Pressure of Being a Student

These days, it is often said that almost all people feel pressured in ordinary life. In this time, many students have a big trouble because of pressure. What makes them feel pressured? Now, the reasons of pressure can be classified into mainly four types: economical, academic, and social.
First type about reason of pressure is economical pressure. Many university students don’t have enough money, so many of them have their part-time job. There are various reasons why they have part-time job, but balance between part-time jobs and university classes is sometimes make them feel pressured. Moreover, when becoming a university student, the number of students who live alone away from their home increases. With small money, not only they cannot afford to spend money to their hobbies and travel, but they also cannot buy enough things needed to live. This will lead to chronic pressure.
Next type about reason of pressure is academic pressure. Many university students feel pressured with a lot of homework, big tests at the end of every semester, and many difficult classes. Almost homework is more difficult and heavy than that in high school and more need time to do, for example, essays, reports, presentation. Many students are anxious with big tests, and they study hard without sleeping before the tests. Moreover, classes last 90 minutes per one class, so it’s difficult to maintain concentrate. And some students are in trouble being not able to understand the contents of lessons. These factors make them get irritated, tired, and panic.
Final type about reason of pressure is social pressure. Most of social pressure is caused by relations with other people. Universities don’t have steady classes unlike until high school and students can sit down freely, so students have chance to know many people. And in addition to this, students involve with new people outside of school. These chances are so good, but making with friends is sometimes pressured for some students. Another example of social pressure is to put up with. Occasionally people act is hard to understand. When that happens, the patience is important;but, too bearing makes students be stressful.
In conclusion, it appears that university students are only fun to live, but
students live a life filled with various kinds of pressure. The most important
thing is how they deal with such as pressures.

    There are many examples in your essay. They help me to comprehend your essay. Nice! I agree with your opinion. For instance, economical pressure whose students live apart from their family is stronger than that of students at home.
