Alcohol Effects of College Students
Dr. Fran Sessa, my
name is Corinne Bohnel and I’m interested in the discipline of psychology and
I’ve done some research and found that you are as well. I’m happy that I’ve ran
into you for the reason that I want to do a project relating to the consumption
of alcohol in college students and how it effects their social and academic
life. I also am curious in investigating what the main cause of drinking is. Is
it external factors that influence adolescents (such as peer pressuring friends)
or is it more internal (wanting to drink to release stress or a distraction
from something stressful in life). I noticed you are a member of the Abington
campus Personal Support team and crisis intervention team, so I imagine you
have seen firsthand what kind of things college students are struggling with in
their lives and need support and guidance to help them get through rough
patches. A lot of kids use alcohol as an escape, but what they might not
realize is, it’s an escape that only lasts a few hours, and eventually can lead
to a bigger, more detrimental problem. This is a risky behavior, something that
I also noticed you study. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to help
me with my project?
