Transitioning to uni & college: gearing up for your new life chapter As the year draws to an end and Matriculants prepare to move from their school career to higher education, parents and students alike need to start preparing for the emotional whirlwind that accompanies this transition, an education expert says.

“The leap from high school to university and college life is often portrayed as an exhilarating jump into adulthood. Movies, TV shows, and even best-selling novels romanticise the college experience, painting a world of limitless freedom, midnight study sessions, impromptu road trips, new friendships, and transformative learning,” says Dr Linda Meyer, MD of The Independent Institute of Education’s Rosebank College.

“Yet amid the thrill of embarking on a new academic journey and the promise of fresh starts, it’s essential to acknowledge that this will be one of the biggest life changes young people will have experienced. Being aware of the challenges and what to expect – and prepare accordingly – will make a huge difference to the likely success of this transition,” she says.

The emotional rollercoaster Dr Meyer says stepping onto a university or college campus for the first time can feel like entering an entire new universe.“The move isn’t just about packing bags, selecting courses, and choosing the right dorm decor. More profoundly, it signifies a shift in one’s identity. No longer is one a school student, protected and cocooned within the familiar confines of hometown life. Instead, you morph into a university student, standing on the precipice of adulthood: independent and responsible for your own choices, actions, and consequences.” This transition, while liberating, brings with it a complex mix of excitement, anxiety, hope, trepidation, and, sometimes, a touch of homesickness.

Why is this transition so intense?

The transition and its related challenges can be overwhelming for three reasons: independence overload, academic pressure, and social dynamics, notes Dr Meyer. New students will likely experience independence overload, as university marks the first taste of complete independence.

Suddenly, tasks that were perhaps taken for granted at home, like managing finances, cooking wholesome meals, or even mastering the art of laundry, can become monumental challenges which quickly compound. It’s a crash course in adulting, and the learning curve can sometimes be steep. While trying to manage this new injection of independence, increased academic pressure will also enter the chat.

“The shift from a high school curriculum, where learning is often structured and spoon-fed, to rigorous university-level courses can be daunting.

Here, the expectation is to be proactive, selfdriven, and self-reliant. The pressure to excel, maintain scholarships, or even just keep up can weigh heavily on young shoulders. As if that were not enough, students must navigate the new social dynamics at their higher education institution. “Universities and Colleges are not just academic institutions. Campuses are social hives.

They bring together a melting pot of cultures, backgrounds, ideologies and personalities of

people trying to find their tribe while also trying to do their best academically. This diversity is the university’s strength, but it also means that navigating new social circles, understanding different perspectives, and building genuine, lasting relationships can be exciting and challenging.”

Gearing up emotionally Taking into consideration all these new challenges, Dr Meyer advises the following steps to prepare for the new life as a young adult in higher education: Open Conversations: Before making the move, talk to someone who’s been there – it could be a sibling who’s a year or two ahead, a friend who’s already on campus, or a mentor from school. Their experiences, anecdotes, and advice can provide invaluable insights and dispel some myths while also helping you build a mental roadmap of what to expect when you arrive on campus.

Set Realistic Expectations: Popular culture has, in many ways, romanticised university life. While there will be moments that feel like they’re straight out of a movie scene, there will also be mundane days, challenging weeks, and tough semesters. Understand and accept that everyone has their unique journey, complete with their own set of highs and lows.

Seek Support: It’s okay to ask for help. Universities are aware of their students’ emotional challenges and typically offer counselling services, student support groups, and peer mentorship programs. Utilising these resources can make a world of difference.

No matter what your situation, they have seen it all, so don’t be intimated to seek assistance.

Embrace the Change: Change is the only constant in life. Instead of resisting the unfamiliar or longing for the comfort of the known, embrace the change. Every challenge faced, and every mistake made is an opportunity for growth and learning.

Self-Care: Mental wellbeing should never take a backseat.

Self-care should be non-negotiable, whether practising meditation, indulging in a hobby, journaling reflections, or simply taking a weekend off to recharge.

“Despite the challenges and occasional bouts of self-doubt, the university or college experience is undeniably transformative. It’s a time of selfdiscovery, pushing boundaries, forging lifelong friendships, and acquiring knowledge that shapes our worldview. By being emotionally prepared and adopting a proactive approach to mental well-being, students can navigate this phase with resilience and grace, ensuring that the memories made during these years are cherished for a lifetime,” says Dr Meyer.

Take action against bullying!

In light of Anti-Bullying Week that took place from 1317 November, we shed the light against the concerning trend of bullying in schools.

Bullying in schools is a concerning trend. It almost always leads to behavioural problems, diminished academic performance, and unfortunately, even suicide.

“Understanding the impact of bullying on a scholar’s mental health has gained increased importance for teachers, guardians, and parents. This understanding is crucial for the sake of the scholar’s psychological well-being and academic development,” says Nkazimulo Zitha, head of School Achievement at SPARK Schools.

Bullying is defined as unwanted aggressive behaviour and usually occurs when there is a power imbalance between people. When it becomes repetitive, it can inflict significant harm upon the victim.

The five types of bullying: Physical – this is the most common form of bullying. It involves physical actions like pushing, tripping, kicking, hitting, spitting on, or destruction of a child’s property on purpose.

Verbal – these bullies almost always operate when adults are not around. They will make fun of their victims, tease them, call them names, insult them, and verbally intimidate them.

Cyberbullying – this happens in the digital space, on computers, smartphones, social media, texts, and instant messaging.

Relational – this bully is usually set on increasing their own social standing by diminishing the standing of another scholar

through humiliation, spreading lies, and exclusion.

Prejudicial – bullies target factors like race, religion, sexual orientation, or social standing.

Zitha says the long-term effects of bullying on a scholar’s mental health must not be underestimated. “Research has shown that being a victim of bullying can lead to longer-term impacts including interpersonal violence, substance use, sexual violence, poor social functioning, and poor performance. Being bullied at a young age can affect someone well past childhood and can cause lifelong psychological damage,” she says.

Warning signs to look out for if you suspect a scholar in your care is being bullied are changes in sleep patterns, loss of appetite, frequent tears and mood swings, unexplained bruises and scratches, damaged belongings, coming home hungry, not wanting to go to school and deteriorating academic performance.

“Teach your children the difference between bullying and teasing. While the line can be subtle, it’s crucial for them to grasp that persistent teasing can qualify as bullying”.

HOËRSKOOL P.J. OLIVIER Prysuitdeling 19 Oktober 2023 Carissa Henning, Graad 12, het uitstekend presteer die afgelope akademiese jaar. Sy blink nie net uit op akademiese gebied nie, maar is ‘n veelsydige dogter met ‘n wye belangstellingsveld. Sy ontvang ‘n sertifikaat vir eerste klasposisie in Graad 12, beste prestasie in Afrikaans Huistaal, English Home Language, Lewensoriëntering, Visuele Kunst en Wiskunde. Sy behaal ook uitstekende prestasies in Lewenswetenskappe en Fisiese Wetenskappe, die Carinus Kleure toekenning (Visuele Kunste), Goud vir Visuele Kunste (Skilder): Eerste Posisie en Beste Skildery Toekenning.

Carissa ontvang die trofee vir Veelsydigheid. Hierdie trofee word gegee aan die leerder wat aan die meeste verskillende aktiwiteite deelneem. Ons ken hierdie jaar die trofee toe aan ‘n leerder wat duidelik gewys het ‘n mens hoef nie te kies tussen kunstig wees, sportief wees of akademies presteer nie. Carissa het op kultuurvlak deelgeneem aan koor, dans, drama en ook dans en musiek afgerig vir die skool. Op die sportgebied het sy deelgeneem aan atletiek, landloop en verskeie padwedlope. Sy het veral uitgeblink by Johan Carinus se prysuitdeling en verskeie toekennings daar gekry, asook by Nelson Mandela se MathArt kompetisie. Op Akademiese terrein was sy al van Graad 4 elke kwartaal in die Top Vyf en het sy aan verskeie wiskunde en wetenskapkompetisies deelgeneem. Sy is deel van die Full Gospel Church se voorsangers. Sy is ook ‘n aspirant fotograaf.

Carissa word ook aangewys as P.J. Olivier se Dux leerder vir 2023. Hierdie trofee gaan aan die leerder wat vanaf Graad 11 tot 12 die beste akademiese prestasie gelewer het. Carissa het konstant vanaf Graad 4 byna elke kwartaal eerste posisie behaal. Min mense weet egter van die uitdagings wat hierdie leerder stil-stil moes oorkom om steeds akademies te kon presteer. Sy het verskeie leergestremdhede, onder andere ADHD en neurodiversiteit, wat haar ‘n baie groot agterstand gegee het in vergelyking met haar klasmaats. Sy het egter vasgebyt, en alhoewel sy baie skoolwerk verloor het as gevolg van mediese probleme, het sy getrou self die werk ingehaal en nie vir ‘n oomblik toegelaat dat die lewe haar onderkry nie. Carissa is voorwaar vir ons ‘n voorbeeld van hoe ‘n persoon al die struikelblokke wat oor haar pad gegooi is, opgetel het en dit gebruik het om tot bo te klim en te presteer.
