Managing stress is something you see in countless leaflets across universities. How to cope, who to talk to, the usual generic phrases. I try to avoid the conventional advice and manage my life in my own erratic mind. February, for me personally, is one of those months which offers nothing but morbid misery and depressing days of demands. You wake up in the morning (or alternatively afternoon) with high hopes for the day, ready to tackle coursework, take on the world. But five minutes into your first lecture and you realise with predictable trepidation that you haven't brought in the 'exciting news article' you were supposed to. Guess I should have set that alarm a bit earlier.... In lulls such as this, it is crucial to have positive notes, fun events to give you a boost and a buzz. This week? Despite my crushing dissertation woes, this Sunday is a 'day of football reckoning'. The two teams I support, Chelsea and Aberdeen, have two huge game to look forward to. The Dons are away at Parkhead in a title clash, while Chelsea are at Wembley against Tottenham in the League Cup final. What a brilliant, booze-filled day to look forward to. Then my brain sways again. Dissertation, coursework. I am also running in the Student Elections soon, which requires a lot of time, thought and organisation. What if I cannot order my flyers on time? What if I cannot find motivation for my dissertation? What if? What if? The plague that is the word 'if' is one that drags me down on a daily basis. Do I have the capacity to deal with what is going on in my life? Unknown, to be confirmed. I relish challenges, make no mistake. But trying to deal with many things or 'multi-tasking' is not as easy a job as one may think. The whole point I am trying to make here is: no matter how many booklets on stress you see, no matter how much generic advice you here, everyone has different ways of dealing with it. It is not something you can throw a Google search at and expect to be resolved by search result 11. It is just is an almighty strain which we have to try and deal with. At the moment, I am doing my best. But for that one evening when I open a beer and watch Luis Suarez bite his latest victim, I know I am in my own little bubble which no one can burst. That positive energy you get off the joys in your life is something to be treasured. Don't let it go.
