The Stress of College

This post is for people who get stressed out easily in life. For highschool students going into college or university. It is for college/university students who get anxiety before tests or exams. So remember:
"Stress is the trash of modern life - we all generate it but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life." ~Danzae Pace

As I was walking into Centennial College for an interview, an average looking girl smoking outside caught my eye. Her friends' were calling her Lindsay. She was about 5'4 inches tall with shinny red hair. Lindsay wore flashy attire with countless lines as well as dots. She was more distinguishable then the rest of the crowd around her.

The way Lindsay pulled on her cigarette reminded me of how my father smokes when he gets stressed out. The way she pulled on her cigarette reminded me of a starving dog gorging on his first meal in days. The cigarette was her cure for her symptom; It was the cure for mending her wound. With each drag Lindsay took her face became smooth, relieved as well as restful. She was definitely stressed about something, only what could it be?

Lindsay was taking photography in Centennial. Her class started in fifteen minutes and she was writing a test. This is what was stressing her out. She was kicked out of her home when she was sixteen because she rebelled against her parents rules. Lindsay is a hard-working eighteen year old lady now. She learned to care for herself and she is determined to succeed in her course. She pays her own rent and travels by subway. She works at a restaurant, which she enjoys because it is her source of income.

Lindsay will do well on her test because she seemed prepared. She was just anxious. Lindsay will be succesful in life; Whether or not she was kicked out of her home, was rebellious, or tried different drugs; It was a phase most teenagers go through. A phase most overcome.
