"Failure to Launch, Top 4 Factors"

It's an astonishing fact that 64% of new grads move back home after college. Increasingly students find it difficult to get hired and earn a living, to become financially independent of their parents. It's a confusing time for these "Boomerang Kids" and for their parents.

Young adults are indeed becoming more difficult to coax out of their comfy childhood homes. According to Twentysomethings.com, since the '70s, the number of 26-year-olds still living at home has nearly doubled! There are four factors that contribute to this change:

Dear students, parents & educators,

Welcome to this week's issue of Campus Calm Connections. Thank you all for subscribing!

I was honored to be a guest expert on the "Bridging the Gap" radio show this past Sunday evening- topic was "RX for Stressed-Out Students." Click here to listen in.

Speaking of stress reduction, I also had the honor of holding my newborn niece Lily this past weekend at my brother's birthday party.

This picture epitomizes "campus calm" for me - it's hanging up in my office so whenever I get stressed, I can look at it and realize that what I'm all worked up about probably isn't that important in the scheme of things. I joked with my friends and relatives that this picture represents the most maternal moment of my life in 29 years! ;-)

In other news: By popular demand, we have decided to give our e-zine subscribers all of the Campus Calm University student association benefits in an affordable monthly payment package.

*For March and April only, you can enroll in Campus Calm University for just $10.97 per month.

For less than the price of a t-shirt in your campus bookstore you will get monthly audio coaching classes (see here for syllabus topics), checklists, monthly IM access & networking support, bonus gifts and more ... all with the aim of helping you manage stress and transform your academic experience into success (and HAPPINESS!) in the real world. Click here to enroll directly.

April is Stress Awareness Month - FREE Download from Campus Calm (below)

Next month is National Stress Awareness Month and April 16 is Stress Awareness Day. Many of you have been asking if Campus Calm has any literature or resources for your students that you can promote on your campus. We are in the process of putting together two FREE stress awareness resources for all you e-zine subscribers. The first is a flyer that you can download in PDF form and distribute it to your students. Students: hang it up in your dorm rooms.

The flyer is called: "Spotlight College Stress Awareness with Campus Calm; 10 Affirmations to Calm College Student Stress." You can download it here. High schools: If you'd like a flyer to send to your students, click here. I will be distributing the other free resource next week.

If you enjoy reading Campus Calm Connections, drop me an email. I'd love to hear from you!

Feature Article
Loving Yourself: The Greatest Love Of All
by: Colleen Degener, M.A., Guest Contributor, Campus Calm

Since the 1960's, the incidence of eating disorders has more than doubled. It has been reported that children as young as 7 to women in their late seventies are affected around the world. It has been estimated that 90 percent of those with eating disorders are women 12-25 years of age.

Eating Disorders have been named the "female disorder" for a long time; however this is changing. The current percentage of males with Anorexia or Bulimia is 10 percent, but is thought to be growing. It is believed that many young men never get the help they need because they are ashamed to admit they are struggling.

Calming Down Changed My Life

My name is Maria Pascucci and I am the president and founder of Campus Calm. I am a full–time writer and entrepreneur who discovered the joy of creating my own success when I stopped trying to prove to the world that I was the best.

A perfectionist and stress-case throughout my high school and college years, I'd rather skip an assignment than risk turning in a less–than–perfect paper. After years of denying myself happiness in an effort to strive for perfection, I graduated with a 3.92 GPA and fell into depression. I never once congratulated myself for graduating from college because all I could think about was my next task: Trying to prove myself in the real world!

Somewhere along the way in the past six years since graduation, I ditched my need to be perfect and began focusing on what I wanted, not what my family, friends and acquaintances in the supermarket thought that I needed. Guess what? It was the most liberating thing I've ever done – and it paved the way for the success I enjoy today. My only regret is that I can't go back and help the stressed out student that I was once. But I can others.

Now I'm on a mission: To spread a dose of "Campus Calm" to stressed-out high school and college students world-wide so you don't have to suffer needlessly like I did.
