Discussion: Dealing With Stress

The book describes many different types of stress. For college students there can be an overwhelming amount of stress. Stress of paying tuition, buying books, managing a job around classes, or even trying to maintain a personal relationship while going to school can all be very stressful. Pick a particular stress that may relate to you and discuss ways you help yourself cope with it (you don't need to get too personal). Respond to 2 peers as well.
