Feeling overwhelmed at East Central Community College - any tips for managing stress?

[KyleAlvarez]

Dealing with senioritis, job hunting, and thesis pressure is no walk in the park. Honestly, what's been helping me cope is prioritizing self-care. Taking a break to enjoy some good ol' Mississippi comfort food, like a plate of fried chicken or some sweet tea, can do wonders for the soul. Also, talking it out with friends who understand the struggle has been a lifesaver.

Hang in there, y'all! We're in this together. Remember to breathe, take it one assignment at a time, and know that it's okay to ask for help when you need it. highkey grateful for this community for having my back during these tough times

I transferred out of ECCC last year but remember that exact feeling. The pressure from all sides is no joke.

One thing that saved me was the counseling services on campus. Free and actually helpful. Have you checked them out? They helped me figure out that half my stress was just not having anyone to vent to.

Also yes to sweet tea!!! Nothing fixes a bad day like sweet tea and someone to complain with. Y'all in Mississippi know how to do comfort food right.
