Why is College so Stressful?

@Riversider I like college I just don’t like the layout if that makes sense. All we ever do is homework,study, and exams but we don’t get to actually learn. I wouldn’t have a problem if there was less exam and more learning. Yes, I will be transferring soon and am excited yet nervous. I cannot wait to finally graduate and be done. I am so busy I don’t have time to workout or even hang out with my guy friend except like once a month if that. One of the academics here keeps yelling at me but I’m sure it’s his way of touch love maybe? One advisor is my friend and has been super supportive. So much has happened like I lost my dad to malpractice when I first started and my grandpa died last year and then I was hospitalized at one point at etc…(they basically told me never be that stressed out again since I ended up blacking out). I work and go to school and through my past jobs I’ve actually learned more. Then one of my aunties keeps comparing me and even told me “omg just change your major even if it’s easy and you don’t like it so you can graduate” which I found absurd. Eating I eat maybe once a day now. I feel bad because I was supposed to finish on time last year and all my mates are done (granted they majored in much easier stuff). For me to make many changes requires time which I don’t have which is sad. I feel unmotivated by the time it’s taken me and the age I’ll graduate (I’m 24 now so about 26 or 27 I should be done). I feel it’s mostly the layout as I stated. Haha hopefully all this stress will be left in college. You think?

It’s okay. Life threw some curve balls but you managed and now moving on to the next phase. Stay focused, stay healthy, finish education and start independent adult life. I hope you find happiness and spread it around to others too.
