Dealing With Stress

I think most of my stress might come from my the major I chose. I knew Print Journalism would have a lot of writing (I mean its obvious) but I don't think I was prepared for the amount I've been given. This, on top of English, has led me to write nine essays in the past week. Inversely, I've probably gotten less than 9 hours of sleep in the past week. An overstatement, but I digress. I think the freedom might also be a stressor. Almost everything I do and almost every choice I make is up to me, and finding the willpower to make the write decisions is pretty difficult, and stressful. My friends are imposing some needless stress on me. They're all Bio majors and quietly lose their minds every night as they try to complete lab reports and other assignments. This in turn puts stress on me, because it feels unnatural to not have the same amount and type of work that they do. This blog itself is also stressing me out. I'm pretty sure I've missed just about every deadline for a post but hey, better late than never. I'm not sure if the stress ever stops, but I always get my assignments done. I eventually just say to myself, "Okay, seriously, do some work." and then bam... I'm on a roll. I just need to learn to take these stressors head on, because letting them pile up only makes it worse.
