• knowing how to maintain your mental health within campus

• Mental Health Resources & ways to reach out

• Potential Signs to look out for

For now, as a placeholder, I'll paste the content I have made for Freshers. 

• The campus is pretty secluded, and it's very easy to become isolated & alone in your room. Being lonely is genuinely one of the most dangerous things to your mental health : I remember a week I spent just in my room with no interaction & that was hell; while days where I was depressed but pushed myself to interact with friends always ended up manageable. Remember, you're never alone no matter what your brain says.

• There are resources for you to always talk to when you're not feeling okay. Campus Therapists, Mental health apps, Seniors (of course), your batchies, your friends/fam, etc. Please reach out if it becomes unmanageble.

• Stress is an issue too. While the classes themselves aren't that hectic, the subject & how you're supoosed to learn them are. This combined with extracurriculars, and the indiscipline brought upon by adulthood will lead to a lot of stress. You can find a lot of ways for reducing or managing this stress online, but here's why you shouldn't be stressed : Most exams are less than 5% of your semester GPA, and less than 0.5% of your CGPA. Screwing up one, doesn't mean your whole life, or even your college life/sem is screwed. And in regards to socs: Even if you get kicked out, being in a soc doesn't give you any major advantage as long as you're willing to work on your own.

• FOMO is extremely common too, but like I said, most socs aren't crucial to you doing well, and in fact, you can do very well without their help too. 

• By reading this bit, you have also promised to reach out to your friends/fam/seniors/counsellors if things get too hard. Too late to change now, you can't break a promise, we will be sad :(

• If you want to talk to any senior about this, please fill out the contact us form, and we will get back to you ASAP.
