Psychological Adaptation to the New Rhythm of Student’s Life

On March 3, 2025, at 12:00 p.m.  the Department of Foreign Philology and Translation of the Faculty of Philology organized an advisory educational hour for  the first-year students of the 6B02304 – Translation Studies (Western Languages) major. The event took place within the framework of the SDG 3 "Good Health and Well-Being" and   was dedicated to the topic: "Psychological Adaptation to the New Rhythm of Student Life" and was conducted by a specially invited psychologist, Temirlan Beketovich Turlykhozha. A. Beken, a PhD student of Foreign Philology, and G. Sh. Akimbekova, a candidate of philological sciences were the main organizers of the event.
The aim of the advisory hour was to support  the students in adapting to new life conditions—the university environment, the educational process, and social interactions. The event  aimed at enhancinh their emotional resilience, stress resistance, and self-organization skills, helping them achieve success in both academic and personal development. During the event, the psychologist conducted several interactive activities:
"Getting to Know Time" in which the  stuudents paired up and exchanged interesting facts about themselves, which they later shared with the group. This game helped create a trusting atmosphere and facilitated better acquaintance among participants.
"Storytelling": one student began a story about student life, and others continued it in turn. This activity helped develop creative thinking and free speaking skills.
Another game was aimed at boosting students’ self-esteem. After the game, the psychologist facilitated a discussion with questions such as: How did this activity make you feel? How do you assess yourself in stressful situations? How can you increase your self-confidence?
During the advisory meeting, the students explored ways to adapt to the new rhythm of university life. With the support of the psychologist, they analyzed their perception of the new environment and learned stress management techniques, confidence-building strategies, and effective communication skills.
