A thou sand tiny knots twist and turn inside your stomach. Your hands moisten with anxiety and your brain clogs with a hundred thoughts at once. Stress is a powerful thing. For me, in the moment before I thought I was going to explode, all it took to c~lm my nerves was playing a demanding game of fetch with a very happy dog. Repeatedly, I took the ball from her mouth and tossed it across the room. As boring as this may seem, I swear it was therapeutic. . I am not saying that everyone should run to the animal shelter and pick up a pooch. What I am saying is 'that sometimes it takes something as simple as throwing a beat-up tennis ball to a slobber ing ball of joy to rela~. It is amazing how such a sim 'ple act can be a lifesaver in a time of emotional frailty. Just as people experience stress for dif ferent reasons, they also hav.e different ways to deal with it. · College is a time of fun and freedom, but it is also a time of pressure and tension. Exams, breakups and embarrassing moments at the bars are tftnes when. relaxation seems like a .fantasy. But, whether it be lis- . ;i'tening to a favorite song, goirig on a shopping spree or calling home .to Mom, it is up to us ~o find something that helps us unwind and reduce the stress in our lives. Mental Health It seems that people are much more. concerned about their physical health than their mental health. Taking care of your body is a smart thing to do, but so is taking care of your head. Emotional problems are on the minds of many Chico State University students. This issue of Dimensions explores some of the problems that students face and, more importantly, how they can get help. Stress, homesickness, eating disorders and depression are only a fraction' of what students deal with during their college careers, but taking advantage of campus resources means that these issues don't have to take control of their lives.

Freshman Freshman Musical Theatre Liberal Studies , 02 The Orion August 30, 2000 ~ Dorms are no place like homel, II> Leaving fanl~liar surroundings can o cause students to feel the pangs of ~ homesickness during college years KELLIE MCCARTHY StaffWriler A young woman makes her way through the crowd of unknown faces as she moves toward her next class. She wants to stop and visit with someone, but no face is famil iar. With her hands in her pockets, she swallows a lonely lump and continues walking. Who is this girl? She is everyone. She is anyone who has ever felt homesick, and she is not alone. "Everyone feels homesick at some point in time," said Deborah Genilo, a counselor at the Psychological Counseling Center. "I usually tell people to get into some thing, and give it a semester. For some students, leaving home is too much. But most times I see them a few months later happy and adjusted." Some students are homesick right after leaving their families. However, they often don't experience home sickness until after the excitement of something new has worn off. "Once someone leaves their comfort zone, homesick ness usually sets in," said Van Sipanya, a senior intern at the Wellness Center. Students express their feelings by becoming submissive en and spending an unusual amount of time in isolation. Once students leave home there is the expectation that they are supposed to be adults. Some students feel like they z have "failed if they feel at all homesick," Sipanya said. De' Aunta Richmond, a resident adviser at Lassen Hall, said other students may try to hide their homesickness by "partying the hardest to be the coolest." Richmond said he drank excessively to try and fit in until his attempt to fit in had turned into a bad habit. Although homesickness is usually temporary, it can manifest itself in other ways. Students who are home The Orion/SCOn CARLTON I sick generally feel like they don't have any friends and I don't belong.
