A student's life- love it or hate it????

Whoever said a uni student’s life is fun- STFU

This is life as a university student:

1.) You sometimes doubt if the course you are taking now really suits you.

2.) Graduation, to you = freedom. Free from assignments, tutorials, tests/ quizzes, boring lectures, exercises, exams and most importantly, those “inhumane” examiners who never seem to understand student’s feelings but instead, torture us by setting “absurd” exam questions and difficult assignment questions until the time and effort you spent doing it does not justify the marks weighted for it (unfortunately, though you did your best, the examiner didn’t think so). But fret not; NOT ALL lectures are boring and NOT ALL examiners are “inhumane”. There are still some understanding and caring lecturers around who would reply any emails within 24 hours)

3.) You dread entering the corporate world but at the same time, you are dieing to leave the “torture chamber”. The word “quitting now” does not exist in your vocabulary since you have come so far already and you really need that piece of paper (@certificate). So the only consolation about working is at least you get paid for being “tortured”, unlike students who pay to be tortured.

4.) Several weeks before exams, you cannot get what you are studying into your head because your brains are “saturated”. You only gain your momentum when exam is one/two weeks away, and that is when you begin to study frantically. Stress builds up and multiple ulcers start developing in your mouth (it sucks when you have a few big white ulcers on your tonsils).

5.) When exams and assignment deadlines are just around the corner, you no longer communicate. Instead, you whine, rant, vent, complain, and exude profanities...

6.) You no longer lead the “makan bola, tidur bola and minum Coca Cola” lifestyle. Instead, your lifestyle now is “makan buku, tidur buku and minum Coca Cola”. Note: the reason why you are drinking Coca Cola now is because of the caffeine factor. One of these is a necessity: Coffee, energy bars, Red Bull, Brands essence of chicken, herbal tea, and ginseng tea. (Mine's herbal tea to "reduce heatiness")

7.) The alarm clock tells you when it’s time to go to sleep. During certain times of the semester (every uni student will know when is it), you get too engross in your revision and assignments that you actually forget to sleep. Therefore, you need you alarm clock to tell you when to sleep so that you wouldn’t “float” to lectures with blood-shot eyes, feeling like a zombie.

8.) Public Holidays and weekends, to you, is utmost important. It is not just another day. It is the day where we can catch up with our sleep and complete our unfinished tasks (though it is impossible to complete it in a day but at least, we are assured that there would not be any exercises and etc to add on to our accumulated pile of work).9.) Semester break=heaven.

10.) You appreciate boredom/having nothing to do. The phrase, “I’m going to die of boredom” is rarely heard. More often than not, you will hear this phrase, “Those who want to commit suicide should join us…our workload is enough to kill us. It would be a miracle if I’m still alive by the end of this sem”

11.) Your textbooks and notes are more than your references or “bible”. They are your hand rest (while your hand is your pillow), weights for you to build your muscles, and your oxygen in class and while you are doing your revision (you can’t survive without it).

12.) You love your textbooks so much that you know how they smell like. You can recognize your textbook by just smelling it. You are so proud of it that you are no longer ashamed of drooling on your textbook anymore. By the end of the semester, your textbook smells just like its owner.

There you have it, people... A uni student's life: Love it or hate it- we still have to hang on for the sake of qualifications..... So to all my friends, may we will all fight for what we are fighting for. All the best and God bless.....
