As a Richland Collegiate High School student, I am always attacked by stressors in my academic life. The stress provoked by school-related objects often bled into my home and social life. It created an unhealthy environment where I felt weighed down by the stress. Due to the stress, I often lost my appetite and started sleeping less. My mother worried that I was depressed or that I was developing an eating disorder, but I just did not know how to pick myself up and just get things done.

One topic in psychology I find particularly interesting is the amount of stress that students in this generation are subjected to, specifically while in college. There are many reasons why this topic is interesting to me. The first and obvious reason is because I myself am a college student. Therefore, I have personally experienced the tremendous amount of stress that is put on students. I have also witnessed my friends and peers cope with this stress in various ways, some of which are healthy and some of which are not.

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.

Within the literature, stress is reduced or eliminated by using stress management interventions (SMIs) that can be used on two types of levels: individual and organizational (Biggs et al., 2014a; Biron & Karanika-Murray, 2014; Cheung et al., 2013; Dollard & Gordon, 2014; Fridrich, Jenny, & Bauer, 2016; Füllemann et al., 2015; Hoek et al., 2018; Hurst, Baranik, & Daniel, 2013; Huss, 2012; Li et al., 2017; Lloyd et al., 2017; Nägel et al., 2015; Pack, 2012; Von Humboldt et al., 2013).

When I originally enrolled for this course I figured my background knowledge on the subject was extensive enough that I might not learn all that much.

I did not realize, however, the extent to which stress connects both directly and indirectly to my life. All of the general findings of stress correlate exactly as expected with myself.

Stress is evident in all our lives. It is correlated to various issues, like anxiety, depression, and back pain and neck issues. According to stress.com, eight out of 10 college students have experienced stress in the past three months. The period that college students are going through is called emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood is the period during ages 18-25 years where students are growing up and learning the struggles of being an adult. Stress is in all aspects of our lives. In the cognitive domain, students with time management skills can decrease the amount of stress in their lives.

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.

Increased awareness of stress, and its unique toll on individuals, allows colleges and students to recognize

Whether it’s busting out a research paper for Psychology at the last minute, expecting your first child to be born, to making sure you’re up in time to catch the Saturday morning cartoons, it’s clearly evident that everyone goes through stress. The real question is, how is stress handled in our society? A person is defined by how they handle the stressors in their lives and how they overcome stressful moments.
