Response to "Too Much Is Not So Good"

I found a few stuff on Shiyun’s blog that I agreed on:

“Most high school students are pressured to get the best grades in the class and get accepted into the best colleges. They would spent most of their time studying and reading most of the time.  We should enjoy the time that we have until we become adults. We should reserve some time to have some fun and laugh with friends.”

The pressure to get into college is increasing and it makes students feel as if they need to spend every moment of their life to study and get good grades. It also pressured them to cheat in order to do well like their peers. The pressure is stressful and sometimes, going to the best colleges might be a wrong choice. It varies from students to students due to their strengths and their interests. Not every single students need to aim for the best college.

            Moreover, what is a good college? Is an elite school really rich and provides many resources. Do they have smart students there? A good college is different depending on people’s views. Furthermore, every student is smart. I don’t think that society should separate the students as either smart or dumb. Everyone holds different potentials. Some students might not be able to show it yet because they haven’t discovered it themselves.

            Also, the fact that our time to play and mess around is limited as well. we spend nineteen years to be kids. After that, we might spend almost eighty years acting as adults. With the increase pressure to study, our lives are mostly wasted since one third of our time is dedicated to sleeping. Another third would be for work or school. We have one third of our life left and that is the time we should spend on enjoying our life to the fullest. If we don’t spend time with families and friends, we would repeat our day over and over again which is really dull. We should spend time since our life is short. Our time to be with family members are limited because we can’t guarantee that they will be with us till we die.
