I Try...

I don't have much time to blog, but I will because I promised myself that I would...Ok...
The past weekend has been very busy and it will continue to be busy until my semester holidays start...I just can't wait for it...I'm swamped with practicals and assignments almost every other day...And as I stay here blogging, one assignment is already beckoning me, telling me that it is due this Thursday...

I hate procrastinating...I really do...but I can't help it...and I have like 3 more assignments to do with a few more popping up the last minute as usual...I thought secondary school life was hectic...little did I know of college life...People always say that college life is the best years of one's life...I cannot agree or disagree to this statement as I have yet to graduate...

But let me give you a glimpse of what I think when people say that college life was the best years of their life. These people could be the very ones that I am seeing around right now...flunking papers, resitting exams or scrapping by their papers...barely...spends their time in the student center playing computer games...or skipping classes and fooling around during lessons...never a care in the world...You'd be thinking, "Bill Gates succeeded." Excuse me, if you had the brains of Bill Gates, you won't be here...you'd be running your own company by now and partying till dawn...He is super smart and you are a super moron....see? Total opposites....since you don't have his abilities you  might as well pay attention.

"Ya...you study now, good results, for what? You go out work also no use what....your skills are most important, not your exam results...."
This is one response I got from a student and I bet many others will say the same if I told them to be more serious in their studies...hello? People? Are you morons by nature or just won't use your God given brains to think? The papers that we are sitting are all basics for us to use in the future...you're not learning stuff that you can throw in the dustbin like the ones taught to us in secondary school, you are in the hospitality line!

And just in case you did not make the connection my dear friends, final exams is only accounted for 40 percent of the entire subject. That means the other 60 percent has to come from skills learnt and from observation isn't it? Nobody can have excellent results unless they fared well for both written and practical examinations. So please don't tell me that my results are not important because it shows my commitment alright? We are not in secondary school anymore where the exams are all based only on written papers...there is more to it than that.

Yes, I agree that we do need our R&R time as all study and no play made Jack a dull boy...I don't like studying, but it doesn't mean that I won't...I love playing, but it doesn't mean I do it all the time...one must know one's limit and when to pull the stops...there are limits to everything...and by growing up you will actually learn more...accept more responsibilities and focus...it's not very hard is it?

Wake up and smell the flowers people...or better yet, yourself...if you stink, go get a bath and refresh your thoughts...nobody wants your yesterday's smell and thoughts...move onwards people and pay more attention to what you do now...it may help you in the near future....you're not called graduates for no reason.

Move onwards,
