The STRESS Faced by a College Student.

This is about to get serious.

As most of you reading this already know, school is sometimes stressful. In college, the stress just doubles within the first few weeks of a new semester and by the end of the semester, you are in a stressful seatuation. Hehehe, pun intended for those who didn't get it.

Students have various ways of dealing with these stressful situations but that can be a topic for another day. Today I will just pinpoint the factors that lead to stress.

-Number 1 on the list would be all the work you have to do. The thing I have noticed about myself and other students is that even in the pile of work we have to do, we tend to do it last minute. I do not know what that is about but I have decided for myself that this habit should stop. No matter what, it is best to start the work you've been given within the week you have been given that specific task. Let us not be the lastminute.com bunch.

-Number 2 on the list would be lifestyle. Every single person in college is from a different background and they each have their own lifestyles. Just because someone in your class is going on a trip to a nice place does not mean that you have to too. The different lifestyles of each person, especially people that are close to you does not have to be the way you lead your life. We tend to forget this and eventually end up trying to do things we can't afford which then end up stressing oneself. For instance if one of you buddies travels a lot, and you want to fit into this lifestyle while you don't get a lot of pocket money...this would lead to stress. You would have to cut on your food and certain necessities just to fit in.

All I am trying to imply is that the biggest factor of stress is yourself. If you allow yourself to relax more than enough, try to fit in and so many more other reasons...You will eventually stress yourself. Instead of over relaxing, manage your time nicely so that you can have fun and do school work. Budget nicely, save properly and travel when you have planned nicely for it. Look for promotion and surround yourself with people you know will bring the best out of you.

You came to college for a reason, it is not going to be easy. Focus and make sure you do what is best for you. At the same time take it easy, nut not too easy to lead yourself into a stressful situation.
