Back in The Day I remember being a kid‚ and it was so fun. Just being yourself as one person‚ compared to what the kids do now. Living the in now moment‚ instead of looking into the future.

I would say that one stressor I have (or I should say had) was being with my ex-boyfriend‚ he did not approve of me going back to school.
