On 12/17/14 I conducted an interview with a female college student on whether or not men and women attending college handle academic stress differently? For example, in one of my courses there is a female student who's always asking me for help before exams. I noticed that she stressed getting that "A"grade in everything she took. Her biggest concern was that her notes were never good enough and upon reviewing them I discovered that she covered more details than I did. After providing that example to the interviewee she went on to add that the reason men and women handle stress differently is because Women have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition in the professional world then men do. Men, can afford to slack off and get lower grades at times because they enter a workforce that operates under the invisibility of masculinity. Women are likely so stressed over their academics because they subconsciously understand that the glass ceiling is more prevalent to them.
