Abstract
College can be an extremely stressful time for many students especially the first year. There can be many stressors weighing on students giving them an overwhelming feeling. For instance, “Before the pandemic, “60% of U.S. students felt ‘overwhelming’ anxiety, while 40% experienced depression so severe they had difficulty functioning... Suicidal thinking, severe depression and rates of self-injury among U.S. college students more than doubled over less than a decade” (Druckenmiller, 2022). I chose to talk about mental health and wellness because this is something that everyone will have some problems with at some point, but if you are prepared and know how to combat these problems you can overcome them. I wanted to give my COR students the tools they need to combat these stressors and feelings as well as letting them know they are not alone.
