My midterm video project was kind of a flop, so this time around I plan on making my final video blog truly representative of the great work I am capable of.
In order to receive a noteworthy grade on this project, I have to demonstrate college-level thinking. I plan on incorporating this into my video by splitting it into four different parts: factors that typically cause college students stress, the signs that you may be over-stressed, how to manage/alleviate your stress, and the health risks that people who do not manage their stress tend to face.
I wanted to do something more than simply listing facts about stress. I wanted to make it relatable to the college students who will be watching this video. I will have visual representations of each situation for viewers to see. A friend of mine volunteered to act out all of the stressful experiences that people in college encounter every day. I feel that this tactic will make my video extremely understandable. Also, the cause and effect aspect of it will make it very easy for viewers to see that they do the same things every day that are causing them to be stressed. My video will show them both outcomes depending on whether they attempt to handle their stress now or let it get the best of them in the long run.
By showing the pattern of events that occur in a college student's life that can either positively or negatively affect them later on, I feel that I am demonstrating higher-level thinking. I am trying to show my peers that if they can get their stressors under control now with exercise, eating right, etc., they will be healthier in the future. If they cannot manage their stress today, it can lead to many health risks and depression later on. I want everyone to know what resources they have available to them on campus as well so that they can have happier lives with less stress.
