High Tech Stress Relief

Story by: Brandon Edwards



The day to day stresses of being a college student can steadily wear away at anyone. So what is one to do when the usual relief doesn't work?

Head on down to Montevallo's game room, located behind the stage of downstairs Farmer. Many students flock to the game room on a daily basis in order to have a good time and wind down after a long day of classes.

Students such as Jimmy Holifield who both attend school as well as work are more than happy to spend their downtime "hanging out with friends, enjoying the different games, and just having fun".

However, it isn't always just for the fun that people will go. Adam Pettway regularly goes to the game room as a way to calm down after making his way through a hefty workload, stating that "sometimes it can be a bit much". He further adds that he enjoys going to the game room as it is a place to "...chill... where he doesn't really have to worry about anything".

This comes on the heels of research that states that playing video games has numerous health benefits, including the relief of stress and depression.
