Stress
Stress is your physical, emotional and mental response to any change you must adapt to whether or not the change is real or imagined, positive or negative.
Although many stressors that college students face are common in everyday life, students also have stressors that are unique during their higher education experience. Academic demands of tests, papers and projects, competitive nature within your chosen field, financial worries about school and future job prospects, roommate challenges, social and intimate relationship stress and time spent away from family and pleasurable activities.
