When I read stuff like this, I am glad I didn't go to an Ivy League school. I know this is Yale and not the other schools, but I have heard similar issues with anxiety, pressure and suicide at many other top schools.

Americans are addicted to success. People lie to each other about how good everything is.

"I hate my job, but life after 5pm is okay." "I have no time to see my family, but my life is rockin!" "I work 100 hours a week, but I love it!"

Balance is difficult because no one can tell you what it is, you have to find it yourself.
