Stress and Anxiety Reduction: 11/3/09

This workshop was designed to help students cope with the new-found stress that comes with the first semester of college. Though I haven’t found the transition from high school to college to be particularly difficult, this workshop did provide some interesting methods of dealing with stress when it does arise. It concentrated on managing stress levels through logical and sometimes even quirky (the raisin thing) ways as well as avoiding unnecessary issues with people in our lives such as our parents and our friends. I can definitely see why Baruch would attempt to incorporate this type of curriculum into freshman workshops. I recommend it to anyone who has serious stress issues or would simply like to learn about dealing with issues in college.
