into teaching , it does not pay well and the job market is competitive and even high school students are told not to into teaching when they are looking / deciding for majors . So much dreams are crushed by people saying that ‘ oh this field is not good ’ or ‘ you will never find a job ’. No one will ever be happy to choose their major or job if everyone keeps disapproving future career paths .
In general , there is that sadness that you never talk about which is the feeling of being alone . I feel it almost on a regular basis . The feeling that no one is your friend and that you will be forever alone . Every day can be an uphill battle of find motivation to go to class or even leave room . There is an expectation for college students that they have to maintain a status . Students are expected to pass all of their classes , hold a job , and have a significant other before graduation . The times have changed when our parents went to school . College was less expensive allowing them to have fun drinking and partying . College students today have a lot on their plates . The expectations are high causing the pressure to juggle everything . College students do not sleep making up for the time they could have been studying when they were working . Classes are not even easy . This stresses people out causing anxiety . Most adults do not understand the levels of anxiety that students face today . Even having a job , you love can make someone sad . This can be caused by a rough day on the job or not enough hours in the day to complete everything that is important . Even being able to spend time with your friends , they cannot always improve your mood . There are times when nothing is able to make someone one happy . There is a sadness with not knowing what your major will be something that you will not be happy with . People often choose their futures based on money rather than what they want to do with their lives .
People sometimes have a choice to be sad . Crying during a sad movie or wedding are a few examples of choosing to be sad . We are purposely putting ourselves in those particular
situations to be sad . However , with being alone feeling , it is never a choice . It is social angst . 20
