There’s nothing quite as fun as college can be, as long as you approach it with the right attitude and remember that this is indeed your life. You don’t get to go to college twice (well, unless you become one of those endless students).
Being a student — while potentially fun — also brings with it a bunch of not-so-fun stuff. College students often experience their first serious romantic relationship. They can also grapple with their first battle with a mental health concern — like depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or anxiety (like social anxiety or test anxiety).
The good news is that there’s a lot of free resources available to the savvy college student. Which includes you, since you’re reading this article.

Good article…there’s so much to take advantage of in college, and I know many of us would go back again and do it “better.” I’d just like to add that another mental health disorder that might first appear (or worsen)in college is obsessive-compulsive disorder, as it is a type of anxiety disorder. Prompt treatment is important so that OCD doesn’t take over your life.
