K.S


The level of stress experienced on today’s university students nationwide is much higher than one might expect.

Stress is defined as burdens, pressures, anxieties, and worries. Everyone has had it or has it in one point in their lives.

Have I studying for that final exam? Do I have time study for that Final Exam? Should I call in sick tomorrow? Is that assignment due tomorrow already? These are all questions and thoughts that are running through the minds of a student every minute, every day of their studying lives. Sometimes these thoughts and questions don’t get answered or done. It all piles up and that is when stress is at its peak and many students are at their breaking points.
Sometimes there are so many things to do and not enough time. And when there’s time, there’s no energy because the person has given up.
More then 50% of students are working more then 25 hours a week and are facing the pressure of saving up for the ever-increasing home loans and rent rates due to interest rates.
Those who have got it all under controlled are either lonely or depressed because they have lost their social lives.
It’s all just all too much for a student. Many students experience poverty during their studying years. The high level of assignment activity results not only into high levels of stress but constant intake of unhealthy food, hair fall out, millions of pimples, tears and the constant seek of money that might be lying around the house.
