Pressures as a College Student

In college there are a lot of pressures that can come about. You can be exposed to so many new things and some of those "things" can apply pressure and stress to you. When I began college, I knew that things were going to change and it was going to be tough, but i didnt know how tough.

The biggest pressure i felt starting college was self-induced. I put a lot of pressure on myself to meet standards I made before entering college. I wanted to start college on a new person. I did not know anyone going into this adventure so I wanted to be myself and let people see me for the real person I am.

I never really experienced parental pressures. My parents wanted me to be happy and do what made me happy. They told me that they would support me in whatever I chose to do. I dont feel that i have experienced any peer pressure or economic pressure. I also hope to never experience any of those kinds of pressure either.

What ever you do in life do it because it makes you happy. I wish I was like that. there was a time I would things to make my parents and at the end of the day I would be so unhappy, that I would get depress.
