Coping with College Anxiety

College anxiety doesn't mean you're failing, it means you're human.

When my roommate couldn't leave her dorm for classes, we found simple fixes that worked.

Start with box breathing: four counts in, hold four, out four, hold four.

Use a planner to write three priorities daily, not twenty. If anxiety keeps

you from eating, sleeping, or attending class for more than two weeks,

reach out to campus counseling or text Crisis Text Line at 741741. Getting support

isn't giving up, it's the bravest thing you can do.
