Cycles of stress
(11/24/15 1:18am)
Asking someone how he or she is doing is a pretty standard part of any conversation. Whether it comes as an effort to catch up with a distant friend over coffee, or is thrown casually over a shoulder to an acquaintance passing by on the Corner, it’s a question I ask dozens of times a day. As the semester draws to a close, I’m finding this question elicits an equally standardized answer — we’re stressed.
