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.

College students take on the stresses of living a completely different lifestyle when they leave their parent's nest and enter what seems like a new world for them.

According to the 2015 National College Health Assessment 30 percent of students have reported a negative performance academically due to stress.

Class, exams, campus organizations, family, friends, parties, work, internships, and don't forget the eight-page essay due on Monday morning!

These are just some of the rambling thoughts that goes through a college student's mind, not to mention any financial problems or conflicts they have following from home.

But David Sneed, Director of Growth and Purpose for Students at Belmont University, said "saying 'no' is a great stress reducer."

So many students get caught up in taking on that full college experience in such a short amount of time, it would be easy for them to lose their minds trying to do everything at once.

Flint Beecher v.s. DEPSA 2017 Class C semi-finals

The boys who are back to back state champions from Flint Beecher High School head to the Breslin Center at Michigan State University again for the seventh time out of eight years today. This Class C semi-final game will tip off at 1p.m and be a face-off between Detroit Edison Public School Academy with a season record 15-11 and Flint Beecher 21-5 . After DEPSA's girl basketball team won a state title of their own last Saturday, the boys plan to do the same after the defeat of Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central for the advancement of their first state semifinal in school history . Both of these teams have something to prove today with the Beecher Bucs going for the 3peat they lost their chances at in 2014 and the Detroit Pioneers making history in attempt to bring home their first state championship.

Review of Flint Beecher v.s DEPSA 2017 Class C Semifinals

Flint Beecher defeated Detroit Edison 76-68 in the Class C semifinals heading to the state championship for the third year in a row . The game started off a little shaky for the bucs in the first quarter when Edison wouldn't let the team score a bucket. Shots were being blocked left and right. In the second quarter AP Class C Player of the Year Malik Ellison finally started to find his groove and went on a scoring streak for the rest of the game. Once Beecher landed its first lead in the second quarter, things went left for Detroit Edison. Fouls began to pile up as Beecher went to the free throw line continuously and the pioneers trailed for the remaining of the game. Although Edison didn't get a chance to bring home a state title like their girl's basketball team did last Saturday, they put their unknown program on the map  just by reaching the semi-finals. Flint Beecher (22-5) will take on Grand Rapids Covenant Christian  (21-5) for the Class C State Title on...

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 ner...
