For anyone, it seems like the world today is just constantly full of bad news and distractions and stress. For college students, it is even more so, because there is the constant pressure of work and figuring out who and what you are going to be. There are standards to be met, and homework and assignments piling up. The world can become just a bit too much to handle sometimes. However, if we try to look at the little things we do have, it can make a world of a difference for our stress levels and our attitudes.
