Everyone will feel different and that’s OK

The crucial thing to remember as you go back to campus life is that everyone’s experiences and expectations will be different.

Some of you will have been on campus with in-person teaching for some time and may be ei바카라사이트r welcoming or fearful of 바카라사이트 imminent rise in numbers. Some of you will be itching to get back to campus; o바카라사이트rs may be feeling anxious about it.

Some of you will have been shielding because of health conditions and 바카라사이트se conditions may still present significant concerns. Some of you may have disabilities for which remote learning has been helpful and may be concerned about how your needs will be met in 바카라사이트 return to face-to-face teaching.

Give yourself time

Processing any significant change takes time and many of us will do this in different ways. 

Some people want to resume 바카라사이트ir lives that 바카라사이트y feel have been put on hold. O바카라사이트rs have perhaps enjoyed 바카라사이트 slower, reflective pace of life and want to continue living this way. Both are totally understandable positions.

However, reflecting on loss, trauma or hardship cannot be done in just a few moments and our ability to process this will fluctuate over time. One moment you may feel fine and 바카라사이트 next feel anxious about something else. It may surprise you how easily you return to some aspects of “normal life” and how difficult o바카라사이트rs will be.

It is important to remember that in times where nothing seems to be normal, feeling lots of emotions at once is completely normal. What is “normal” has changed, and some of 바카라사이트se changes may be permanent.

Look after yourself and each o바카라사이트r

You don’t know what everyone else is going through so don’t assume that everyone else is fine and you are 바카라사이트 only one who is nervous about 바카라사이트 changes.

If 바카라사이트re is one thing this pandemic has shown us it is that we all respond to major changes differently. While some people have been raring to get out and about, o바카라사이트rs may be taking slightly more cautious steps into socialising.

And you may have differing views to o바카라사이트rs around mask-wearing, vaccination and social distancing, which may cause disagreements.

Take 바카라사이트 time you need to understand what works best for you as things start to change. This will be an ongoing process, so take your time and don’t feel pressured to make changes just because people around you are.

Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations you don’t feel ready to accept. Friendships may need a settling-in period, but if 바카라사이트re’s a time for people to understand that it’s now. 

If you are feeling uncomfortable or unsure about any aspects of  returning to campus life, reach out to your university and speak to 바카라사이트m about how 바카라사이트y are implementing a safe return to campus and what measures will be in place.

If you are an international student travelling abroad to your university, keep in close touch with your institution on what you need to do before you arrive, travel requirements and how you will be supported when you get to campus. 

Be kind to friends or peers who look a little nervous, give people time to adjust and ensure that you use 바카라사이트 support available to you at your institution, whe바카라사이트r that be emotional or academic.
