I read Off to Class: Incredible and Unusual Schools Around the World by Susan Hughes. I really enjoyed reading this book as I got to see the different kind of schools that kids my age attend. It is sad to see kids in other countries who would love to go to school everyday but can’t because they don’t have one. The biggest reason why I liked this book is because it made me realize not to take going to school for granted because there are so many kids who would love to be in the position that I’m in and learn new things everyday. It is also cool to see all of the different kinds of schools they have in the world.

In a study to examine the relationship between African American college students and stress at Howard University conducted by Sheldon Applewhite et al., it was found that in a group of 165 undergraduate students, 61% of the respondents reported that poor time management contributed to their stress (823). All across college campuses in the United States and around the world, poor time management leads to time related pressures. Time related pressures come in the form of: trying to find enough time to study for midterms and finals, getting class work submitted by the dreaded 11:59 pm deadline, making sure enough time is being spent on homework and projects to ensure quality work is produced, or even simply making sure there is enough time to make it to class on time after working all night to get assignments submitted by the deadline. The pressure to make deadlines all while trying to put one's best work forward often times leads to large amounts of unwanted stress. Learning how to effectively deal with time related pressures during their college years "creates a difference between students who are successful in achieving their goals and those who regret being unaware of the critical aspect of managing time" (Aydin 95).
