Many of my friends have struggled with food insecurity due to not being able to pay for their meals, because their schedules are so packed that they can\u2019t balance having a job plus being a full-time student. We\u2019re forced to eat on-campus, which is very expensive and a lot of the time isn\u2019t accessible enough to students with different needs. This then adds additional stress to us, which makes being a successful student almost impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also seen how little mental health resources are made available to students. I\u2019ve struggled with mental health issues over the past year, and being able to get help has been a major struggle. I have had to wait hours for an appointment at times due to a lack of available staff and resources. I know many other schools don\u2019t have nearly as many resources for students on-campus that we do. We cannot reach our potential as students or even live normal lives if we don\u2019t have a support system to provide us with the assistance we need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a first year college student, I was not prepared for how challenging life outside of the classroom could be.
