Life As A Uni Student
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005You noe, before I enter U, I always tot that uni life is v carefree and like those uni phamplets we receive on our high school graduation day, you get to sit under trees to study and wear watever you deem is fashionable at that time…But it seems that I was in for a shock when I entered U. Life here is not as carefree as I tot it would be. Yes, we no longer have to pack out brains wif so many subjects in 1 day like we use to when we were still in high school, we are free to do ALMOST watever we wan, and we do fool around……..but I would not use the word carefree to describe our lives here. In my uni,the guys are ‘obliged’ to wear collared shirts when attending lectures and no jeans is allowed. The gals on the other hand, are free to wear any type of clothing they like as long as it adheres to the ’sifat kesopanan’ here. Lectures are quite long, and trust me, it is easy to fall asleep during 1 (lol, i am happy to say that I manage to stay awake durign all lectures) as the lectures jus aint communicatiing correctly with us (>_@) definately not in the same bandwidth (>_<) For freshies, I believe our greatest challenge is to figure out where to start studying as there is no fixed textbooks and you most probably have to find all the notes yourself after lectures.Lucky for us there is such things called the buddy-system and the lecture notes (complimentary of the lectures). Honestly speaking, you really need lots of discipline to study here as you tend to slack and not study as you will get ‘lost’ after a few lectures. It will be a good idea to find a groups of hardworking frens and another group of frens to hang out when you wish to relax and alternate between both …….hahaha but then again,if you noe what u wan, there is no such needs to find 2 groups as 1 would most probably serve your purpose ;p
