STRESS WEEK WITH GOOGLE: Why is everyone so stressed?
"Why is everyone so stressed?" Hmmm... I think it's because life is a big, fat, "female dog".
I think everyone is stressed because no matter what age we are, we are always expected to accomplish certain tasks that seem impossible to us.
This could be because of lack of time, (*cough cough* you teachers need to chill with these deadlines), lack of skill (*cough cough* teacherssss back at it again with giving us assignments that you never taught us how to do), or simply because we lack motivation to get work done (okay, I guess this one is on us).
Speaking from a college students perspective, I can't answer why a 50 year old man may be stressed, but I can answer why young adults are stressed ALL THE TIME.
We stress over big things and we stress over small things. 9 times out of 10 it is college related stress. We do have lives outside of school and choose to fill that time with being with family, friends, going to our jobs, internships, or even running personal errands like going to the gym or seeing a therapist (at this rate, we all need one😂). Trying to accomplish all those tasks within a day is an extreme sport and your literally racing against time to get everything done.
Personally, I have a job outside of going to college full-time so I literally have to organize my days hour by hour in my phone to ensure I get everything done. It has me feeling like a crazy person saying I have to do homework from 3-5pm then work out 5-6:30pm then have dinner 6:30-7pm then 7-9pm do homework again. LIKE WTF.
This method does work, but just making that damn schedule stresses me out😂
Young adults are constantly expected to have their shit together but lets be honest, no one has everything together. In fact, the most "together" I've felt is when I cleaned my room and finally came around to putting away my clean laundry thats been sitting in my chair for like a week.
All this stress serves as motivation for us to get work done but it can also make us depressed and unhappy. We are all stressed trying to get our life together and reach the HIGH expectations of our teachers, parents, managers, etc. It's hard balancing out the freedom and fun of being an adult with the education and obligations that come with age.
We all stress for different reasons but as long as we cope with it in healthy ways I promise we will all get through it somehow😌.
