“College Pressure” by William Zinsser

William Zinsser in his essay “College Pressure” shows the most important pressures that most college students usually have to face. He classified these pressures in four groups: economic, parental, peer and self-induced. Also, the author points out how these difficulties affect the student's life. In my opinion, the main effect caused by them is stress and definitely it can lower the student performance. It is pretty hard to deal with any kind of pressure, but students need to learn how to manage them in order to be successful. Life is full of difficult situations, so if you as a student wants to achieve your goals, you need to focus on your studies. In addition, keeping in mind that your priority must be to finish college and be the best in your area.
