The pressure of making the

The pressure of making the top notch grades to be accepted.

The annoyance of people's "advice" telling me what to do with my life.

The inequality of aid given out to those who need it more than others.

The inequality of being judged by a score on a test.

What are you exactly? You are college and all the stress that accompanies it.

You are the midnight cry of a college student trying to cram every bit of information in her brain.

You are the gallop across the school campus just to make it on time to class.

You are the helplessness of a student barely balancing her 3 jobs and 17 hours of classes.

You are the debt of a graduate who cannot afford to live a worry-free life.

Changing college would be changing the world, but changing a student can change life as we know it.
