Life as a Student

I'm sure that most, if not all, of us grow up constantly listening to this popular saying. "Work hard now, you've got plenty of time to enjoy later!" This especially applies to those taking public exams, or in uni/college. Did i strike a familiar bell? Well, the statement has some truth to it, especially when after public exams, e.g SPM, STPM, you've got plenty of time to rot in your house.

But wait, for those form6-ers, we all got this from teachers, seniors alike, "If you can conquer STPM, there's nothing in this world that you can't conquer!" Erm, sorry to burst your bubbles, but University isn't as easy as thought. Yea, i think definitely university, in a semester, does not cover three chemistry books, two physics books and two math books. But for now, we're covering one materials book, one mechanics book, one math book, one (or many more) geology book, C++ computer programming, and for me, basic japanese all in one semester (4 months the most). Look at the workload man... and this is the first year first sem, supposedly the free-est sem for the whole degree programme. Yippee~~ i am so looking forward to second year!

Moral of the story: 1. There's no such thing as life's gonna get easier. It's just gonna get tougher and tougher. Again, this applies to the general crowd. If you're some genius, then uni can't even make you sweat. And after graduation, you find yourself sitting comfortably in some cia-pa-eng-co-shu-cho company/department, then life's easy.
2. University MAY be the best time of your life. Depends on how you use it.
3. Don't be lazy, thinking there's time...

however, one thing's for sure. Studying sure beats working. Hehe. Those who have worked, you'd understand.
