Student Life is the most memorable time of one’s life. Most of our first time experiences come from this time when we are the most impulsive and spend the least time thinking before our actions.
In this wild and impulsive time of our life, many of us face some problems which we do not feel comfortable enough to speak about.
Although it is very important to share these problems, there might not be people around us who will understand them and advise us appropriately. Finding someone appropriate for advice is part of the problem as well.
Here is a list of problems that a student might face and advice related to them:
1. Pressure of expectations
Expectations can be very controversial. While expectations can be encouraging for some, it can be a burden for the others. It is okay to expect a certain level of performance from someone but the bar should not be raised too high as it can be very burdening for the performer.
Also if they are failing to meet the expectations they tend to believe that they are not worthy. This can be very discouraging.
For all the teachers and parents out there, always know the limit of your expectations and let the person know that even if they fail, they are worthy.
2. Anxiety
It is very common to find anxiety among students as they are exposed to a lot when they aren’t mature enough. Ruined sleep cycle loss of appetite, lack of interest and confidence, etc. are all symptoms of anxiety but it is not advised to panic right away.
You, yourself can practice a few things when these symptoms are in a primitive stage. For example, meditation, taking a break, finding a stress-relieving exercise, reading books and taking ample time to relax.
But remember that if you aren’t able to deal with anxiety in the primitive stage, it is going to get more serious and you must not wait for it to get serious to take some actions.
3. Distractions
Distractions are a constant episode of life but we are the most vulnerable to them in our student life. Recreation and distraction are very different.
While recreation lets you take a break and refresh yourself, distraction keeps you diverted even in the times you need to focus. Hence, you need to be careful about where you are a giving your time.
Time is not to be spent but invested.
If you are currently stuck in any kind of situation which distracts you, you should either cut off your involvement or try to decrease its effect on you.
4. Not understanding where to invest time
As already said, time is not to be spent but invested because time is money and the most expensive thing one can have. It is important that you invest your time in situations where you get to take back knowledge.
During student life, we make a lot of bad mistakes but as long as those mistakes have something to teach us, the mistakes are worth it. But this does not mean that you intentionally need to make the wrong mistake.
Listen to your intuition, take part in things that excite and inspire you, take part in healthy social discussions, go after your hobbies and passion, there is a lot more to the world than you think once you start to explore.
Conclusion
This time of your life is the most important stage of your life as your performance during this time of life will decide your career and your future. Open your arms wide and take in as much of this world as possible, explore everything that is worth, make mistakes and correct them, but do not stop whatsoever.
All your problems are just another lesson of your life and once you complete it, your life is going to be so much better, for sure.
