The stress of being a successful student is a pressure
many students must learn to deal with, particularly as
they advance through high school and higher educa-
tion.
Handling the stress
of beiing a student
In light of the country's economic downturn, few
topics are as prevalent as stress. In the course of the
last year, many families have suffered the loss of their
income, and many more have even lost their homes.
The reality of a recession always illustrates the prob-
lem of stress. But for the nation's students, stress is a
reality that, unlike economic woes, is more permanent
than it is temporary. Handling stress is a large part
of being successful in the classroom, particttlarly as
students advance through high school and into higher
education. But handling stress is different for everyone,
and there are myriad healthy ways in which students
can cope with stress.
" Combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. Studies
abound as to the mental benefits of exercise. Exercise
not only improves a person's physical health, but also
has a positive impact on mood, oftentimes making it
easier to cope with stress. Part of that is because exercise
relieves muscle tension, which can build up greatly in
individuals suffering from significant stress. In addi-
tion, the negative effects of stress can be weight gain
and other damaging physical effects, making exercise
especially important for those under constant stress.
While a healthy diet can be difficult for the nation's
college students, that doesn't mean it isn't important.
Recognizing that, many of the nation's universities have
increased their efforts to provide students with healthier
fare at dining halls or other campus eateries. Students
should take advantage of this whenever and wherever
possible. Eating well can also help reduce stress, as a
balanced diet will provide both the energy and nutrients
necessary to handle a full load.
* Learn to take a breather. Adults often take breaks
when going through the daily grind, and students should
make note and follow suit. Studying for too long without
taking a break can be counterproductive, as concentra-
tion will begin to wane after too long, making it increas-
ingly difficult to soak in studies. Schedule breaks into
each study sesssion, whether it's to go for a walk, jog or
simply fit in a healthy meal. But don't allow break time
to become too big a distraction.
® Determine the root cause of the stress. Work is typi-
cally the root cause of adult stress, and school is often
the cause for students. Many students stretch them-
selves too thin, hoping to gain as much as they can from
their high school or college experience and therefore
filling their schedules. But students who feel as though
they're being pulled in too many directions should drop
an activity or two. For instance, playing a varsity sport
while holding down a part-time job and having a full
courseload is simply doing too much. If a class is get-
ting to be too much to handle, students should consult a
teacher and explain the situation.
* Don't be afraid to speak about stress. Many stu-
dents find it healthy and rejuvenating to simply speak
about their levels of stress. This helps to get things off
their chest, and it also inadvertently gives them time
away from studies. Be it sharing experiences with stress
among fellow students or simply talking to Mom and
Dad, students should speak about stress in an effort to
combat its ill effects.
Adjustments can make multiple
scleresis manageable
Simple accommodations, such as organizing a workspace
or rescheduling tasks that require exertion, can help people
with multiple sclerosis (MS) perform more efficiently, or
even continue working at all.
Sometimes simple adjustments can bring substantial
relief, including a more economically designed workplace,
or adjusting the work schedule according to the patient's
capabilities. Employers may relocate an employee's work-
space to reduce the need to walk, for instance.
"It is important that patients understand disease-associ-
ated limitations, and that a certain workload may become
increasingly difficult to manage as the disease progresses,"
says Dr. Olaf Stuve, assistant professor of neurology at UT
Southwestern Medical Center. Similarly, educating co-
workers about MS can help avoid frustration on the side of
the patient and his or her colleagues.
Symptoms of MS vary, but one of the most common is
fatigue, which can worsen during certain hours of the day.
Employers should try to schedule tasks that require physi-
cal exertion accordingly, while the patient can adjust the
schedule of his or her medications.
MS is a chronic, often disabling disease that affects the
central nervous system. An estimated 400,000 Americans
have it, with most being diagnosed between the ages of 20
and 40. Approximately two-thirds of the cases are women.
Symptoms may be mild, such as tingling, numbness or
fatigue, or severe, such as paralysis or vision loss.
