She thought college was full of friends and parties, but it wasn't.
Bergmann, then 17 and a Fine Arts major from Montclair, New Jersey, was given the challenge to depict a"transformation" for her class."I knew I would only enjoy making the video if the subject I was showing was something I had strong feelings about," Bergmann told TODAY Parents.
In her resulting video, Bergmann talks about how she assumed that college would mean"I was going to have a million friends, that I was going to be going to parties all the time," but that hasn't been her reality. Instead, she said, she spends a lot of time in her dorm room, and despite everyone telling her"You're going to find your people," she hasn't yet."Like, where are they?" she asks in the video.
The turning point for Bergmann came when her mother, Meredith, wrote her a letter saying Emery has nothing to fear because everyone goes through what she is going through now, and she herself thought about transferring from her college when she was in her first semester. That helped her feel less alone, Bergmann said.
"My mother's letter made me so much more comfortable with being uncomfortable," Bergmann said."College has a big learning curve, so just being willing to talk openly about your experiences can only help."
