Student Stress – Capstone Topic

Posted on by

Well, about a year and a half ago, I ended up in the hospital for severe sleep deprivation. I had insomnia for a while and had a lot of trouble sleeping, and the months of struggling to get the sleep I needed finally took its toll on me. I wasn’t just lacking in sleep, but it was like my brain was so wired up on drugs or something that I had no real sense of the world. I wasn’t on drugs, of course, I couldn’t sleep well. While, today where a lot of my life has vastly changed, I still struggle with stress. It may not give me insomnia, but with everything going on in my life, unpacking because my parents insist it, getting my homework done, going to school, driving three to four hours total every day, and keeping my job amidst it all… stress has become such a constant thing in my life. It’s something many of us can relate to. While a lot of us might not end up in the hospital, specifically in the fashion I did, we all know what stress is and all struggle to keep up in our daily lives without killing ourselves over it. I guess I just wanted to bring more awareness to the issue. I think my two media objects will be an infographic and a remix video. I’m not totally sure on the call to action, maybe bring awareness, or plan a way to contain or mend your stress.
