of everything you need to do, and try to check off one or two of the items each day. Your checklist will help to keep you on track and to prevent you from panicking about your preparation tasks.

Create Some Playlists: Music can be used to encourage productivity or simply to boost your mood! Create some playlists that you can use while you are at school. You can make one for studying, one for relaxation, and another for hanging out with friends. If you need to make a long drive or catch a flight to get to school, you also can create a playlist for your trip!

Stay Positive: It is okay to feel negative emotions such as sadness, anxiety, or fear, but try to keep a positive attitude to offset those feelings. When a negative thought about returning to campus pops into your head, try reframing it in a positive light. For example, if you think to yourself, “My classes are going to be so hard, I am sure I will fail,” try thinking instead, “This new semester may be challenging, but if I stay organized, I can succeed!” Staying positive isn’t about lying to yourself or suppressing negative feelings, but instead, it’s about giving yourself a different perspective.
