COLLEGE IS SO STRESSFUL. 

It's as if your life ends if you don't get into your top college, as if theres nothing more to your life.. Well atleast that's what the people around me make me think. 

As if your class mate will have a better life because he/she got accepted into a better college. Is that really what life is all about? 

This is like a little game and as usual no one ever plays fair. Its like the Hunger Games, its you on your own fighting for your life and your life only. Except its college.. but people sure make it feel like you're competing for survival. Everyone around me is stressed, so i get stressed. The stress is extremely contagious. Its like if you don't stress as much as the people around you, you won't get into a good college like they will. The weight on our shoulders is REAL. The pressure is REAL. The sky-high standards are REAL. The competition is REAL. College applications are REAL. The quarter ending tomorrow is VERY REAL.
