12/4/2019 0 Comments Summary synthesis My Interdisciplinary studies degree title is “Mental Health.” I created this program because it is a combination of the two majors that really interest me and that I would like to learn more about, Health and Psychology. No other program here at Plymouth State is right for me because nothing teaches me the variety of content that I am interested in. Interdisciplinary Studies provides me with the opportunity to combine the best of several subject areas around a single theme and allow me to experience college in a way that interests and inspires me. For my Research Article, I focus on stress in college students and how to reduce it. I decided to research this topic because I am a college student that understands the stress we go through during our 4 years of school. Stress is something that most everyone goes through at some point in their life. A lot of college students are stressed and they don’t know how to get rid of it so most students just deal with it but dealing with this stress for a long period of time can hurt your body and your mental health so it is good to try and reduce it. During this project I was about to research and learn a few different techniques for college students to reduce their stress. These techniques are Meditation, Yoga, Planning/Scheduling and Leisurely activities. This research projects contributed to my education because it widened my knowledge of stress and how it can really affect our mental health. For my Applied Project, I decided to use the information I learned during my research project and put it towards something that will help people. I created a podcast that is directed for college students to help them reduce their stress. The podcast is called "Stress Reducing Techniques for College Students." In this podcast I talked about the different stressors in college students' lives such as juggling classes, projects, work, friends, family, ect. Chronic stress increases the risk of developing depression and anxiety in some people. I chose this topic for this project because I wanted to share some easy, cheap ways college students can reduce their stress.This projects contributes to my education because I am working towards a future where I will help children with mental illnesses. Completing my Interdisciplinary Studies degree has really taught me so much, from new skills to new information and research that will help me with my future career in Mental Health. The IDS program teaches us to look at majors on a deeper level and see where valuable connections can be made. I am very happy that I chose to be an Interdisciplinary Studies major.
