As what Jean have written in the last few post- what are the factors cause stress, i totally agree with it. But i just wanna add some other causes and explanation. Those causes are :
1. Moving away from home - You find yourself in a whole new environment of people and classrooms sometimes states away.
2. Peer pressure - You are faced with decisions on drugs, sex, alcohol and smoking.
3. Illness/Injury - The common cold or flu can put extra on us. Injury due to accidents or sports may also make us miss work or school to put more of a financial and academic burden on us.
4. Family changes - If you are engaged, married, have children, pregnant or have a loved one in Armed forces at time of war this will also cause a substantial amount of stress.
5. Test anxiety - The transition from high school to university is not easy for a lot of students. You have to be self motivated and learn good study habits to get good grades.
6. Poor nutrition - A lot of university students eat unhealthy foods. They rely on fast food restaurants, microwave meals, and quick foods/snacks.
7. Sleeping habits - The human body in order to function properly needs on average between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each day.
8. Fear of failure - We come to university to achieve. The future is unknown and we are faced with many decisions and problems in and outside of university. Family, friends and society as a whole often add stress by expecting a lot out of us.
9. Finances - Some students don't have jobs or don't get paid enough from the ones they have. Some of us pay rent, utilities, car payments, car insurance, car repairs, life insurance and we also have to look forward to student loans.
10. Relationship - Boy friends / girl friends or husbands/wives need i say more. You also have stress when it comes to close friends and acquaintances. If you have trouble making friends this is also an added stress.
11. Pushing ourselves too hard - Trying to always be the best, straight A's, always win the challenge or game. Don't forget work and our social lives.
12. Death of loved one - Losing someone to death even if its not a family member but maybe a close friend, boy friend/girl friend, or even ex boyfriend/girlfriend can be devastating and take a long time to recover from.
