Identify Stress Management Approaches

Michael is a freshman computer science major taking 15 credit hours at a Mid-Western Public University.  A good student in high school, he was competitively selected by the University with a small circle of friends from high school that he frequently socializes.  Michael lives in the dorm, first time away from home, and enjoys his freedom.  Eating all meals at the university cafeteria, he has gained some weight since starting school, a development he does not like.  Michael took midterm exams last week and did not do well on them.  He barely passed three courses and marginally failed two others.  He is worried about assignments, final exams, and grades this semester.
