This project was put together by Isabella Coleman, Natalie Holton and Lyndsey Little to find out what causes stress in first-year students at UPIKE and how students choose to manage their stress.
I think to fully understand why we chose the topic of stress in first-year UPIKE students and how they manage it is, a key part to truly understanding the project and the research that went behind it. All three of us inside of this group are first-year students. We were thrown into this crazy wild ride of college. We wanted to know more about what makes us stressed as a whole of first year students and how the students choose to cope with this stress. All three of us talked and we have had our fair share of stresses go on during this first semester of college. From having to be an adult for the first time to having lots of homework and not enough free time, we each had an experience with stress. We chose to do a survey of all of our new friends and classmates and gather their results. In the survey we asked what caused stress and how they chose to resolve it. We were able to get a wide viewpoint of the stresses that you might experience as a first-year student at UPIKE.
