Tips for Managing Stress on Campus

Being a college student in today’s world is stressful. You have to worry about classes, your living situation, whether or not you need to work, making friends, and more. Not only is your day packed with classes and activities, it’s also probably packed with stress. Don’t let stress derail your college experience. Here are five tips for managing stress on campus.

 

Breathe

Yes, you do this every day. But there’s a difference between the breathing our body does to keep us alive, and breathing techniques that can reduce stress and help us relax. While some associate deep breathing with meditation or mindfulness practices, deep breathing techniques don’t have to be that extensive. Even if you take just a minute, you can still reap the benefits of deep breathing.

What are some typical sources of stress for college students and effective coping strategies to manage them?

College students experience stress for various reasons, such as relationships, schoolwork, community, financial, extracurriculars, and health. I’ve experienced each of these stressors throughout my academic journey — and continue to. Although some stress is motivational, other types of stress can negatively impact coursework and mental health.
