The Pressures of Being a College Student (Risa S)

Today, many people are under stress in their life. According to the data on the Internet, a quarter of people feel more or less stress. They feel pressures of human relationship at works and homes the most. It is also backed up by the data. In the same way, I feel the pressures of being a college student. As a college student, I experience social, economic and academic pressures.
There are some causes of social pressures. First, I encountered new things in college life. I met new friends and teachers, and I started new life in the dormitory. As a result, I am sometimes troubled about human relationships. Second, law of Japan defines people who are over 20 years old as adults. I am 19 years old, therefore, my ability is limited. I can choose actions by myself and can drive a car. On the other hand, I cannot go to vote and cannot drink alcohol. I’m not enough adult. I think 19 years old people are between adult and adolescent. In short, surroundings in society cause me pressures. My position in society causes pressure, too.
The next causes of pressures are economic pressures. First of all, I have cooked my meals since I entered the university. I live in the dormitory, so I have to buy daily necessities by myself. It is difficult for me to manage money because I relied on my parents before. Next, it costs to get on with people. For instance, I have to pay for my meal when I go to eat out. When I take a trip with my friends, the fare to the destination costs a good deal. In brief, I am under the economic pressures to manage money. I think I do a part-time job if I need.
The third causes of pressures are academic pressures. To begin with, I have a lot of work to do. Teachers give me many assignments. Time is not enough to do them, so I have to cut down on sleep in order to study. Secondly, I want to receive all credits. Therefore, I must pass all tests and not miss classes as much as possible. Furthermore, if I can get a high score at TOEFL or TOEIC tests, I can study abroad. I want to study abroad if I possible. In summary, I think I need to study harder and harder than ever.
In conclusion, I have many pressures in the college. They are inseparable in my life.  However, I enjoy every day. Going outside, talking with my friends and good sleeping are ways of relaxation for me. Hence, I don’t have to restrain these pressures. I would like to manage pressures in the future.

  1. I also think 19-year-old students are between adult and adolescent.
    They are treated as adalt, but their ability and behavior is limited.
    When I rent my apartment, it required parental consent.

    You sometimes look tired from a lot of assignments.
    I was very impressed that you try to study harder than now.
    You are a solid person.
