Stress is everywhere but the most stressed people are those who are in college. We have so much going for us in college. It will either make us or break us.

1. Getting stuff ready for classes

Trying to get everything ready for class its actually quite stressful because it is the fact of do you really need this for class. Would you rather write the notes or type the notes.

2. Buying books

All that money that has went towards book that you may never use

3. Monday tests

Everyone hates Monday's already but when a professor puts a test on a Monday that makes it worse. Stressful at the most because some people may still be receiving from a very eventful weekend and forgot study.

4. Waiting to do assignments at the last minute

Don't wait till the last minute it will not work out.

5. Professors who talk too fast 

These professors are the worst, not like personally but for those who like to take notes, they suck. Especially when they don't have a powerpoint to go with the lecture. Even if they had a power point that may go to fast with that as well.

6. Group projects

Then one person ends up doing the whole assignment

7. Balancing work and class

If you are a full time student and also work wether it be on campus or not. It is hard to balance both. Normally a job will work around your college schedule. If you can balance work, class, sleep, and social life more power to you.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
