As a student especially, doing a presentation or speaking in public can be nerve-wracking. All eyes are on you and no one else can help you move things along. You are the deciding factor in the presentation; you alone make it or break it. Much of the anxiety that arise from presentations do not actually originate from outside sources. Unless you are a stand-up comedian in a packed room on a Friday night, most of the time you will find that your audience is both quiet and respectful. Any pressure or anxiety you feel before going onstage and making that speech actually comes from yourself.

Studying is one of the most hated terms in the English dictionary; well, only if you're a student that is. The older most students get, usually around high school and into college or university, the more time is spent studying for quizzes, tests and exams.

However, those who suffer from poverty or burdened by physical disabilities are recognized as weak and incapable. They epitomize the disadvantaged victims in the endeavor for survival and diminished into degrading inferiority… while in contrast, the rich dominate with accumulating wealth and in status authority.

Late night study sessions are quintessential aspects of high school. The terrifying sugar-induced rush, the stockpiles of coffee and soda, and the blaring music all lead to one thing: last-minute procrastination.

There is simply not enough time throughout the week or even in the day. Weekends are spent having fun, going to parties, and being lazy, not studying in a dark little room. But then, what time is left for schoolwork? A night is not infinite and we can’t all conjure up time-turners.

Remember in middle school, when you watched all of those movies about high school and just thought “wow, I’m going to go to high school and be so cool.”But then you got to high school and nobody was waiting for you outside of the church, you never had Saturday detention with five stereotypical kids, and you never took down John Tucker or the Plastics. So you aren’t as cool as the kids in the movies, and honestly, it kind of sucks. Trust me, I’m in the same boat as you.
