College is one of life's most marvelous and enriching experiences, but there's no doubt that it can be a challenge.It's intellectually and creatively challenging, of course. (That's kind of the point!) And there's also a good chance that it's your first experience of independent living. You might also be encountering people and ideas dramatically different from those you grew up with. Today, more than ever, there's pressure. A bad economy makes it even more important to get great grades, get great internships or work-study experiences, and to graduate with a great plan. The competition at every stage is intense, and so is the stress. And social media isn't exactly helping.
