A bike, a hat<\/p>\n

A phone, a cat<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the title of a Dr. Seuss book. It\u2019s a list of transitional objects helping UB first-year students navigate the difficult journey into their new life as college students.<\/p>\n

Studies have reported that as many as 70% of college students<\/a> experience homesickness during their first year. Students face challenges associated with academics, finances, and interpersonal relationships. Depression and anxiety have also been identified as major risk factors for college students. There are many strategies and resources that students can use to help them thrive during their transition to college life, but common, everyday objects can help as well.<\/p>\n

Enter the transitional object<\/h2>\n

In English<\/a> 101, Academic Writing, first-year students are examining the \u201ctransitional objects\u201d that provide emotional support as they settle into life at 越南直播. The instructor of the class, Dr. Laist, explains, \u201cHere at UB, we are very mindful of the challenges faced by incoming students. We have developed a learning community model designed to help students get to know one another and become acclimated to the campus. Our first-year writing classes are not only about learning how to write for college, but also using writing as a way of thinking through the big questions that students face at this important point in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201ctransitional objects\u201d that Dr. Laist\u2019s students are writing about are possessions, devices, mementos, and even animals that anchor them to important aspects of their identities.<\/p>\n

For Vedhanth Reddy Jakka, his transitional object is his bike. Vedhanth’s bike is more than just a means of transportation, it\u2019s \u201clike a bridge that connects my past, what’s happening now, and what’s going to happen in the future.\u201d The bike reminds Vedhanth of childhood adventures. It connects him to the people and places in his life and symbolizes his hopes for the future.<\/p>\n

Fowzia Aziza explains that her phone is the most precious thing in her life now that she has left all her family members in Bangladesh. Her phone serves as a transitional object because it connects with her family. Talking to her loved ones over the phone helps her get relief from stress and makes her feel refreshed.<\/p>\n

For Mia Guzman, Lilo, the cat, is more than just a pet. She is family. Mia explains, \u201cPets are more than just animals. They are a person\u2019s best friend.\u201d Lilo is there for all the ups and downs, especially when Mia needs her the most. When Mia is feeling stressed or anxious, she and her cat love to cuddle, take naps, or even take trips outside of the house. They like to go on relaxing walks together \u2014 although Lilo is a cat, she clearly loves the excursions. Lilo has shown Mia how to be a responsible person. She provides a sense of warmth and love and reminds Mia of how much she truly loves animals.<\/p>\n

\nBlendi Musliu with his transitional object \u2014 his hat.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Blendi Musliu\u2019s transitional object is a baseball hat. He explains, \u201cThe hat is not just a piece of clothing. It is a vessel for memories.\u201d The hat was a gift from Blendi\u2019s dad, which he handed to him right at the airport’s entrance as Blendi left his home country of Kosovo to come to UB. With a heartfelt smile, Blendi\u2019s dad said, \u201cThis is a gift from me to help you remember us.\u201d Blendi remembers that moment as if it happened just yesterday. The hat is a simple symbol of his journey and the bond he shares with his dad.<\/p>\n

Starting a new life at college can be difficult, but these students are demonstrating the power of special objects to connect them to the values that motivated them to come to 越南直播. Blendi, who is majoring in Computer Science<\/a>, puts it this way: \u201cHome may be behind, but ahead lies the fascinating adventure of college.\u201d<\/p>\n
