College Pressures In College Students

Youth experience college differently due to their foundations. Through many forms of communication, we have become conscious of the difficulties college students encounter because of pressures that intervene amidst their equanimity and education. The Ted talk "Bring on the learning revolution!" presented by Sir Ken Robinson, a well–received speaker of TED and the essay "College Pressures" by William Zinsser, a journalist, portray the crisis students are undoubtedly undergoing. While they executed their main points through the means of distinct genres, their ideas complement each other when discussing the real–life experiences students have in college. Whether it be economic, parental, peer, and or self–induced pressures demonstrated to affect students (in the author's works), they don't seem overwhelming until one confronts them. Both texts contained the emphasis that pressures, among causing temporary frustrations can also lead to adverse life–changing effects.

I have run into the same wall too, myself, and then only understood the degree of uneasiness that situates other scholars in the state of mental devastation.
