I really enjoyed your post, a lot of the things you talked about it exactly why I did not go away to school because of being so far away from my family. I would liked for you to explain your story with your friend because I think that it would be a nice "touch" to your post.
I agree with Tabby about telling a litle more about your friend. I also think you should credit the original writer/site of those tips. You should also be prepared to write a little more explanation about the list than "There are many more symptoms, but here are some reasons why college students get depressed."
A good post format (and stronger grammar) but a little bare-boned.
4/5
I really like how you did your posts. I agree with you about the whole depression thing in college students. Some people can not even understand why college students are so stressed out or depressed. They think we are a bunch of kids partying and enjoying college life. Thanks for telling them other wise. Great job!!!
