I only know about this because all of my friends were freaking out the other day that an unnamed graduate student killed himself in the architecture building. It really hit close to home for me as a graduate of the ASU architecture program. Architecture is probably one of the harder disciplines to study at college, and sometimes the deadlines and insulting "feedback" from faculty can really start to weigh on you. Like I said before, I did not know either the student or the professor involved, so I don't know if this was the motivation behind the incident. @Eric,

You offer good advice. Look for any reason to keep going. Find the small bits of happiness and focus on them. I hate to sound cliche, but I find it useful to count my blessings. I try to do this from time to time, just so I realize how good life is, even if times are tough. My condolences to the family and friends of the student, and my sympothy to professor. Clayton,
