Educational Depression
and Sadness
One of the prompts we were given for these papers was writing
about sadness relating to or caused by the college experience. These next
few papers explore that connection from several different topics: difficulty
to choosing your field of study, time management, loneliness, stress and
beyond. Writing about college from the perspective of students allows us
to analyze our daily lives and how college has an impact on our emotions.
Every college experience is different and affects the individuals who expe-
rience them in drastically different ways. All in all those, many college stu-
dents can admit to feeling sad or having sadness caused by college.
These papers can, hopefully, shed some light on what we experience in
the institution of college and how it emotionally impacts us.
