"All the cool without the drool"
 
Picture
I think, in one way or another, we all suffer from some sort of stress or stress-related symptoms (especially us college students). As a junior in college, the degree of difficulty in all my classes is actually a lot easier than I expected it to be, but the workload in all my classes is enough to end my days with cramped hands and bloodshot eyes. Add lacrosse 6 days a week to my schedule, throw in working out on my own; that leaves my whole body shot. Add in time for my girlfriend...when the hell am I supposed to sleep? 

I find myself, every Sunday (and even on this great American Sunday...Superbowl Sunday), wishing I did my work throughout the week so it didn't all pile up. I can't even count the number of cups of coffee I drank throughout the week on one hand (sometimes I consider caffeine my alternative medication, but my doctor thinks otherwise), and I often ponder the suicide rate among college students, and how come I haven't jumped off a bridge yet. To prevent myself, and my peers, from leaping off the Ben Franklin into the Delaware, I'm on a quest to find out what LVC has or what LVC does to help its students through stressful times. Whether it be weekend entertainment, student counseling services or fitness classes, or if students out there are doing their own thing to de-stress, I will find it. When coffee just isn't doing the trick and you're inches away from ripping your hair from your head, tune in to check out what people around you are doing and how they keep going in their most stressful times. Maybe you'll find your alternative medication
