Stress
Stress, a college students worst enemy.
In an average day, I hear at least two students on campus tell me that they are stressed out, over worked, or so tired that they think they are going to pass out before they get back to their room. Even the best planner and time manager can find themselves stressed out in college.
Some students get sick, others look like zombies, and then there are the ones that fall asleep in class. I know I tend to get sick all the time soon as I get too stressed and half the time I can’t remember when was the last time I ate something. I know my sisters keep telling me that they don’t sleep… for days. Some live off of coffee.
Now, how to get rid of it. Some students play sports, aka, basketball or rugby. Others sleep or drink a bunch of coffee. I listen to a ton of music in my room while playing computer games or messing around on my Ipod Touch. Talking really helps. Just getting everying out in the open can really be a huge relief! I think that one of my favorite things on campus when its getting close to exam week is when the counciling center brings animals for the students to pet and play with to relieve stress.
Stress is a given when it comes to college. This is the first time most people are away from home to live and go to school. For some, like me, the first time that we have to start paying bills. The costs are high for some, while for others college was forced on them. It is how a person handles the stress that makes all the difference in the end.
Alright, I really need to get back to my 30 page study guide.
