Hi! This is a great question and all depends on what you make of college. College can be strenuous depending on the classes you take or credits etc. However, if you are passionate and know what study method works for you, you can do great in any class! Studying can seem like a daunting task or challenge, but it is necessary in certain classes of fields to study to get good grades or understanding of a subject. For example, I am a Biology major on the pre-med track and some of my classes require lots of studying. I like to study in groups, make flashcards, watch videos, and make studying and retaining information easier. So to answer your question, you don’t necessarily have to study for some things, but studying makes a greater impact on areas you may lack or want to understand a deeper meaning to.

Hello, Emma !
It's great that you are starting to think about college and I see that you are interested in Engineering and Education by your tags.
If you didn't "study", meaning taking a degree in something in college, you wouldn't know how or what to do while working in a career, so yes, you must go to college for many careers and a degree would be necessary as it shows that you have the intellectual and hands on knowledge to execute a position in the work force. You would have to want to go to college and also obtain certifications, licenses and know that learning and studying does not end after you graduate. Give it more thought because it is a financial and time commitment but it is worth it all in the end if you want a professional career.
Not everyone's college experience is strenuous, but mine was. As a Theatre major, it was extremely demanding mentally, physically, creatively and occupied every minute of my day. I think the performance majors are more strenuous than other types of majors, but I wouldn't imagine something like engineering or education being too taxing physically, rather it would be time consuming and challenging in different ways. It all prepares you for the real world and that is why the college experience cannot be compared with any other route to get ready for a profession. No one can make that choice for you. You can give it time before you make a decision to enroll in college.
Since you are asking why you need to study, you may not be familiar with college. I would advise that you visit your closest college and ask if you could audit a class. This way, you'd get a glimpse of what happens in a college class and you can interact and speak with students. Become familiar with the entire layout of the campus and visit the different buildings. This will confirm whether or not you'd want to go to college. Being a college student means - you study.
I hope that this is helpful and I wish you all the best !

Emma, to answer your question, yes college will be strenuous. However that is the point. One thing they don’t tell you about college is that some part of college is just a test of grit, determination, and resiliency.
It comes down to “Is Emma able to see this process through until the end?” So you need to study in order to pass, you need to pass in order to graduate and you need graduate in order to tell them yes Emma can see this process through until the end, without actually saying it. That’s the important part of your question.
Please don’t get me wrong, you do need to retain a lot of the information you learn because it’s the degree you plan to use for the career you choose.
You need to study in order to reduce the stress of the class you are taking. Test anxiety is real and we experience mainly due to a lack of preparation. So get the degree you deserve. Reduce the stress so you can enjoy the process.
It’s all about the process and you deserve to enjoy it!

Hi Emma!
I hope the day finds you well!
So, most of us equate "studying" with academics, whether it's in grade school or college. But for me, "studying" is something I do every day in my career and personal life. The word "study" is derived from Latin and means to have eagerness or zeal". To be a student is to be someone that has eagerness and zeal to learn, not just in school, but in things that we care about.
Basically, I equate studying with learning and developing. Your "job" at the moment is to be a student, and as a student, how you learn and develop is to "study". As a professional, we might not be studying in the typical sense, but we are all learning and developing new skills to further enhance our careers.
Sometimes, re-framing the situation helps with how we approach a situation.
Best of luck and happy learning!
