attending class and completing assignments and having time to study . As previously stated , there is only so much time in a day , and not everything can be accomplished , so some area must suffer . There lies a choice , whether to work for money to pay for living expenses , or to go to every class and complete all classwork . Society firmly pushes for students to focus primarily on their studies , but in today ’ s world , that isn ’ t always reasonable .

Roommates and dorms are another common anger inducing part of college , especially if the roommates don ’ t get along very well .
