MSU Students and students in the community gave their input
on how work and school creates unwanted stress in their lives. Tyra Cooper, MSU
student, said that she handles stress by telling herself its just a job.
Students Vanessa Valezaquez and Aaron Tucker, a LCC student, gave advice on handling stress as
well. Velazquez suggested quitting work or taking a break and Tucker suggested
connecting yourself to people or things that keep you balanced. Overall
students expressed that although its working and being a student gets hard,
they tend to manage themselves. The following tips from Dartmouth University’
Academic Skills Center were also given:
• Add balance to
life; don't overdo studies or play.
• Know and accept
what kind of person you are: strengths and weaknesses.
• Get a thorough
physical exam.
• Take "time
outs", especially during study.
• Expand your
support network, reinforce friendships.
• Exercise
regularly.
• Watch your
breathing.
• Walk loosely
and walk more.
• Learn and
practice relaxation skills.
• Study each
subject regularly for moderate periods of time.
• Discuss
problems with friends, family, dean or counselor.
