For Emery Bergmann ’21 — the Cornell freshman whose short film on transitioning into college has gone viral — getting acclimated and finding new friends on campus proved more difficult than she had anticipated. She told The Sun she felt frustrated, lonely and isolated from the large amoebas of students. Social media only intensified her loneliness at Cornell by constantly reminding her of her friends and family back home, she said. “After receiving the letter from my mom, I had my mini-epiphany and realized how unfair I was being to myself and others, expecting everything to work out perfectly in the first two months,” Bergmann told TODAY Parents. “It’s not going to come as quickly as everyone thinks it’s going to.”Her video, on YouTube, has been viewed more than 70,000 times.
