The article addresses the struggles of a 23-year-old international college student facing anxiety while trying to adapt to life in America. The student feels pressure due to a lack of job opportunities in their unique field, cultural stereotypes, and their parents' diminishing ability to support them financially. They struggle with feelings of isolation and uncertainty in navigating a new environment. Dear Abby advises reaching out to academic advisors and peers from the student's own culture for support and guidance, emphasizing that these actions can help alleviate feelings of being lost.
If there are other students from your culture, they may also be able to help by explaining things to you.
Many students find it difficult to adjust to college life. The fact that you come from another culture only adds to that.
Try reaching out to the dean of your department or talking to an adviser in the student counseling services to find the help you're looking for.
Do these things, and you may find out that you are not as lost as you fear you are.
