WAKE UP IT'S TIME FOR EXAMS!!!
This feeling seems all so familiar to me that I ACTUALLY MISS IT! I MISS EXAMS, I MISS THE STUDY STRESS, I MISS THE THINGS I DO IN UNI, I MISS THE PEOPLE IN UNI. Now I understand why most people say UNI is the best time of one's life, besides the stress of exams. The people we meet, the bond we created, the lives we can touch is simply great, come to think of it. I rather have exams stress than WORK stress because WORK can really bring you DOWN DOWN DOWN!! Most importantly, the people we meet in the course of our education is VERY much different from the people we come across in the outside world ( that is if we assume UNI as our comfort zone )
Now when I really have some time to sit down at home NOT doing anything, it felt weird. Maybe because home is just like a place for me to sleep/regenerate/heal/wtv you name it while waiting for the next day to arrive. It got me thinking how much of time I actually spend at home? Now that I have the time to spend at home, I don't know what to do with it! Is my life already drifting away from home and being replaced by work? Maybe it's the nature of the work that I dislike which induced such feelings. Home = SLEEP???
Anyhow, when we were in UNI, if we ever ( most of the time ) wake up late/oversleep, we can actually have a choice of skipping lectures/tutorials, but when we are working, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to get our asses up. Choice is never an option to begin with. Somehow or rather, I miss these feelings associated to Uni. Or maybe I just miss being LAZY =P
I wished I could have cherished my uni days more, made the best out of it. I wished I bump into more people and kept friends like how children keep sweets in their pockets. I wished I put in more effort for everything I did but I am happy and proud that UNI felt like my second home where there's a sense of belonging, with all the nice and not so nice people around. Now when I think of certain not so nice people I met in uni, they are nothing compared to the people I meet outside! In uni, we can meet really nice people/friends who believes in sharing is caring, ie assignments. Outside, it's a world of survival of the fittest. In uni, we learn from our mistakes but outside, we cannot AFFORD mistakes! Harsh, but it's the fact.
Where am I heading towards? Maybe I should take up a masters/PHD and stay in UNI! LOL! Certainly in the comfort zone but reflective of myself? Nah... TIME to MAN-UP, STEP IN to the real WORLD. There must be self-belief and mental strength in other to cope with this huge transition but once we get through this transition, we will be on a one way ticket ride all the way to RETIREMENT! For now, I HATE MONDAYS!!!! I WILL STILL!!!
