by Robert Mraovich Over the year, stress was a constant companion of many students. Few people denied that they had it, and many knew they had too much of it. The question that juniors had to answer was how to cope with stress. Many causes lay at the heart of juniors' stress. Course work often caused many to lose sleep, while jobs stressed other juniors. Because the causes were ambiguous, however, many juniors ignored them and focused on coping with the symptoms of stress. Some felt that the only way to get rid of stress was to relax. "I sleep," remarked Rugigana Kavamahanga. '1t relaxes me." Others felt that outbursts relieved their stress. However, some outbursts proved harmful in the long run. "I hit things," said Shelly Salopek, "That's why I was in the hospital last week." Many people participated in various sporting activities to relieve stress. "I love to fish," commented Jim Stout. Others literally ran away from stress. "I run,"
said Desiree Julia. Participation was not the only way sports could help. Some students took a more relaxed approach. "I follow sports," explained ZachShotland. Some denied that they had any stress at all. "I don't have stress," proclaimed Szymon Letowski, "Things don't bother me." Others knew they had stress, but did not know how they dealt with it. "I don't know," Andrew Frisque replied, "but I do deal with stress." Music assisted many in the quest for a stress-free life. Wayne Miller said, "I play my electric guitar." Greg Long preferred a more passive form of relaxation: "I like listening to music." Finally, games provided adequate relaxation for many. "Ilike role-playing games with good story lines," said Jon Rideout. Dave Wisniewski agreed, "Games are the best way to relax." Dealing with stress became a full-time job for many juniors. Methods of relieving stress differed greatly, but the need to deal with stress remained strong.
