1. Study.Good Times Bad Times

Problem:  well starting with such a problem i think theirs not much to tell about as most of it is self explain0try as most of face this problem through out our high school but its bit different in college.In college the course is more tough and is lengthy and what most of the folks do is wait for the last time cramming,please don’t do that you’ll kill many of your un-replenishable neurons.

solution-Start studying bit bit from the beginning.Note that i am not telling to get drenched into studies from the day one just make it a habbit to spend some time to recall and arrange things in your precious brain,that way

you’ll make your brain work more efficiently.

2. Money

Problem:  As the years have passed the cost of higher studies is rocketing towards the sky and that too improportionatily to the economical growth.
A lot of students have to leave their studies in between their studies to do some par-time job and pay their college fee and now its becoming rare to find graduates without a debt on their shoulders.

Solution-Buzzfund is the most adapt concept that has been implemented as of i know.What it does is exposes online and anyone who thinks that you deserve a scholarship or some financial  support then he/she may support you.Another good idea is that students should shop less and try to purchase some second hand text books.

3. Job

Problem:As i said above that higher education is becoming costly day by day ,what students do to combat this is get a job and then join a college team and at the same time also study to get good marks/grades so that they can get jobs after they graduate,well as all this appears good one thing that happens is student is deprived of sleep and this may cause a serious health hazard.

solution-students should make a proper schedule and try to abide by it.They should take care that they are getting proper sleep.As of job is considered take care that you take work in the time slot when you are free.

4. Homesickness

Problem: Almost every student going to college away from his/her home feels homesick a some or the other time,its a different topic that they wont reveal it.New students in particular are prone to be homesick as they are not give most of the privileges so they feel as if they have been isolated.

solution-students should visit their home at-least once every month,but if they are from far places then it wont be difficult,in that case they should talk to their friends back home or to their parents.Now as internet is available almost every where its a good way to save some money and at the same time remain in touch with your home.

5. Depression

Problem:Most of the problems mentioned above contribute in a synergistic manner to give rise to this problem.Students are unable to recognise the cause of their problem and keep on suffering from it.While a few of them get rid of this trouble by having fun and they’re even sucessful in doing so,and others keep on suffering.

solution-If the depression goes beyond your tolerating limit its advisable to take some counseling as most of the colleges offer free counseling and most of the counsellors are really helpful and are ready to go out of their routine job to help you out.

6. Health Issues

Problem-As the stress develops students start working beyond their normal limit and get deprived of sleep and this along with some other factors calls in the need for medical attention.
It is very often that students living in improperly ventilated rooms and in rooms or dorms that are populated get sick more often then those living in well ventilated and clean rooms.

Solution-One should eat well and have an optimal times sleep so that body is rejuvenated and ready to face the stresses that it faces in every days college life.Surroundings should be kept clean.In most of the colleges with boarding facilities their is a hospital attached to it sh that in case of any medical emergency hospital is easy to reach.

7.Conflict  Among Inmates.

Problem-As most of the time friends living in the same room or flat are together and like two side of coin they sometimes becomes really difficult to tolerate and even the friends that have known each other since their childhood days ,may fight

Solution-Its a good idea to go out alone once in a while to get yourself right and be oneself,this will give roommates time to be themselves and believe this really works. You can go out to a coffee shop or a movie think of yourself make yourself feel spiritual if you are that sort of person.

8. Partying

Problem-Now just pay attention ,parties were mend to relieve students from the stress but what happen most of the times in todays world is that parties themselves are the reasons of a lot of problems namely-alcohol addiction,drugs,.unsafe sex
Well all of them can ruin ones life as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is one of the leading causes of road accidents.
unsafe may cause any of the sexually transmitted diseases.

Solution-Try not to drink in each every party you visit ,please take note that i am not asking you to become a tee-totaller i just mean to say take care when you drink their is someone who is not drunk and can drive you back safely.Take proper precautions while having sex(use condoms).

9. Relationships

Problem:Its nice to have relationships but once in a while some mis-understanding may occur and it may even result in break-ups this further adds up to the increasing stress of the college life.

Solution-If such a thing happens please take care of sorting out the conflicts as its really hard to have good relationships now a days,go to a counsellor and try not to bring out the old conficts.If in anycase break-up does occur please contact a counsellor or for that matter even your friend who is willing to share your grief.

10. Deciding A Major

Problem-Most of the folks give a lot of thinking to their major and have a misconception that its their major that’ll decide how their career shapes-up and how much are they gooing to earn when they get a job.

Solution-Please know all the pros and cons of you major and try to opt for one that you really like doing as this is of utmost importance and if you don’t do a maters in some other field you’ll have to stick the one choose right now.
Their are lot of examples where people have done major in one subject and then moved onto some other niche by doing  a maters.

The problems that students face is only a small description of what students in college face,their are even much more individual problems that beyond the scope of this article but if you ask a person who has passed the college you’ll come to know that its the college life experiences that made him/her a better person and gave the opportunity to get accustomed to the stress that one may face during their career.So in the end its worth facing it all.

Cheers to the college life!!!!!!
