20. College students face a lot of stress and anxiety during their school years. Anxiety has become a problem for an increasing number of students (Vye, Schollijegerdes, and Welch 7). Studies have shown that these students may “report a range psychological disorders including panic, obsessive- compulsive disorders, and phobias” (Vye, Schollijegerdes, and Welch 7). Even for those who do not necessarily suffer from a diagnosable disorder, students with higher levels of perceived stress also have lower levels of happiness (Schiffrin and Nelson 37). To improve the mental and emotional health of students, colleges should develop more activities and workshops geared toward making a student’s life more enjoyable and less stressful.
