It's Dead Week
 Many students around the world are experiencing Dead Week this week.
For those students who have been working steadily to get big papers
and projects done in increments, Dead Week can be a relatively painless
and somewhat amusing time. But for those who have procrastinated or let
other priorities get in the way of the big projects, it can be a very
stressful time including sleep deprivation, caffeine overloads, hair
pulling, nail biting and anxious thoughts.

25 Ways to Stress Less...
 When you're stressed, it's so tempting to reach for that cigarette,
chill out with a beer, or ransack the Oreo's. We've been taught to be a
consumerist culture, after all. Marketers spend billions of dollars
each year to make sure we know that there's a product out there waiting
to fix all our problems. While there's nothing wrong with businesses
spending money to educate the public about their products and services,
there is plenty wrong with manipulating the public, especially young
people, into believing that stress management can be bought. True
stress management happens when students are empowered with the
knowledge that they are in charge of their own destinies, including how
they manage their stress.

What to Look for in a College - Part Three - Location
The first consideration regarding the location of a college is whether
you want to be near or far from home. The answer to this question is
really up to you and your family and should be easy to determine based
on whether you want to fully experience campus life far from home or
are interested in being able to commute back and forth more than once a
quarter.
