One major reason students become stressed in college is because they are studying so much they lose their time and organization. Yes, many colleges do have places to work out and many different organizations that every student is welcome to join, but even with those extra cirricular activities many people feel they need to be studying. The reason for all this studying is so they don't become another name on the Acedemic Warning list. One word of advice i heard from my uncle is " If all you do is study you will only make things worse." I totally agree with that statement because in college and even high school if all a student's life is about studying that person will become more stressed and either become sick or very unhealthy. For example, if a second grade kid comes home every single day and only studys without any time to play or have fun that kid would be very stressed and way overwhelmed. The same goes for college students. Working out, hanging out, or even reading a magazine or book that person enjoy is a way to keep a healthy life by giving the brain a time to relax. College is the one time in a person's life they need to keep busy on school work, but also have a good time and absorb college life, so keeping busy in both worlds is a good idea.

Love to work?

Many students freak out when they hear the question, "What do you want to major in once getting into college?", because they really just do not know. It is very stressful knowing that the occupation of one's choice will someday determine where they live and what they own. One thing to remember is to never rush into a major from pressure. It is the one place a person can never run from especially in the real world. Think of something enjoyable that wouldn't be seen as work, but more of a hobby while being paid. Never go into a major for the money! Many people go into a major for the money and end up with a stressful unhealthy life. For example, doctors make a lot of money in the medical field, but many of them also have a large amount of paperwork and long hours in the office aside from seeing patients. For some people that type of labor isn't ideal and can come off as very boring and in the end not worth the money they are receiving. There are a numerous amount of students who walk into college knowing their major, but in reality only half of those students graduate with that major from their change of interest. Everyone has time to explore the wonders of many jobs, so find something you love and enjoy!
