It seems as if students are becoming more and more pressured to attend a four year university than ever, promoting those who do on such a level that those who don’t feel remarkably inferior. It is hard to measure whether or not a student truly wants to be in school, or if they were induced with a mindset of it as a basic…

When it comes to being a student enrolled in high school or college, studying is imperative. Studying gives a student the opportunity to master a subject and to excel in class. While studying is crucial to the success of a student enrolled in high school or college, its elements are different for each. The amount of time it takes to study, the ability to find time to study, and the goal behind studying are all different when it comes to high school and college. Although high school and college…
