| How to Minimize Your Chances of Becoming Depressed in College |

Every fall I get nostalgic for college. I usually give in to the impulse to sign up for an adult learning class. I think last year it was jewelry making. The year before, we lived in the middle of nowhere, so I took an online course. Now that I'm working at a large university, my college nostalgia is mostly satisfied by just being at work forty hours a week. Despite my (undiagnosed) depression, I really loved college. I cried for about half an hour after my parents left me at my dorm and went home (I think my mom cried longer). I had never been very good at being away from home and my parents, but for some reason the homesickness didn't last at college. That night I went out with friends to all the MIT and Boston College fraternity parties, and my college life was off and running.
