College is often thought of as an exciting time with new freedoms and independence. However, over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of college students experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.   In a recent study done by The American Institute of Stress, 8 out of 10 college students have said they experience “high levels” of stress, while 60% of students also reported high levels of anxiety. 

Although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t as severe as it once was, there are still systems in our society that have yet to come back to normal. An example of this is our education system.   Blind-sided by the pandemic, schools quickly went to online learning which led to different curriculum, different activities and different systems of grading. Although we are done with nationwide zoom classes, many classes still offer hybrid options, online tests and flexible deadlines.
