How can I effectively build a support system around me in college to hold myself and others accountable and on track in school while still maintaining/prioritizing my mental heath?

I have struggled to hold myself accountable in the past and have realized that I need a support system to expedite or ease the struggles of life but I've been having trouble finding these connections and breaking out of ones that have rendered my success in the past.

Jerome’s Answer

You could start by talking with your professor. They may have study groups or additional support they can offer you. I’d highly recommend that you connect with a few of your classmates and try to find time to study as a group. I often remind myself that the effort I put in today will help get me closer to the future that I’ve always wanted. Remembering that you only cheat yourself by not putting in the effort can be a good reminder.

This is a really good question Jalen. My son had the same challenges in school. Finding classmates that you have something in common with can help with finding the right support system. Coming out of your shell and joining study groups or clubs can be helpful as well. Don’t go at it alone. Don’t isolate yourself. Network until you find the right fit. Let your guard down. Be honest and transparent. You’ll find the right people to connect with. You’ll find the courage to put in the work and hold yourself accountable.
