Pressure pressure everywhere

Pressure is a part of everyday life. There is water pressure, vapour pressure, air pressure, all sorts of physical pressure exerting themselves on you. If you are weak, all these sorts of physical pressure can make you sick. But what we all suffer from is not physical pressure but mental ones.

A day in the life of a hardworking student: The day starts, and there is pressure to piss and shit and brush your teeth quickly such as to maximise sleep and study time. You go for lessons, and there is pressure not to fall asleep so as to understand the lecture. When the lesson ends, there is pressure to rush to the canteen before the crowds come in. During the tutorial, there is pressure to raise up your hand and answer questions intelligently so that the teacher has a good impression of you. During PE, there is pressure to play your hearts out for your class in the inter-class games. When you reach home, there is pressure to finish all your homework so that you can catch that favourite drama serial of yours. Then, there is pressure to revise your work so that you can go online and do clever stuff like read this blog. In addition, there is peer pressure for you to do your godamn Project Work, without doubt the most irritating subject.

Finally, at night, there is pressure to fall asleep as quickly as possible so as to be ready for the next pressurised day. Phew, what a day.
