Pressure is something we all face... But how do we actually go about combatting it? Especially in college, this can be tricky. This week, Meredith brings in a few of her personal experiences dealing with pressure in college to show you that you're NOT alone if you're facing it and that there are ways to get past it. She first talks about the pressure to succeed academically, and then gets into the social side by speaking on the pressures to look and act a certain way in college. Whatever pressures you might be facing, let this episode remind you that you're not the only one and that it's perfectly okay. :)
