As I continue to gather sources for my research project on depression in college students, I am finding a gap in what I have gathered so far. While I have found some significant sources, I am noticing that many of these sources are only from psychologists, professors, or doctors. I do not have anything from college students themselves which is a major problem for my research… I have to find a way to fill this gap ASAP<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I started to brainstorm yesterday and I decided to look up “college depression from the perspective of college students” on google. I hit the jackpot!<\/p>\n

I found articles that were posted on twitter to help college students struggling with depression and I even found an article on buzzfeed.com titled “13 Powerful Stories About College Students Living With Depression”<\/a>. This article was exactly what I needed to help me feel this gap in my research. It was really important for me to find sources from the perspective of college students because I don’t want my research to be only statistics and opinions from adults and experts in this field. I want to hear what it’s like for the students who actually suffer from mental illness because sometimes even the experts don’t know what it is really like for a college student today to live with a mental illness.<\/p>\n

As far as establishing territory goes, I feel pretty confident with the sources I have collected so far. Since the majority of my sources are studies on depression and mental illness in college students, I have a lot of background I can use from these. I am nowhere near done collecting sources, however, now that I have established the gap, it will be much easier for me to find sources that can all contribute to the conversation.<\/p>\n

I will keep you all updated on my research and let you know what I find!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
