What is stress?
Every person in our world deals with stress at some moments in their lives. Stress is considered to be a response of your organism and nervous system to an event or an ongoing sense of worry.
It’s a normal physical and psychological response to sudden dangers and long-lasting challenges. During stressful events your body releases a burst of chemicals, such as adrenaline.
In the short term, stress can be helpful to give you energy to get things done. But in the long term, stress can lead to significant health problems.

What is stress?
One of the most vulnerable to stress groups of people are adolescents and youth who study at high school, college or university.
According to the report of Anxiety and Depression Association of America 80 percent of college and university students frequently or sometimes experience daily stress.
With so many new experiences, responsibilities, social settings, and demands on their time, it's normal and expected for students to feel overwhelmed and anxious at times.

Types of stress
In the book called “Stress and the Manager” psychologist and therapist Karl Albrect identifies four main types of stress:
Time stress
Anticipatory stress
Situational stress
Encounter stress

Time stress
This type of stress revolves around concerns about time – most frequently the lack of time to accomplish all that needs to be done in a given timeframe.
Students often experience time stress as they adjust to a larger workload and more significant demands from their professors and classes.
Time stress may also manifest in a concern for being places on time. Especially for students who attend a large college, navigating a new campus during their first few months can often leave them racing around and worrying they'll be late to classes or meetings with advisors.

Anticipatory stress
Anticipatory stress is felt in conjunction with concerns about the future, it appears in both specific and vague manifestations.
For some students, anticipatory stress is brought about when thinking about an upcoming test or presentation; for others, it can be an overall feeling of trepidation about what's coming next. This form of stress is often triggered by a lack of confidence or an overall sense of fear about failing in some way.
Many students may experience anticipatory stress during their final year of college as they begin to look for jobs or plan their next move after graduation.

Situational stress
Situational stress tends to be sudden and overwhelming.
The common thread amongst all forms of this type of stress is feeling a lack of control. Whether manifesting as an emergency, a sudden conflict, or making a mistake in front of peers, it happens quickly and students will feel they have no power to change what is happening.
Other common examples in college could be failing a test, fighting with a roommate, receiving a scary call from home, or getting in a wreck.

Encounter stress
Encounter stress is unique in its trigger points being specific to seeing people. Students with such a kind of stress frequently identify as introverts, but extroverts may also share in these feelings.
Moments of stress come out when being required to interact with a certain person or group of people. Students who work during their studies may also feel stress over interacting with a large number of others while trying to balance their studies.
This stress is known as “contact overload” and originates from feelings of being drained from being in contact with too many people over a set amount of time.
