The Stresses of College

It seems that as I get older and older I realize the responsibilities and stresses that college brings. It's funny to think that in only a year I will be in the real world with a real job. I recently spoke to a professor of mine that said that it couldn't be that bad its only school, what else could be so bad. There are so many things that factor into your college life than just class. Yes this does seem to be my hardest semester yet, but other things stress people out as well. Speaking personally sometimes soccer stresses me out the most. I love the game and I love being on the team but dealing with that, school, and a social life can become very difficult. Somebody told me that it seems like as long as the social aspect of your life is going well everything else will seem to go well. I find this to be very true. If your social life is going well then classes will go well and in my case athletics will go well. The social aspect plays such a huge role in college life because, like it or not, that is what college is for, not just class. I'll admit everyone says they are here for classes but everyone knows there are a lot of other things we do here at school. This just seems like the best time to have spring break and allow everyone to unwind just a little. I certainly understand that I can not be the only one getting stressed at this point in the year, especially with midterms and tests this last week. Hopefully spring break can help us all!

  1. Keith I totally agree with your statements about college life being stressful. It is extremely stressful times because when it’s all said and done it is real world time and you’re looking for a career to do for the rest of your life. You have one more year to enjoy college I am entering the real world in a couple of months. If I can throw any advice to you it would be to relax and don't let the stress get to you. In the long run the sports are not going to be that relevant to your success. It is true when the social aspects of life are going well everything seems to be going well. Enjoy next year and good luck my friend.
