Stressed Out and Ready to Drop Out? Review

This article broke down what stress is and who gets it, ways people let stress overtake them, and better ways to deal with stress. It seemed well informed and provided a few statistics and helpful links. However, reading it as a currently stressed-out fellow student, it kind of just made me more stressed. Now I'm stressed about being stressed, and if I am dealing with stress in an unhealthy way. One of the ways the article said to reduce stress was through university sponsored events, or taking a break and doing things like playing with puppies. Seems nice. The only thing is who will participate in these events? Students who think they can. If I'm stressed out about my midterms coming up, papers due, and projects to be turned in, the last thing I'll do is take a break to go out, no matter how cute the puppies.The article just seemed like it was coming from someone who wasn't very stressed, or hadn't had a lot of experience with seriously freaking out. The ethos would be a lot stronger if I didn't feel this way about the author.
