As a college student, the workload is quite high. Many lecture classes and many labs contribute heavily to this. I am in Chem 2 and Bio 201 which are both heavy lecture classes. I then have a lab that corresponds to each. This puts a lot of stress on me because of the amount of material that is in these courses. Chem 2 lecture has some very
challenging topics especially for someone who has only taken one basic chemistry class in high school. Bio 201 is also challenging for me just because of the sheer amount of material covered in a single lecture. In just an hour, the professor covers over 30 slides full of new topics and definitions. These classes are 3 days a week in the morning which makes it even harder. I am not a morning person so even a 9:30 am class is tough for me.
Another common thing about most college students is that they are broke. I am working 2 jobs as of right now and have a side hustle which takes up lots of study time. I am trying to earn money while also balancing my academic workload. I work an on campus job
dish washing and an off campus job dish washing. I am currently thinking of quitting my job at school because I am starting to feel safe on my finances and need more study time. I am struggling in these classes and it would definitely be beneficial to have more time to learn the challenging topics in these courses. The only reason why I was working two jobs was because I had to pay for my next semester of school. I had less than 100 dollars in my bank account so I felt the need to work extra.
I agree, the amount of slides and information gone over in Bio 201 is a lot to handle.
I agree 100% that the workload of college is a lot. Not only do we have the classes and the homework they give, but also we have to take time for every class to study. Along with school, we are all working jobs in order to pay for the education are getting. All this increases the stress of college students.
