Many students deal with stress because of changes in their personal lives, work lives and schoolwork. One way people cope with stress, which is an important skill to learn, is by keeping a journal.Â
Katie Cortese, an associate professor of English, said journaling can help with self-discovery, venting and processing emotions. While other forms of creative writing are tailored to the reader as a form of connection, journaling is for the writer.Â
âSome people have dream journals, some people have idea journals, some people have experience journals,â Cortese said. âFor me, the idea of a journal is sort of voluntary, and it needs to be personalized to whoever the writer of that journal is.âÂ
