Stressors of University Students

According to Emily Bain in “The permanence of university stress’’, nowadays life has become difficult for students. Students should work hard to achieve their goals, which make them very stressful. University students feel that they have freedom to do whatever they want, but few of them have “the burden of real financial responsibility”. Most university students don’t notice that they are under pressure to complete their education. The problem is some students don’t have enough money, so they must work after they finish from university, which makes them very stressful to be students and workers on the same day. Students should improve their skills and have better quality learning experience. The students who work they should take a lighter course load. After graduation, the pressure is still on the students because they have to find jobs, rent apartments and take out government loans. Some students work at a job they don’t like and they are forced to work because they have bills to take care of.

In my opinion, I agree with the author that students have stress when they study in universities. But they can cope with stress in different ways. One of them, students can cope with stress by dividing the time and organizing the time of study. Second, students should learn how to manage their money. Third, students should find good friends to help them to study.

First, a student can be away from stress if he divides and organizes his time. When the student organizes his time he will finish at an exact time, so he will have free time to do a different activity he likes to do like sports, exercise and going out with friends.

Second, if a student spends his money, he will need to work and if he works he will have more stress, because he has to study and work on the same day. But if the student learns how to control himself and buy only important things that he needs, so he will not need to work and he will have more time to study.

Third, if a student has good friends they can help to study and work as group, and also if the student has some problems they will help him to solve it. Having friends is very important to share and learn from other.

In conclusion, all students should know techniques that help them to study well, and also to cope with stress. The students must organize their time and balance their money. The student should choose friends carefully because if you choose good friends they will help you when you are in trouble.
