2) she is up late at night either laughing super loud while watching youtube videos or balling her eyes out over class work that she’s stressed about. the other day she ran up to my other roommate and I and insisted on interviewing us immediately for a project she had due that night even though we were in the middle of doing intense homework of our own. i’ve tried to help with her sadness by offering up counseling services I know of or suggesting places she can go to be tutored but she doesn’t

3) seem to be responsive to these options or when they don’t go exactly right she continues her breakdown.
