And you can`t tell me the stress of that and the dissapointment of not getting it , or getting it & finding you can`t cope doesn`t have any effect.

I'm not gonna lie it can be very stressful.
The only reason I want to go to college is ebcause ihave some idea of what I wanna be when I grow up. And in order to succeed in my career choice (whatever itmay be) I will need a college degree.
And the fact is you don't have to go to college ot be successful.
So many people in my family never went to college or even high shcool and make more money than some trained, college educated professionals.
But the fact is, college and universities aren't the only problems or pressures faced by people.
