| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the changes and realizations that occur when becoming a first-year student at a university far from home. After having little to no experience being away from home and being raised with a controlling parenting style, I had many hindering effects as a first-year college student. I use research on parenting styles, mental health, social differences, social media FOMO, and all of their connections to analyze my college experience and the causes of some of my challenges. My research explores the obstacles first-year college students face. Using data from various studies, I continue to explore how first-year students’ mental health at college is negatively affected by controlling parenting styles and social differences these students have with their peers. Later on in this paper, I conclude by offering suggestions for students that are experiencing feelings of homesickness. | en_US |
