Managing College Anxiety Effectively

My roommate found me hyperventilating in our dorm closet at 2 AM during finals week.

That night changed everything about how I handle college anxiety. The 4-7-8 breathing

technique saved me - inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8.

Time blocking my schedule instead of cramming reduced my panic attacks by half.

When breathing exercises weren't enough, I finally reached out to campus counseling. Getting help isn't

giving up, it's taking control of your mental health.
