Deadline-Induced Stress: Hard Not Like In Elementary And High School

Time as a precious resource requires proper planning at the time of spending on various things. The proper planning of time is called Time Management by which the right time is allocated to the right work. Author of the present paper attempted to find out the effects of time management on other variables and attributes of peoples. For this purpose, a number of prominent studies undertaken between 1990 and 2010 were analysed. More or less, all studies which were reviewed reported salubrious effect of time management on the stress level.

Some students are stressful in their senior year, because they want to go some good college and they need higher GPA and they need more AP classes. They want to achieving more thing and a better life.

Stress in college is caused by many other influencing factors. One of these important factors would have to be the expectations set by parents. They are normally the reason students are in college, so pleasing them by getting good grades is almost mandatory. The thought of displeasing out parents can be detrimental to our thought process; meaning that it most likely would cause impaired

Another reason why students are not successful in college is that of stress. Relationships, family issues and cost of tuition are stress-related factors that are dealt with a college student. The America Institute of the street website says, “a 2008 mental health study by the Associated Press and mtvU eight in 10 college students say they have experienced stress in their daily lives over the past three months” (Stress in College Students p. 1). The college that I

Not only can students’ home situation affect their turning in an assignment on time, so can students’ well-being. Students just like other people can get sick. They can be sick enough not to even get out of bed and make it to the doctor. I know I personally suffer from unbearable cramps during my menstrual cycle. My cramps can get so out of hand that I will not have the energy to take any medicine. My uterus will be so upset with me that it will kick my insides out and force me to scream and cry for an episode lasting about twenty minutes. When I was in twelfth grade, I felt the enduring pain coming on right after my first class. I had to scream, cry, and bleed in the office until it was over, for I had no strength to drive myself home. Aside from physical sicknesses, students can be emotionally unstable. It is natural for the average person to go through some form of depression in his or her lifetime. Being overwhelmed from balancing life and figuring out his or her future as a student is tough. Specifically, students are asked to make life decisions, which is sort of irrational since they are so

Deadlines help you prioritize your tasks. The most important tasks should be handled and completed first and, then go down the list until you reach and complete the least important task on your list. You should complete each task to the best of your ability, in order to meet the deadline. You should focus on one task at a time. Give each task your full and complete attention and concentration. There is no need to rush or get frustrated when under a deadline, because that will cause you to get stressed out, and discourage,

Students in higher or older grades are prone to having a much higher stress level than students and learners of a lower grade. Students are stressed because of the hard study work that they need to prepare themselves for before writing their exams. They also worry about getting their work done in time and having deadlines for projects and speeches. Many students feel as though they are unprepared or feel like they have not worked and studied hard

Surprisingly, only 12 of the 51 students tested with self-imposed deadlines (roughly 27%) chose to submit their papers on the last day of the semester. Some of these students still handed in their papers before they were due, without a rigid schedule enforced by the class. However, the remaining 39 students with earlier deadlines, chose to forgo utilizing the extra allotment of time to avoid even the temptation of procrastinating. The other 48 students, with fixed deadlines, had to maximize their efforts, with the limited time they had, to work more

College students have to balance work, family, and college activists and any delaying behavior from within can cause an unbalance. This behavior is called procrastinating and it can lead to problems in many areas of a student’s life. College students are the worst hit by this type of behavior because they have many different activities to focus on instead of studying. These activities can cause students to study when they have time which often is usually too short amount of time. There is a time and place to relax and enjoy life, but if students focus on playing around instead of getting their assignments done, college life will be stressful.

More and more students are piling on mountains of stresses and strains on their bodies but more so on their minds by choosing to procrastinate. According to Dr. Ferrari associate professor of psychology at De Paul University in Chicago, he suggests that the “stress or anxiety we feel over long periods of time can lead to more serious situations such as depression and other forms of mental illnesses... that will make our lives much harder to cope with.” The true ramifications of delaying or stalling assignments is putting one's mental health on the line. Students may gain anxiety, and or depression problems because of the exceeding amount of stress and pressure they put themselves under when students defer tasks. Another effect of procrastination is building up unnecessary amounts of stress.

This in-between phase is where stress is at its highest. The period usually occurs during our college phase because college is typically (not always though) a necessity in order to succeed. Standards are different with every job, but success in a field depends on willpower and perseverance. Stress affects everyone on different levels, where some thrive off stress and many do not. The symptoms of stress are slight, where most people might not even realize that they are even showing symptoms, so learning to recognize even the slightest symptoms may prove to be beneficial. After recognizing the symptoms of stress, these students and everyone else could take measures to relax or perform activities that relieve stress. These slight side effects, that may not be noticeable, are impairing individuals mentally, and if symptoms remain untreated, then physical side effects occur as well. Choosing to do well is stressful because it is guaranteed that there is a mountain of work in the way before an individual reaches success.

According to Semb, Glick and Spencer (1979), the level of procrastination increases as an individual stays longer in universities. It was stated by Ellis and Knaus (1977) that approximately, over 70% of college students engage in this activity. Undergraduates tend to start papers during the last minute; they fail to prioritize what should be accomplished first, and as a result, their academic performance is greatly affected. A detrimental effect on their studies leads to having poor grades and eventually, failure in class (Semb, et.al., 1979).

First off, adjusting to academic factors in the freshmen year can create stress for students in a variety of ways. First of all, first-year students experience stress while trying to keep up with the new academic workloads in college, which are completely different and more challenging than the workloads in high school. To illustrate this, in Alan Schwartz’s article in the

That feeling of walking back from an exam or staying up all night cramming information is well known to any student who has been through college. It leaves one feeling overwhelmed like the week will never end. The feelings are held inside while friends and roommates accuse moodiness which leads to the meltdown that is inevitable. These times are a result of a common state known as stress. Stress is a condition in which the body responds to any kind of demand or threat caused by life factors which include pressure, work, school, major changes, and lack of sleep. This factor is very common in colleges, especially freshmen and can also be seen here at Trine University. Stress can affect both physical and mental conditions in the body, such as sleep patterns, eating habits, anxiety,

The workplace and the school are very stressful environments. Deadlines are one major cause of Work/Study Related Stress. There are a couple of other factors
