text: how many people are working their way through college? any advice on stress relief?   i worked on campus getting my undergrad and while finishing my m.ed. i work in the schools. stress relief is perhaps on a day off from work/school (yes i know its hard) take a break from those hours of studying if possible and go shopping or get a massage. i'd not advise it right before finals or a big project *grins* perhaps if you go to school away from home, try to get monday assignments done before going home for the weekend and just enjoying being with family. be serious about your job, but if its not the area you plan to work in after college, just keep telling yourself its only for a little while. look what i'm accomplishing and where i won't have to work until i retire. that's a stress relief in itself.
