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.

ReplyDeleteThat is an article on how to deal with college stress. I completely agree life can not be just about studying. Nice use on the comma after for example.
Very nice article. I couldn't agree more, college is all about being able to prioritize. Just like you said that only studying leads to an unhealthy lifestyle, that same goes for the opposite. If the only thing you do in college is party then you will soon find yourself on the Academic Warning list.
ReplyDeletePatty, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog! I really think it is true that you do become more stressed about a test or a final if you constantly study for it and don’t stop and do something else for a while. I really like your uncle’s advice on studying and how you tied it into your article.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good blog Patty, you have a good point about giving your brain a break. I do better on tests if I study a little bit then go do something else to get my mind off of it. I like your picture on stressed and desserts.
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing a good job on having a different topic each week. Don't forget to try and write about your essay topic! It will help when you write your essay because you can come up with ideas for it while you blog!
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to leave out commas. :)
Dude this is a solid post. I can't really stress (no pun intended) how much fun college is going to be. I think that high school is more stressful than life in college though. Mostly everyone is mature in college so there will be less drama.
