many college students say that they are facing so many pressures in their lives that they are on the go from morning till night. what, then, are the pressures on college students?there are generally three kinds of pressures on college students. the first pressure comes from the students themselves. in order to become top students and to win a scholarship, many students spend more time on studying but less time on recreation or rest.

　　the second pressure stems from their peer groups. finding that their classmates are staying up late, many students will feel guilty if they do something else. they think the only way to overcome the fear of being left behind the others is to study even harder. the last pressure derives from the competition in finding a job after graduation. there is a sharp increase in the number of college graduates in job markets in recent years, making it hard for college students to find jobs. many students believe that the more knowledge they learn now at college, the more chance they will have in finding a job in the future on the job market.

　　a certain amount of pressures is not necessarily a bad thing. it stimulates students to make continuous efforts with their studies. however, too much pressure is certainly harmful to one's well being. college students ought to come to terms with themselves and the world around them. moreover, they ought to learn how to relieve themselves of unnecessary pressures in their daily lives.
