;Objectives;;;;;;PartA_1;In-depth Reading;;3 I’m supposed to tell them, “This will be the best year of your life” and “You have nothing to worry about” and “You are so lucky. I wish I could go back.”;4 The August before I moved away to college, which seems both like yesterday and eons ago, those were the things everyone told me.;7 I put on a smile during that first month of college. When friends or family from home asked how I was doing, I told them, “I love it!” I went out to parties and laughed and pretended I was having the time of my life.;9 Then one morning after returning back to school from a weekend at home, I finally told one of my roommates, “I’m really unhappy here.” I felt like a giant weight had been lifted from my chest.;12 Over the next few weeks we had long talks about how we had been feeling. She felt lonely and lost, too, in our big university. Later, I found myself in my dorm hall while another friend cried in front of me about how homesick she was. Little by little I realized it was egotistical of me to think that my feelings were entirely my own. A lot of people felt a little bit like I did.;14 Looking back now, I can sigh with relief that things did get better.
