Struggles of being a student

No matter who you ask about the best part of life, everyone will say "student life".
Students, of course, strongly neglect this statement, because they haven't experienced life the way that older people have.

Things that trouble students

Lot of students left their homes and moved in new cities. They either found a small flat or place in student home and finally, they have their freedom. Sweet freedom, where you wash the dishes whenever you want (or don't, it's up to you), where if you come home next day around noon, you won't be grounded, where you do whatever you want to do. You can meet friends whenever you want and skip lunch, eat junk food without hearing criticism from your parents. Ouh, it sounds too good to be true, right?
We all know that behind this life we've always wanted to live are many problems.
Firstly, shortage of money. Parents pay for your living (place, bills, food) and that's a lot of money. As a student you like to party and drinks and food are not free. You know you can't ask parents for more, but you also really want to go to the party. Secondly, as semester is progressing, your duties also progress. You have to study harder and spent more time reading than being couch potato or sleeping all day. If you haven't done anything but partying all semester, you won't have a nice time when finals start to kick in. 


Thirdly, fear of failing. University is hard and you really have to want it to succeed. It's not high school and people expect great things of you. Your entire future depends on this. Your parents expect from you that you finish college and find a job, help out a family. And when you have all that in mind it is not very easy to focus on studying, because you know the significance of passing an exam. 
Lastly, as Mark Twain would say: "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog." While you're on university, you'll meet a lot of people. You'll probably get more disappointed than satisfied and happy. You'll meet more people you'll want to run away from than to spend time with them. You'll see what kinds of people exist and that will give you an experience for life. 

Finals be like
