5 of the Biggest Peer Pressures College Students Can Face
From the very childhood, we grew up with the conception that giving into peer pressures is bad. However, many of us still experienced it being at school. Note that even after your high school, it will not end. Going to college actually brings a new set of peer pressures any student will surely face with. Here are 5 of the biggest pressures you can experience during your college on daily basis.
- “Will you go out with me tonight?”
This friend doesn’t care about the fact that you have three exams the next two days, unfinished research project and some other assignments. This friend doesn’t want you to be a responsible student. You could be busy and tell him a lot of refusals and he would pressure you into going out by any means. Think twice of having such friends. Nights out aren’t the main purpose of your college studying. - “It would be better for you to stay in dorm tonight”
If you are tired and want to have some rest, there is a friend who will always state that it is not necessarily for you to go out somewhere. However, you shouldn’t always follow this advice. If your friend is a couch potato, you don’t have to satisfy him with being the same. Have some rest in the way you like it. Don’t trust that your friend will order your favorite pizza and you will both watch the movie the whole time. Just suit yourself. - “Let`s skip this boring class”
Yes, some classes are really boring. Still, you have to attend them all. If your friend says like this, he/she doesn’t want you to be a responsible student and succeed with your studying. Attending classes influence your education process, so try to omit this proposal from your friend and go alone. Your main purpose is to get your education. - Snooze button friend
Sleeping is a pleasant thing for everybody, isn’t it? Especially for students. Your friend knows for sure that you are going to wake up early in the morning to finish undone paper. He also sees that you are awake late at night. However, he/she will do everything for you to have a long and sweet sleep in the morning. Sounds great but not for your grade and success. - Netflix
This kind of pressures stands over all the rest mentioned above. “Want to go out? – let`s better watch new episode”, “Want to sleep? – let`s better watch new episode”, “You are going to class? – let`s better watch a new episode”. Remember that you can watch whatever you want only after your finished deals. Don’t trust such friends… They don’t care about their results, and they don’t want you to succeed as well.
