Managing finances as a student can be overwhelming, and the stress of tuition, rent, and daily expenses can take a toll on your mental health. Studies show that 72% of college students experience financial stress, which can lead to anxiety, burnout, and reduced academic performance.
Why Mood Tracking Matters
Tracking your mood is a simple yet effective way to recognize patterns in your emotional well-being. By identifying stress triggers, you can take proactive steps to manage your emotions and prevent burnout. For example, you might notice that your stress spikes before rent is due, allowing you to plan ahead with budgeting strategies.
