Pressures of Being a Student
I am a university student. Since I started the university, my life has changed compared with what I was; I cannot depend on my parents. College students are busy in studying, cooking, cleaning, and enjoying their hobbies and club activities. There are many pressures of being a student on academic, financial, and emotional points.
First, in the university, students take various classes like English, biology, and chemistry. Thus, there are lots of homework and term papers. They cost students so much time. Especially, in this university, English class consists of four parts; reading, writing, listening and communication class. We have to study English every day. However, because I am not so good at English, I cannot finish my homework in a short time. I want to improve English skills, but it is difficult for me, so sometimes I get stressed.
In addition, In Japan, many university students belong to clubs. Club activities have various events. In my case, because I was requested to be an organizer, I must take part in all events such as drinking party and a welcome meeting for new freshmen. Thus they require vast expenditure. Besides, I have to arrange meals by myself from shopping to washing the dishes. So, food expenses are also needed. Moreover, I have to buy the necessities of life like shampoo and any other cleaning substances. To cover a part of these expenditure, I work part-time job about four times a week. It is quite tiring for me and I want more free time!
Finally, students in the university live in the dormitory. Sometimes problems happen such as homesickness and worriment while we are sick. About a month ago, I got a cold. I suffered from fever, sore throat and snivel. Parents looked after me before, but now I have to do some things like seeing a doctor, and taking a medicine by myself. Fortunately, my roommate helped me so much and I got well.
Indeed, being a university student, we are freer than before and have good days, but freedom carries responsibility. These responsibilities in academic, financial, and emotional points make me feel pressured. I have to be positive under the pressures.
