Stress is inevitable, no matter the situation, place or time; stress is always present. College students, particularly freshmen, are a group particularly prone to stress due to the transitional nature of college life (Ross, Niebling, & Heckert, 1999). The need to please their parents, the idea of ​​​​being successful in life and being able to maintain a reasonable income in the future, all of this rests on the shoulders of students who make decisions for a large part of their lives. They also must adjust to being away from home for the first time, maintain a high level of academic achievement, and adapt to a new social environment. Students, regardless of their year of study, often face pressures related to studying, looking for a job and a potential life partner. These stressors do not cause anxiety or tension on their own. Rather, stress results from the interaction between stressors and the individual's perception of and reaction to these stressors. The amount of stress experienced may be influenced by the individual's ability to cope effectively with stressful events and situations. If stress is not managed effectively, feelings of loneliness and nervousness, as well as insomnia and excessive worry can result. It is important that stress intervention programs are designed to address student stress. However, in order to design an effective intervention, it is necessary to determine the stressors specific to college students. With various stressors present on college campuses and such high standards put in place for students, stress is rampant in their lives, causing their bodies to go completely out of sync.
