Are you stressed?<br />
It is often glamourizing to be an academic. In fact, your introductions<br />
come easier because you will refer to yourself as a “second<br />
year” or “final year” student. However, it unfortunately does not<br />
come easy to some of us. And it does<br />
require a lot of perseverance and persistence<br />
which includes overcoming<br />
high levels of stress and working under<br />
extreme pressure.<br />
To put it into context, university can<br />
have only six months (semester) to<br />
cover a certain amount of work regarding<br />
a specific field of study. Additionally,<br />
as a student, one has to maintain a<br />
social life; one that continues to’ diversify<br />
itself through popular social media<br />
platforms. Moreover, one may want to<br />
participate in other extra-curricular activities<br />
that may be of interest, whether<br />
it is sport or student societies. These<br />
activities do also need their own fair<br />
amount of effort and work.<br />
Any student who may be able to balance all these activities without<br />
experiencing a peak in their stress level is extremely lucky<br />
and able.<br />
For sport persons who are in academics, stress levels may be<br />
induced by time management goals. For instance, a sport season<br />
may come and it can stretch up to the whole month. And one<br />
cannot catch up with academics. It can be challenging to regain<br />
stability in terms of academics. Right there, levels of stress may<br />
then peak.
