Professor Misra, from School of Health Sciences at Ohio University, blamed academic stress on, “taking and studying for exams, grade competition, and the large amount of content to master in a small amount of time,” ( p). In college there is a large amount of material a student must master in a shorter span of time. This can create high levels of academic stress for a student because in order for a student to perform well they must be able to speed up their learning process. This is a difficult task to learn, especially for college freshman, because it is not something taught or practiced in many high schools. College students want to perform well to maintain scholarships, please parents, and prevent the loss of money due to failed grades. This burden to perform well academically can be a unhealthy continuous stressor for college
