i always thought that people were dying to get a university education... they would do anything just to be able to secure a spot in the university of their choice... people used to work very hard as they climb up the education level so that they can get into university and get a piece of paper called degree certificate... it meant to facilitate their entry into the working world while promising good career prospects and good salary... but i suppose now its not as difficult to get into a university when compared to the past... with more and more private universities been established and private institutions opening all around the while, almost everyone is able to get a university education... in this current society, its very difficult to survive in the working while if u do not have that piece of paper... so everyone is still working towards getting that certificate but not as strongly as before...
after going through almost 15years of education, i finally arrived at the door of my university education even though i have already started for almost 1 month... even though its not exactly my first choice of place to study, nevertheless im still glad i managed to get into one... almost all of my frenz are either full-time or part-time students... some of them have already gotten their degree while some are in the midst of it... some are done/doing in Singapore while some are overseas such as in Australia etc...
i thought that to get through every uni education, alot of effort, money have to be put in... money in the sense of school fees... and i thought that to be able to get accepted into the uni would be a justification of the hard work they have put in just to get where they are, but why do i still see more and more people asking themselves if they regret doing so... im hoping that they feel this way because they have not fully adjusted to the new lifestyle... but whatever their decision may be, im sure they would have thought it through carefully and have already consulted their family members and friends... =) i trust that they know what they are doing...
after almost a month in SIM, i realised that uni life is pretty different from poly life, especially in a private uni such as SIM, where the lectures and tutorials are carried out in the same space of time not like the public uni's where they are done separately.. the chances of mixing around, making new friends is so much lower and harder... i also realised that the competition is so much higher... during my time in poly, i mostly hear that the girls would be the ones who mug everyday... guys mugging that earnestly is almost unheard of except for a few guys that i know... but from my time in SIM, i realised that the guys are actually even more hardworking... now that's something...
anyway... i aim to do well at my last hurdle, considering this would prolly be my last chance to show what im capable of...
