Are you ready for college?

People go off to college unprepared and not aware of how many more responsibilities your going to have being an adult. The transition to college is important because there is a lot more of everything, work,people, and classes. Especially being the first year of college you have to try in order progress and be successful in your later years of school.

An article I came across on the Business Insider about what high schooler's/young adults should know before going into college.  In the beginning of the article Vivian Giang says this about most young adults "They're unprepared for the college-level coursework, financial responsibilities and freedom that they've been granted all of a sudden." I do agree with this and believe this is true because the transition from not worrying about much to being overwhelmed from everything your facing, for many that is what happens but not everyone.

Many students face the same problems in college that pressure them everyday. In my second article it talks about several problems that are putting these students under pressure like debt, depression, time management, social problems, health,working too hard on oneself, etc. Every college student faces at least one of these problems throughout  For each one of these listed in the article they all have a problem and solution explained to each one of them. At the end of this article it says that it's worth it to go through all this pressure because at the end it will be worth it, In the end it also states that"If you ask students, eight out of ten will say it is."


I did answer one of my questions I did have during this research like what pressures are these students facing? 
What will help students be successful in college? How long do you want to attend college for?
