After high school everyone declares their college and some even declare their major. Parents are so happy and proud of their children's accomplishments. However some parents are looking for their child to accomplish something bigger, graduating from college. As college rolls around the young adult starts getting their dorm stuff, school supplies, and even a new attitude. Finally, the young adult gets to college kisses their parents and promises them they will bring home a diploma. Despite what they say their actions do the opposite.
As the first week of college begins the student has a schedule and everything ready to go. When that first paper comes the student is determined to finish it, then comes the weekend. Everyone is pressuring them to go to the bars and party, however they no they have a paper so they so no. The next week comes and the same things happens. They say no again. Then the third weeks comes around and they change their answer to yes, knowing that they have a paper. The student slowly starts to change and the student no longer becomes a student they become just a person that goes through the motions at college. Parents call every week the young adult assures their parents everything is okay. However, when that year is over that young adult is asked no longer to attend the school. The parents begin to get confused and their child can no longer reassure them that everything is okay.
That is what happens to some college students. Their focus is not where it should be and they are sent home the next year. Peer Pressure happens to the best of us, however it is a small decision that can send peer pressure in a different direction. College is not all about books it can be fun to, however it is up to that person to manage their time.
