Anti Stress class at FSU?

[Dr. Nole]

"College freshmen offered chance to opt out of anti-stress program if they are too stressed: report"

""Florida State University’s Student Resilience Project, developed by the Institute for Family Violence Studies at the FSU College of Social Work, is a mandatory online program for over 6,000 incoming freshman and transfer students to “help students adjust to campus, improve mental health, increase resilience and reduce stress”.""

Sounds like a good program. I don't see why anyone would be opposed to such a thing.

Any dissent is just "Get Off My Lawn" types ranting and raving over nothing, IMO.

That class was called “Theatre 3000” when I was there.

The only stress I had at FSU was the occasional bad football season, meaning we lost a game or two.

When I was at FSU I had to walk 3 miles each way to take my anti-stress class. Kids are soft these days.

Headline is a bit misleading. You can opt-out if you suffered a recent trauma or are going through counseling already. That is quite different than opting out because you are too stressed. The dean needs to choose his words better if that is an accurate quote of what was said.

Maybe kids should take MORE of their prescription medication instead. Back in the day you handled your own stress or flunked out. Survival of the fittest.

I remember those days...

Okay, I can’t for the life of me remember what the hell the teacher’s name was. Older guy.

Anyone?

Both my kids came in as transfers from the community college....wonder if it is offered to transfer students as well.

Can’t remember, but I know Tommy Wright was the old dude who taught the Music History class everyone took.

I went to that class. That walk was uphill both ways too.

In the snow.

And it was an honor to take his class. That old dude wrote the music for the Fight Song. But that is the band nerd in me talking.

 

[Bill From Tampa]

Do the students have to pay for this course?

You all are soft. I grew up in upstate NY. I walked up hill both ways in 2 feet of snow.

Tommy Wright the legend

 

[F4Gary]

Is there a test at the end? That would stress me out.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

They make you pay for that? I would be livid.

 

[RTM58]

I hear you get one of these at the end.

 

[maddog69]

or this.

That would be correct. World Cities or Wine & Culture also.
