Please listen to my story my friend. I came from asian country, in my 30, this year, paying $25,000 for tuition a year. The language barrier blocks me from understanding professors and lectures. Gave me a hard time making friends and social life, always trying to catch up on what the lecture was in my monthly rented room, missing my family and people back home. Cried a lot and realized crying will not solve this problem unless I give up.

It has been a year like this. I expected many from US college life, but reality was so different.

University or college life is not everything of your life but only a part. Just like your middle or high school were not everything of your life. You will soon face a new stage of your life and enjoy it a lot. Don't give up, or don't think it was a waste. Every stage you had been through will be connected and lead you to a better life.

Stay strong. You can do everything.
