##5. How to figure Out if you are Stressed and if you Need Help

●Life is a balance of every element, including stress. But when stress increases, you'll notice how imbalanced other aspects get. Mood Swings, Relationship problems and inability to concentrate are a few to name.

●A large chunk of the population suffers from anxiety and depression(when you feel sad for no specific reason). There are certain behaviours and emotions that you exhibit when you're stressed. If the stress is persistent, there could be a necessity for you to seek help.

●Four major symptoms of stress include:

#1. Emotional --➤ Moody & Frustrated, Fear of Losing Control,

Experiencing Negative Emotions, Avoiding Others

#2. Cognitive --➤ Feeling Anxious, Isolated, Memory Problems,

Racing Thoughts, Difficulty In Concentration

#3. Physical --➤ Constant Headaches, Chest Pain, Insomnia, High BP,

Low Energy, Body Aches

#4. Behavioural --➤ Anger Outbursts, Binge Eating/Eating Very Less,

Procrastination, Using Alcohol & Drugs

● If you happen to relate to these mentioned symptoms, you definitely need to seek help. Talk to Friends and Family about it. Don't be ashamed to admit and never hesitate to seek professional help !!!

##6. Studying Abroad: The Reality

●If you are someone who is in their 3rd / Final year of college or are just curious, listen up !! The apt time to start preparing for studying abroad is, undoubtedly, the Final Year. But to get an admission into the top universities its better to start planning and preparing from the 1st or 2nd Year since the amount of competition that everyone faces has, recently, become really high.

●Let's say that you have given your GRE and TOEFL (for which, the apt time to start preparing is the 2nd Year according to the observed trend), shortlisted a few colleges and are now deciding which ones to apply to for studying abroad. Short answer: apply to all of them. But Make sure before you give those exams you have thoroughly researched the choices of courses and colleges. Also its a good decision to go through a few domestic job offers as a backup.

●Once you begin studying abroad try getting as many research/project opportunities as possible, even if they don't offer any stipend. Never be enticed to take up off campus jobs which are illegal and try to keep your sole focus on what you actually came to do study but this does not mean that you turn a blind eye to the various internships, co-op and job fairs.

●First of all, if you are any older than 25, drop the plan right away because you'll be studying for two years, an then spending the next two years to earn back the education expense. This, practically, means that you'd be lucky if you've made any actual savings by the time you're close to 30. For the others, it's probably not a smooth road either. You'll be spending hours at the Laundromat, grocery shopping, struggling to cook a decent meal, eating leftovers for weeks and scrounging to save the last penny and having hell of a time trying to manage academics. Also, you'll end up missing home like crazy and the long distance calls to your family and friends are hardly of any help

●This, by no means, encourages any discouragement but to familiarize yourself with the reality is the best way to deal with such a unique and important life experience.
