How did I adapt with the new environment at the college

Communicate with others

Communications is always important, but especially so when you face change. A lack of communications from others can have a negative impact, while effective communications can have a positive one. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, you need details about the change, so that you can determine how it affects you. Don’t just sit back and wait for things to happen.

Part of the fear of change involves dealing with the unknown. If possible, try to minimize this factor by talking to others who have undergone such a change.

Your communications should involve more than just people like your friends and lecturer. You should involve people in other college as well. They might have experienced the same change, so their advice has value.

Make Friends

Making friends might not always be easy. It actually depends on the culture of the organization and on your own personality.

 If you have a shy personality, then you need to sharpen your people skills to actually get along. Be friendly, smile as much as you can even to people who you don't know and initiate discussions about interesting topics.

 If you find resistance then stop trying too hard. Give it a break and mind your own business until your colleagues approach you.
