...organizational activities, etc. Another major factor that affects students’ academic performance according to researchers is dating or being in a relationship. Upon entering a relationship during college, one might be forced to choose to either study, or spend time with his partner. This may leave the student with a lot of stress that may affect the student including his studies.

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Nowadays, teenage relationship is common. You would see teenagers holding hands in the amusement parks, corridors and even public vehicles. It almost became a trend in the teenage world. More often, relationship status becomes a statement in the popularity of a person, and the aliveness of one’s life. College life may serve as a challenging chapter of life to every student. College used to face different forms of life, like different struggles to face in a day to day basis. This is the age where the transitional phase in every student happens, in which time management is hard to handle. Many college students are involved in a romantic relationship, but involvement to this may just cause more stressors to handle. Studying is toxic and very exhausting, sometimes escaping from stress and relaxation is what a student is looking for. Teenagers look for moments where they can feel free and love. The feeling of love remedies the toxicity of what a student is experiencing. It lets a person escape from reality and live by its fantasy. But imagination just only brings happiness; people still live in reality thus resulting to poor performance. Thus, it definitely depends on the person who’s handling it. According to the study made by Matthew Kopfler, it says that, “Students in relationships tend to have a higher stress level when meeting deadlines on assignments and completing school work, but...

There are many kinds of unique relationships that you could experience in your life. But here are some types of relationships. The first one is the LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP where both of you loves each other and are connected to each other emotionally. But physically, both of them live in too different area codes and share minimal physical intimacy. You’d have to deal with insecurities and jealousy, and several bouts of suspicion. Second is the COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIPS it is the trickiest kind ofrelationship. Both partners may not know that things are not perfectly inlove, either because of involvement of a third person or because of the incompatibility.[1] Puppy love and childhood crushes turn to teenage dating activities for at least half of all highschool students.

...The Views of Far Eastern University - East Asia College Students on the Effects of Boyfriend/Girlfriend Relationship in Academic Grades A Research Paper Presented to: Ms. Loida R. Soreta Submitted by: Ruth Anne Geliberte Kathleen D. Mendoza Far Eastern University - East Asia College April 12, 2011 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study On a daily basis, college students are faced with a conflict of interest: to study or not to study. Often times these decisions are affected by outside factors that are beyond the control of the student (i.e. work, athletics, involvement in organizations). One other factor that is believed to be a major influence is the existence of a significant other. While involved in a relationship during college, one might be forced to choose either studying for school or spending time with the significant other, leaving the student with increased amounts of stress. Level of commitment to the relationship must also be taken into consideration. Many factors contribute to a student’s academic grades; the aim of this research was to know the effects of having a boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship while studying and if it affects the student’s academic grades. There are lots of different types of relationships but romantic ones have a special quality to them that sets them apart.

...late evening to the early morning. Nightlife includes the public houses, night clubs, discotheques, bars, live music, concert, shows and sometimes restaurant that has cover charge for admission, and make their money on alcoholic beverages. Nightlife was supposed to be oriented for adults, but nowadays, teenagers preferably high school students are also engaged in this kind of verve. The effects of after- school jams of students has not been well examined. There has been no previous study that focuses on the effect of after- school jams in the academic performances of students. The tracking of academic performance fulfils a number of purposes. Areas of achievement and failure in a student's academic career need to be evaluated in order to foster improvement and make full use of the learning process. On this premise, this study was conducted. It was designed primarily to provide a view of the level of academic performance of students and its relationship with their preferred after- school jam. The researchers believed that preferred after- school jams of the students influence their academic performance. Thus, the determining of academic performance and frequency of their after- school jams is indeed imperative. Hopefully, the result of this study will serve as a basis for the correlation of after- school jams and academic performance of students. Theoretical/Conceptual Framework This study is anchored on Williams 2001 which states that students having uncontrolled after-...

...0 The Relationship between being in a Committed Relationship and Academic Performance in College Females Tania Jimenez and Ashley Tatem Abstract This correlational study investigated the relationship between being in a committed relationship and academic performance in college females. The study involved 60 female undergraduate participants from a small, private, Catholic women’s college in northeastern New Jersey. It was hypothesized that college females who were in a supportive committed relationship would have significantly higher GPAs than students who were in unsupportive relationships. The Psychosocial Intimacy Questionnaire (PIQ, Tesch, 1985) was used to measure intimacy, specifically romantic love, supportiveness, and communication ease in a participant’s committed relationship. A student’s current GPA and questions regarding course failure and academic probatio0n. This study investigated the relationship between being in a committed relationship and academic performance in female college students. College students refer to female undergraduates attending a small, private, Catholic women’s college in northeastern New Jersey, at any class standing (freshmen, sophomore, etc). Committed relationship refers to a monogamous, supportive relationship with the student’s significant other. Academic performance refers to the student’s GPA. A study by Bailey and Miller (1998) investigated if female and male undergraduates are more satisfied with their lives if they have more or less...

...Students Background of the Study Academic performance really means three things: this means the ability to study and remember facts, it also means being able to think in relation to facts and thirdly, it further means being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or practically (www.google.com). A marching band is a company of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment and sometimes in competition. Instrumentations typically include brass, woodwinds and percussion instruments (en.wikipedia.com). The marching band at Partido State University was one of the competing units among the marching bands. They joined military parades, concerts, street parades and many more. It means that joining in marching bands had a lot of trainings and practices to be done. In this regards the academic performance of the band members maybe sacrifice because of double priorities. In addition, the society may have different expectations of the performance of the band members according to their own perspectives. It was observed that there are band members who had incomplete or failing grades. It all depends on how they personally addressed problems as a student and as a band members who got failing grades and incomplete grades faced a consequence of termination as a band scholar. http://www.termpaperwarehouse.com/essay-on/Problems-Encountered-By-Irregular-College-Students/134394 Factors Affecting the Academic Performance of the Third Year Education Students...

...Academic Effects Of Alcohol Consumption Shannell Richardson Lindsay Barrow May 10,2000 Econ 312; Prof, Wolaver Academic Effects of Alcohol Consumption Introduction: In recent years, college students are consuming alcohol at increasing rates. According to the Harvard School of Public Health CoUege Alcohol Study (1999), 44% of the students surveyed were binge drinkers and 23 % were frequent binge drinkers. Binge drinkers are often associated with a higher probability of experiencing alcohol-related problems such as violence, car accidents, injuries and the tendency to disregard academic responsibilities. Much research has been conducted concerning alcohol consumption and its effects on academics in higher education institutions. In our study, we would like to filrther investigate this issue and apply it to Bucknell University. There is a widely accepted conception of Bucknell students' drinking behavior as excessive and dangerous. The Bucknell community, including administration and staff, believe that Bucknell students have a serious problem with alcohol abuse, especially binge drinking. We believe that heavy alcohol consumption can lead to a decrease in class attendance; lower achievement on projects and tests; and inability to concentrate on class material. We intend to uncover the relationship between Bucknell students' alcohol consumption and academics. In addition...
