The instructors are not bringing the stress — we are.

So the first question is, what do I have control over as a student?

As students, we have control over our Grade Point Average and our finances — you will never get rid of financial stress, by the way.

What makes us stress out over these things is our time management, or lack thereof.

We have choices in our busy schedules, where some of us go to classes and then work at a job.

During breaks we can do homework or study, which most of us have a tendency not to do.

In many cases the "stress" I hear from classmates is from instructors giving out too much homework.

In this case I have to say no. I find that many of us have a tendency to put things off until the last minute.
