Conclusion

The problem of academic stress can be resolved. It will, however,

take time and a lot of effort from students. It is good to remember

that stress is not always a problematic or bad thing. It can also be

the impulse that students need to give the 120%, the motor for

them to finish any task.

Organize time, have a healthy and balanced diet, and doing

exercise are some of the ways that students can go against

academic stress.
