Life can be stressful sometimes to say the least. Everyone is different and faces different struggles at different times and stages in life and we all handle them differently. Life happens and nothing can stop the inevitable march of time. We have to just roll with the punches and go with the flow, but who says that we have to do it all alone? Instead of talking about their problems, sadly some people turn to less healthy coping strategies.
Attending college can bring its own set of challenges. There is the issue of money, making and keeping friends, making detailed plans of what and when to study, working jobs, keeping in touch with family and making them proud, and trying to make time for yourself. The list of things to stress over seems to be endless.
