As a college or university student, there are expectations placed on you that may be new to you. School assignments combined with the responsibilities of living on your own can cause stress.

• Some stress is normal and is actually good for you, especially if it motivates you to do your work and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Too much stress can be harmful to your health. Be sure to check in with yourself and your education counsellor.
• Deep breathing exercises and mindfulness can help you manage daily stressors.
• Do not be afraid to talk about your stress or anxieties with people you trust.
