Due to the change of study and living environment, college students are often prone to contradictions and confusion. Some of them show a real sense of loss. Because middle school students are full of yearning for universities, students also regard the college entrance examination as the only and ultimate goal to motivate themselves. But when I stepped into the university campus, I suddenly found that the truth was not what I thought, and then I missed my past middle school life.

After entering the university, there will be a sense of loneliness from relying on parents to living relatively independently.

The sexual development of college students is mature, and the problem of love is inevitable. Due to the lack of adolescent education and correct guidance, many students simply don't know what true love is, and some students can't correctly handle the communication between the opposite sex and the emotional problems of both sides, resulting in love confusion and sexual confusion. A few students also have abnormal behaviors, and some fall into pain, confusion and depression because of contradictions and conflicts between their understanding of love and specific problems in reality.

After entering the university, how to get along well with the students around and establish harmonious interpersonal relationships has become an important topic for college students.

These conditions lead to some psychological obstacles when college students choose jobs, which are mainly manifested in inferiority, fear, pride and doubt.

6. Economic burden

For some college students from remote rural areas, the economic burden is far heavier than other burdens. In order to relieve the pressure of life, some college students find tutors, do short-term jobs and do business to maintain their studies. The heavy economic burden makes many students bear great psychological pressure, resulting in inferiority, anxiety, narrowness, literary psychology and so on.
