Pressure- exams, papers, meeting new people, obtaining loans, building a resume, dealing with choices that will affect one for a lifetime. Pressure (literally and figuratively) is all around us. And how we deal with stress and pressure can sometimes define our lives.
There are multiple ways of dealing with stress. Option one - avoiding pressure- by setting up a schedule, setting priorities, and not procrastinating. But for most college students, this is an option that is unattainable due to our deep desire to be lazy.
That leaves us with the other option- coping with our stress. How we choose to cope with our stress can impact our health and our future. We can let the situation control us, and run away from the problems by smoking, zoning out for hours in front of the TV, over-eating, or drinking to excess. Or we can control the situation and go work out, savor a warm cup of coffee or tea, or listen to music.
