What is Stress?
The National Institutes of Health state that "stress can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious." Stress can be both good and bad. Small amounts of stress are good because they keep you motivated. Excessive stress can be harmful physically or psychologically.
It's no secret that attending any college can be a stressful endeavor – a busy schedule to balance, exams to study for, and possibly living away from home for the first time. Remember to eat well, get enough sleep, take time to enjoy life, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need to talk to someone. Here at Carlow, we offer counseling, massage therapy, nutrition and exercise advice, assistance for those with disabilities, and even a therapy dog or two.
