For Everyone Who Loves a College Student

College isn’t just textbooks and pizza rolls.
It’s late-night questions like:

“Am I failing at everything?”
“Why does everyone else seem like they’ve got it together?”
“Is it just me?”

Here’s something most students never hear in orientation:

✨ Your thoughts aren’t facts. Your feelings aren’t final. ✨

Just because a thought feels true (“I’m not good enough,” “Everyone is judging me”) doesn’t mean it is true. Sometimes it’s just your mind turning into a full-blown drama major.

A few of the mental traps:

1️⃣ The Mind-Reader Fallacy
“Someone looked at me. They must be judging me.” → Or maybe they just remembered they left their AirPods at home.

2️⃣ Catastrophizing
One bad quiz = “I’m going to fail the class.” → Nope. Zoom out.

3️⃣ Personalization
Roommate is quiet = “They’re mad at me.” → Or hungry. Or scrolling TikTok. (It happens.)

Rooted and Real – College Edition helps students separate what’s true from what’s temporary. It validates what they feel without letting those feelings become the full story.

If you know a college student navigating all the change, pressure, and inner noise… this was written for them.
