College Stress: Continued

Students on Michigan State's campus are trying to balance their social lives and academics while maintaining a job and planning for their future goals.


“Keeping grades up, getting all of your extracurricular in, and finding time to eat, sleep, and have friends; it’s a lot of stress to fit all of that into 24 hours,” MSU senior Colin Lesoski said.

Most students are going through some of the same stresses and can relate when they talk about some of the major differences they faced transitioning from high school to college. 

The work load just seems impossible and some students feel that professors just don't care.

There are huge lectures containing about 400 or more students and one professor can only do so much for a person unless you're in their office begging for extra credit every week. 

To destress and keep from pulling their hair out, some students have gained daily routines of their own that relaxes their nerves.

Although you may hear/read all kind of things about the college lifestyle from the outside looking in, it is a completely dreadful but amazing experience and you just have to witness it for yourself!

Trafficking is a modern slavery that often involves a person being taken unwillingly or held captive with minimum food, labor with no pay, and sometimes sexual abuse. From the 136 cases actually reported in Michigan: 120 of those victims were females, 14 were male and less than 3 were gender minorities.

College Student Stress

Stress is known to be apart of any normal person's life-cycle whether it is money issues or a near and dear death in the family, but no sample of stress has the same characteristics as another.
