I am not the only one who struggles with anxiety on campus. It is something that affects almost every student to some degree, yet it is rarely talked about. As students studying at the same university with the same intentions of bettering our education, it would be to our benefit to talk about these issues and collectively support each other to overcome our challenges. I often hear my peers and other students on campus talk about how “I only got three hours of sleep last night lol,” or “all I have eaten today is a muffin.” While these casual remarks might seem funny at first, the ominous undertones in these statements are deeply problematic. I notice these unfortunate remarks almost every day now, whether it is while I am eating lunch with a friend or overhearing a conversation in a coffee shop. I actively try to understand what my friends are going through, and help them with productive conversations about ways to de-stress, get things done, and relax. This is a conversation that I want to share with more people beyond my inner circle, which is why I chose to create this project. I interviewed three students on campus to get a better sense of their personal struggles and how they cope with their stress and anxiety. I found that it is difficult for people to open up about these issues, which is why it is not talked about as much as it should be. While it is understandable that one would not want to share their darkest insecurities with a stranger, we should feel comfortable confiding and sharing our fears with our classmates and friends. I interviewed people with whom I am acquainted with in my everyday life. I found that having a connection or trust with that person allows us to learn more about them and their struggles because we are both more open. In these pages, I am giving you the experience of getting to know me and my friends, without actually meeting us in the hope that you and others will learn from our stories.
