When making the transition from high school to college, the prospect of a new workload and new levels of stress can be daunting. Coupled with the effects of the pandemic, stress can lead to missed deadlines, anxiety and other negative mental health effects.
However, with proper expectations and management, you can reduce the negative impact stress has on your college career. Here are a few tips on how to manage and reduce stress levels.
Set a regular study schedule
In high school, there is little flexibility; classes take place eight hours a day, and you have to squeeze homework, a part-time job and any extracurriculars into the few remaining evening hours. In college, classes take up far fewer week-day hours, meaning that students are left largely up to their own devices when it comes to creating a study schedule.
Sextortion arrest: Bensalem man used social media to harass, extort girls, authorities say

BENSALEM, Pa. - A Bucks County man is facing a long list of charges for his alleged role in multiple sextortion cases they say targeted young women and minors as young as 12.
Bensalem Township police say their investigation begin in Oct. 2020 when they received a report that a juvenile was harassed and threatened via Snapchat. Police say an unknown subject had threatened to post naked pictures of the girl if she did not send more naked pictures to him.
In Feb. 2021, Snapchat provided a specific IP address that they say was used by the subject in that case and traced it back to a residence on the 3600 block of Skyline Drive in Bensalem Township.
We’re counting the hours to that first drink of the day; going for an extra scoop rice or bowl of ice cream (maybe both); binge-watching, whatever; staring at our phones or email instead of working out or calling a friend. We’ve got less money, more stress and aren’t really sure how we feel.
Some mental health experts in Hawai‘i compare the pandemic to a magnifying glass: It’s amplifying existing problems and sharpening the focus on fractures in relationships at home, at work and across our community.
“If there was something there, then it scratched away the surface,” says mental health advocate Kathleen Rhoads Merriam, who has worked in the mental health field for 36 years.
