Managing College Anxiety Effectively

College anxiety hits different when deadlines pile up and your chest tightens at 2AM.

Here's what actually works. Box breathing saved me during finals week.

Inhale four counts, hold four, exhale four, hold four. Repeat until your

heartbeat slows. Break assignments into fifteen minute chunks. Suddenly that paper

feels manageable. And listen, talking to campus counseling changed everything for me.

Reaching out isn't weakness, it's the bravest thing you'll do. Your mental health

matters more than any grade ever will.
