Stress is a great worry caused by a difficult situation. Many people would say that being in school is the easiest stage of someone's life but, being in school can be really stressful because of the competition for grades between each other, fear of failing, career choice, extracurricular activities for college, relationships, and many other things of the college enviroment can cause stress. It is harmful when it starts being excessive. Even though stress can bring many problems to our health such as anxiety, restlessness, lack of motivation or focus, anger, sadness or depression, it can also bring some benefits such as motivation to succeed, be more resilient, and it also helps boost brainpower. According to a 2008 mental health study by the Associated Press and mtvU, eight in 10 college students said they have sometimes or frequently experienced stress in their daily lives. This is an increase of 20% from a survey five years ago. Also 34 percent have felt depressed at some point in the past three months, 13 percent have been diagnosed with a mental health condition such as an anxiety disorder or depression, and 9 percent have seriously considered suicide. Some tips to manage and avoid stress are: set aside relaxation time including rest and relaxation in your daily schedule, don't allowing other obligations to encroach because it is a time to take a break from all responsabilities and recharge your batteries, doing something you enjoy daily, make some time for laisure activity that enjoys you, keeping your sense of humor and it can be by laughing at yourself because laughing helps your body fight stress in a number of ways.

Life pushes students to live so fast that it doesn't allow them to recover the energy needed to face the life's challenges. That's why students need to create some strategies to avoid stress so they can overcome it.
