Don T Live Life Like Exam Week-Take Control Of Stress

Marano then concludes that this state of mind is common due to the lack of “emotional regulation and generationally bred on the immediacy of having needs met” (Marano 65). This opinion is then backed by the expertise of director of campus counseling and professor of psychology at Georgetown University, Philip Meilman. He too has noticed the change in direction from developmental issues to the urgency of potentially harmful issues that college students currently struggle with. Statistics on the issue are then throw in for added cushion on the argument; the facts are where Marano gains the majority of her ground. Marano acclimates this change due “psychic sleight” (66). She never analyzes whether Alyssa’s heartbroken Facebook post justified or if a little dramatism is a part of the healing processes. Nor does she acknowledge the how the ability of a student to challenge their psyche can lead to self-awareness which opens accesses to their emotions. Then comes the regulation of said emotions. All of the statistics are based on the amount of students who realize they have an issue and are strong enough to recognize they need help. If anything, it just proves that this generation is becoming more emotionally inclined compared to their stone-faced

Stress is a word that many college students hear on a daily basis; it is a concept that resonates with all students, regardless of age or major. People of all ages experience stress at various times in their lives, but college is a particular time when an individual can be plagued by heightened levels of it. At any given time, a college student might feel academic, financial, and social strains, yet they might not possess the resources to satisfy the demands of these stressors. Accumulation of these stressors (and stress in general) can have a negative impact on the lives of college students, but authors of a recent scientific study made an attempt to find the best techniques for reducing stress in college students.

It is important to know how to manage stress in academic life as it is learning about how to balance work and academic life. It is also important for students after graduating and creates self-awareness such as weakness in them.

Although the stress of college students is largely present, it is just another part of college. The real epidemic here besides added pressure on female students is how students as a whole can reduce the amount of stress that is put on them by personal practices. The hardships that students are going through now will be prevalent in the future when they become very successful from all the aspects they were challenged

Stress as defined by Dr. Laura A. King is “the response of individuals to environmental stressors”. The biggest types of environmental stressor that a majority of adults are facing, will face, or have faced, are college and work. College is a time in someone’s life where they are faced with what the “real world” truly is. It can be a great time in one’s life where they have the opportunity to meet new people, experience new things, and find themselves for who they truly are. It is also a time where people are spending hundreds of dollars, they don’t have, on books, housing, rentals, classes, and so much more; they are also being shoved into a room with possibly fifty other young adults, they have never met, to learn new things or ideas and

One focal point that makes this essay efficient, is the tone of the essay. Boyett allows for a smooth transition into the topic by providing an anecdote that shows insight to the stress that the average person encounters on an everyday basis. Boyett writes, “At 9:35, with her heart pounding and hands sweating, she scrambled into the classroom, found an open seat, and was hurriedly pulling out her psych notes[…] the prof asked “so precisely what does Jung mean by ‘collective unconscious’”(Boyett 1). This passage utilizes visual imagery to illustrate what daily stress is to the average person and acts as a lead up to the main effects of stress. By having an effective introduction, it engages the reader and helps the reader create a personal

Generally speaking, college requires a lot more effort from students than high school. Once you begin your college career, you will see that student’s are more motivated, professors are more demanding, and the workload is a lot more difficult. These academic standards are even more visible in graduate school. Now, although college is filled with adventurous opportunities, it can also be filled with stress. In other words, as a result of everything going on, it’s more common for college students to experience higher levels of stress related to school, work, finance, and in some cases, relationships.

Stress is unavoidable, no matter the situation, location, or time; stress is always present. Stress is found in higher levels during the duration in which students attend college. It is predictably higher among college students, freshmans in particular, because of the extreme expectations set upon them by their parents and, of course, society. The need to please their parents, longing for success in life, and being able to sustain a reasonable income in the future, all of which falls into the hands of college students who are making critical decisions which may decide the outcome for a large portion of their lives. If these students end up hating their future jobs, the stress of having to go back into college to study for a new career

Like many of the questionnaires utilized for research in the articles used for this literature review, it was anonymous, and administered and collected during class. This form of data collection provided high turn in rates allowing researchers to have a wide study scale. According to Hicks, T., & Heastie, S., contrasting levels of stress and coping mechanisms were present in these students. It was noted that traditional college students experience more psychological stress than their nontraditional student counterparts. In addition, during the first year of college, the amount of stress experienced by students is the highest in comparison to stress in the remainder of the years. These results are especially important because it stresses the need for a strong health and wellness center within colleges and universities.

I would give the article an ‘A’ grade as it highlights serious issues related to mental health of college students. First of all the author, Jeremie Davis describes a tragic death of an outstanding college student to emphasis how stress can lead to devastative results. Secondly, the article has credible data from National Alliance on Mental Illness to highlight different mental health problems that students face. Furthermore, the article also informs us about the schools with the highest stress rate and how it affects the students.

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,

   Today a college education can overload students with too many stressful situations. Not only does Stress overload today's college students, but it is also the leading cause of personality disorders. In her essay, Cathy Bell explains that major depressive disorder strikes 5-12% of men and 10-20% of women; half of these people will have more than one occurrence and 15% of them will commit suicide ("Depression for the young"). For instance, many depressives are first recognized and treated during their years in college. For a large amount of people, depression exposes itself because of traumatizing experiences, such as leaving home and/or academic stress. For other students alcohol and drugs become a

Thesis:  Today I will discuss about sources and effects of student stress and efficient ways to manage this emotional and physical strain.

Stress is no new phenomenon. It’s been around as long as man and has captivated scholars and physicians alike. With the growing demand for degrees in the professional world comes the growth of the number of college students. The relationship between stress and college students has become the subject of on-going research. Several studies show that stress in college students is increasing with time and the authors of those studies are attributing this to an increased number of students. Other research seems to indicate that it isn’t necessarily the stress that is increasing but the awareness of it. Increased awareness of stress, and its unique toll on individuals, allows colleges and students to recognize

The question of whether or not a stress management course would reduce the negative response of psychological, physiological, and socioenvironmental effects on the performance of graduate school counseling students, is the question the article is attempting to answer (Abel, Abel & Smith 2012). Graduate students have to answer some questions for themselves. For example, what life situations cause the most stress in their lives? What does the stress of a graduate program do personally to the student physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally? If there are negative effects of stress on the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of the graduate student’s life, what kinds of coping mechanisms/strategies would one need to have, or need to acquire in order to cope with that stress?
