From the Paper:

"Stress is generally a good thing as all individuals must have some to survive. However, when students have too much stress in their lives or the stress is perceived as being a negative event then psychological and physical impairments can sometimes be seen. There are ways that students can reduce stress in college but they have to work at what they are doing and learn how to get enough social support, enough time for leisure and enjoyment, and manage their time correctly. If students are not able to meet any type of personal need through different leisure activities or hobbies they may feel as though the stress that they must deal with in classes and during exams is actually much stronger than what it really is. In addition, female students appear to experience more anxiety symptoms and benefit less from leisure activities, so the female college student population would seem to be the most at risk for difficulties stemming from the stress of time management problems. In addition, however, female students are seen to be better overall at managing their time effectively than male students."
