I forgot what I had to do for my classes. I forgot what I was here for, and took on too many activities. Not having anyone like parents around to supervise me caused trouble for me. People need to be told there are penalties for partying. Too much stress.
Pride gets in the way.
You have to be willing to ask for help. I was homesick. I went home every weekend. Money problems Bills on my credit cards piled up. I thought I could get by with school and work.
