Uni is downright THE biggest killjoy, but without uni I’d be the biggest bum out. I know that I’m going to regret not studying when I have the opportunity to catch up on everything this long weekend. But since I my net is uncapped I’ve been continuously downloading tv shows, songs and music videos. -Sigh.
I know I always say this and probably have stressed this issue to an unbelievable extent, but it never ceases to AMAZE me how things can change from a few months to another.
Have a think about all the changes that have occurred since the last couple of months. Like something you wouldn’t usually do but you seem to have turned it into an annoying habit somehow or have a look at whose walked in and out of your life - the close ones? the acquaintances that you would like to develop a much stronger and deeper friendship with.
After reading Jeannie’s blog, it has occurred to me how life is so different from how high school was. We are in a sense trying to establish a sense of independence, be it something as small as getting you P’s or as big as maturing and setting out your priority’s straight. There’s no more baby-ing now, we’re all growing older by the second but it feels as though I’ve learned nothing about the real world. Nothing to prepare me for it. I feel like just a stupid kid who is still trying to find their way in their own little world. Yes, my parents are still here for me but how much more can you really depend on them for ? Isn’t it time to start learning for ourselves, to start striving for more knowledge and concepts of how a small part of this world works ?
Its a scary situation, I know we’re still young but we aren’t getting any younger.
Like a friend once said, “When people ask you what you’re doing nowadays and you reply with ‘oh yeah I’m just studying at uni.’ It doesn’t really show what you’re going to do with your life. Instead it shows that we are still behind the books and are only discovering knowledge of what course we may be studying. There is so much more in this world, reality. - How the real world works without all the bullshit and without all the sheltering and protection of our family.”
In the end, you can only really depend on one person.
Yourself.
