The four people that complained are behind a computer, and don't care about the thoughts and feelings of others. You responding how you are lets them win. Ignore them. I know it is hard, but they make comments like that to get a rise out of folks like you. Just know that there are those of us who know how you feel.
You guys sure assume a lot about us. Fyi, ive been through multiple collegiate finals weeks and i assure you there's much, much higher levels of stress out there. One day you too will realize how much about life you dont know and things will begin to get clearer.
Real stress is when you have to decide whether to pay the mortgage/rent, gas/electricity, or (no ands) feed your kids! By the way, I'm a married guy that works for a living and didn't abandon my wife and kids, so don't give me any shit about being a deadbeat dad.
I don't know what stress is? I've been a volunteer firefighter before. I've also served in the military. I know what stress is, and it is pretty cool to see that there are places that do things like this. Not only does it relieve stress, but it puts you with various others who are going through similar things as you. It generates bonds via different experiences that were bred from the same common factors. Look beyond the black and white areas, folks. Look at the grey areas. Not everybody goes through the exact same thing, but we all experience the same emotions. Some people naturally have problems with studying. Some people have legitimate fears of taking tests. Teachers put quite a bit of pressure on students to pass test about things that not everyone understands. It was like that when I was in high school, and I finished in 2004. So back off of the people that struggle. I'm sure that there are things that you have struggled with that other people do with ease, and it is frustrating.
We have therapy dogs on campus always during finals/midterms and just taking like ten min to cuddle a doggo is awesome like you get to pet like 6 different doggos and it's like YESSSSSS
Finals stress is very real, but hey everyone who says that college students are just crybabies because they're stressed probably never even went to college >;)
We have petting dogs as a stress dealing mechanism at ours. That's nice but I'd rather have cats to pet lol.

They actually had the same thing at my school last semester. We also got to play with puppies which were really just rescued full-grown dogs (some were missing limbs/ears/eyes poor cuties), we got to color, get massages, and drink tea and hot chocolate. I think all schools should try this. Not just for the stress but to really just have something for them to enjoy and keep their minds off things. Finals are important but there's no point in all that studying if you're so nerve wracked during the test that you end up fucking up.
Wasting your time that day playing with Lego and colouring... gonna be more stressed when exams come and you don't shit. Could've spent that time revising more
You had my undivided attention at "Lego Table."
Final grades are not the main cause of constipation. However, high stress can lead to less frequent bowel movements
