Essay / My Personal Opinion on College Pressures - 1224
College PressuresA major thing in life that I think everyone should experience is college. Whether to obtain a general diploma or a specific diploma. Choose something that you would enjoy and wouldn't mind doing every day for the rest of your career. Otherwise, you're wasting your time, your parents' time, and your money. Going to university brings enormous pressures for students. My personal opinion anxiety is a big part of it and I believe it is self-induced pressure just because of your cognitive state. Your thought processes help control your behavior and outcomes in which you study or even take the time to study. I believe the pressures are mainly internal psychological because of all the thoughts coming from the unconscious. These students can think positively or negatively; but our behaviors are based on these thoughts. We experience fear, stress and anxiety because of what comes from our minds.

No, it's what you feel and believe... middle of paper... be determined and ask yourself what you are doing is worth all the fear, stress and anxiety. If you keep in mind why you're doing it and whether you have any incentives or motivations, it shouldn't be as difficult for some people. I know I don't want to work in a low-paying job, struggle to get by, or have to rely on someone to pay my bills and provide for my daughter and me. I would much rather go through school and take on those pressures knowing that. won't be easy, but I'm willing to accept the challenge of getting a better paying job and helping people rather than doing backbreaking work for crazy hours and struggling to get by. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know my daughter will be absolutely grateful once I graduate and start a new career earning almost 3 times the amount I currently make and being able to give her the life I don't. never had..
