They Come And They Go
a: Emotion ~
b: student activism

Don't Let It Burn Too Long
a: Emotion ~
b: nuclear material
What: "But as marvelous as it is, emotion is like nuclear material. If you don't fully understand it and learn to control it (particularly as emotion pertains to you in stressful situations), it will quickly flash out-of-control and explode into those unwanted meltdown experiences like panic, rage, and general indecision or poor decision-making."

Give Them Some Juice
a: Emotion ~
b: unwelcome guest knocking at the door
What: "A negative emotion is like an unwelcome guest knocking on your door. You may not want to invite the emotion in but it just barges in and makes itself at home. Before you know it, the emotion's unpacked, and starts taking over the house - coloring your thoughts, shaping how you communicate, and undermining your best intentions." A discussion of how to deal with bad feelings.

a: Emotion ~
b: any medium of art

She is his childhood friend , his confidante , his prank partner , his agony aunt , his reality check. Just like Asad is to Zoe."
