Mental Health


Mental Health


Navigating the path to psychological well-being

Statistics show that today’s college students are facing more complex and severe mental health problems than the students of past decades. Over one-quarter of freshmen feel overwhelmed on a regular basis, and nearly 10 percent struggle with feeling sad and unmotivated. While most students’ problems subside following their freshman year, a significant proportion of students experience chronic levels of distress that won’t subside as time progresses without professional intervention.

Despite the increase in the number of students requiring help, many communities are closing mental health centers, so students have fewer and fewer places to turn for off-campus counseling. This has placed a great strain on the counseling staff on most college campuses.

Money!!!!! Money!!!!!


Money


They say it won’t buy you happiness, but they can’t stop you from trying

The only thing less fun than staying up all night cramming for an exam is knowing that you are paying thousands of dollars for the opportunity to do so. Yes, it sucks that college is so expensive, but it’s probably the best investment you’ll ever make. That old saying is true: you’ve gotta spend money to make money. College graduates earn, on average, over $20,000 more per year than those with only a high school education (and flip over 20,000 fewer burgers).

College is the first time that most young people are in full control of their money. No longer are your parents there to look over your shoulder and scold you about buying those designer jeans (“They came pre-ripped?!”). This heightened financial freedom brings about a need for students to learn to be responsible with their money. After all, that extra $20,000 a year won’t mean much if you graduate owing $150,000 (which some students actually do).
