to another Some popular ballads have been writlen down and uh, a68igned a assigned a number in
a reference book by •• Child Now , "Barbara Allen" Is classJrIed as a ballad because it tells a SIOIy

I disagree that the college yean are the best time In a person's life Admittedly college often
regarded in Western culWres; however the college years must also be viewed es a period 01 high stress
and a certain uncomfortable depeodence
Stress converges on college sludents Irom many directions First, there is the pressure to choose a
majOr field 01 study and ultimately, to select a career choices that will affect the rest oIthair lives These
choices often coincide with another life choice-the selection 01 a marriage partner In combination the
stress associated with such important decisions can be very high Second, there is the dally stress from
competition in the classroom eKacetbated by staying up too late studying lor tests preparing papers
and reading asSignments It Is well documented that college students tend to gain weight and suffer
lrom many stress·related Illnesses
In addition to the stresslul environment most college students are not financlal1y independent Many
rely on their lam ~ les 104' funding a circumstance thaI Is often uncomlortable for young edults Asking 104'
money usually requires an elqllanation 01 why it Is needed In other words financial dependence lor col·

themselves and are old enough to be Independent BesIdes the embarrassment involved In negotiating
104' necessities there is often a strict budget For some students therais also a debt to repay
As a college student myself I view this time 01 life as an opportunity to prepare lor the next and
more impor1ant stage oIlile when I am independent and productive I am eager to begin working and
earning my own way I look lorward to the years after college with the hope that the beslls yet to be
