Whether you are trying to get the highest score on your next test, become the next Rafael Nadal, or get accepted into medical school, many students are feeling the pressure to succeed.
"I was looking for an answer and researched different things," says one college student.
Often times, that research reveals prescription drugs.
Andrew says, "I mean it's like going through the drive through at McDonald's pretty much."
Andrew tells me the competitiveness of school is what led him to start using prescription drugs.
"It's the more time you can spend in putting forth into your craft, into what you love, whether it be a business or studying, the better you become at it."
Other university students, however, feel popping pills is a dangerous fad that is taken very lightly.
Nathan Perritano explains, "They don't look at the long term side effects. They just look at, oh I need to get this done, I need to make the grade now, I'll worry about the consequences later."
As for now, many students have to make it through the present before they can even think about the future and its consequences.

"I have the perspective where I know if something's not healthy or if I'm abusing something, or stuff like that, I know where that line is drawn."
