“You have to learn to pace yourself/You’re just like everybody else,”
Billy Joel wrote in his hit song “Pressure.”
For college students this time of year, pressure comes in many forms:
midterms, thesis presentations, choosing classes for the spring, and
finding a way to enjoy college life without breaking the bank any further.
But we’re not here to offer you “Peter Pan advice” or a “cosmic
rationale” — just some helpful ways to cope with the insanity of college
while also finding ways to kick back and relax.
Let’s say you’ve chosen a major and you’re already doubting yourself
about it. It’s only natural to wonder how the degree you pursue will
enable you to find the career that’s not only right for you financially, but
also personally fulfilling.
When you come to that proverbial fork in the road, and you’re not
sure which path to take, reach out to someone for advice. In this issue,
we’ll tell you what you can do when you don’t quite know what to do with
yourself.
Final exams are approaching, and you’re no slacker; you want to ace
that test and show the professor that you have been paying attention.
But you need a comfortable, quiet place to prepare — and let’s face it,
neither the quad nor your dorm room are the fortresses of solitude you
need to hit the books.
Here you’ll find some great places around town where you can cram in
peace and become ready for the big tests.
Seniors know that graduation day is not all that far away, and two
concerns come to mind: How are you going to find a job, and how are
you going to pay off that big student loan? We’ll offer you some tips on
how to ace that job interview, and how to manage your finances so you
can tackle your student debt following graduation without going insane.
Of course, it’s no secret that most college students are already on
tight budgets. We’ll offer you some ways on how you can treat yourself
to some of the finer things in life and stretch your dollars as far as they
can go.
Amid all the craziness of college life, it’s important to stop and find
the time to relax, either by yourself or with good friends. We’ll show you
ways to “Netflix and chill,” the best podcasts to listen to and how to
create a great music playlist. We’ll also take a look at the sports scene
and what to watch out for this fall — from the World Series to the college
football playoffs.
After you go through this issue, we hope you’ll feel a little more relaxed
about things and the pressure will seem just a little bit easier to handle.
Don’t forget what a special time this is in your lives; the future may seem
scary and uncertain, but right now, you’re building great friendships and
learning from knowledgeable professors who have been in your shoes
before. Enjoy this experience.
“This is the time to remember,” as Billy Joel also sang, “‘cause it will
not last forever.”
