Hey guys, I've been talking to some friends lately..and it's got me thinking...what is it exactly are we going to Uni to achieve??
of course, for us youngin's, it's for the sole purpose of a few good years to kick back and relax before entering the workforce.
But that's just it!! What is it that we're going to end up doing?? the city job?? 9-5?? Some even asking for longer hours for less pay...take it or leave it. I don't want that man...but since I'm going to Uni to study economics...many people already assume that that's all I'm going to dedicate my life to.
It's harsh man.
Human life has no perks till you make one. It's hand-made not found.
hmm but since I have sort of strict traditional parents, they think, like most, a good education is the only foundation to making money or to achieve anything worthwhile in life..... Not really actually. Once you've been through the educational system..you KNOW its not true! You have to learn and put up with all this extra crap that you don't need. In general, parents expect top/good grades in school..otherwise they make it sound as if you've already failed in life.
but MATE. If most of you reading this are around my age..give and take a few good years...you've only lived 1/5 of your life...if even that!!
you ain't seen NOTHING yet.
You go to school to see how good you are at learning out of a book...but mate..life's not from a book. School is just cherning out people to work for the workforce...to follow rules...to make a great employEE!!. But bloody hell I want to be the employER. But that's gonna take some time. It's gonna take effort.
So how do I do this?? thats the question.
but I'll get there...soon enough.
mann..that was a harsh more serious note than usual..but I've been thinking that for a while...first cropped up bout 2 years ago when my parents reviewed what were the possibilities of life with me before I chose my AS subjects.
and yess...as many of you know..I regret taking Biology. I really should have stuck down hard and gone for Art..though I've been told I'm lucky I didn't..but I still regret it. For most of it..I want to get something out of what I do...but I've just wasted an entire 2 years studying for Biology..and it's a proper waste. thats 7 periods a week that I've wasted.
This summer??
definitely try to look into understanding html so I can make this blog look more personal. I've got some designs in my head..but I'm finding it hard to put it down on paper...so I need to improve that too.
Then Anatomy drawing.. =S...YES . that ISS why I perv over nice bodied men..I want to get their anatomy right.
then I need to improve my techniques as a digital artist..
mann..just too much to do...SO much I want to do.
so little time.
but before I can even start dreaming of these times..exams come first.
back to revision.
signing off then babes.
much lav

Heart and Soul in that post... Nothing in life is a waste man.. We do what we do for a reason, you not choosing Art, there will be a reason..
ReplyDeleteIn conjunction with my post... Employee's play it safe, follow the leader... Employer's are the millionaires, the leaders.
But I would like to add YOU Control your life.. Not your parents, or anyone else. I would like to think there is a higher up or greater power controlling it, like we are living a script, But life's not scripted it's been written by yourself. Do what you enjoy, and What uni achieve's is a couple of A or 1's in font size 12, times new roman.
Anything else I have to say will be added in my own blog hahaha ^^
Well, the first year of uni is to mostly have a good time and get drunk :D It's not just about getting a qualification out of it, of course, getting a degree is going to be the standard soon, so getting a job without one will be hard. The subject you take really doesn't matter, unless it is specialised ie. medicine etc. I think the decisions that you make shape who you are, so try not to have any regrets. At the time of those choices, you chose one thing for a reason, and if you are regretting that decision in hindsight, then at least you have learnt something new about yourself, and picked up some worthwhile experiences along the way.
ReplyDeleteWhat you seem to be describing are stereotypical chinese parents :P They'll come to understand soon that it's not just about grades. It's how they've been brought up so it's hard for them to change their mindset, yknow? Everything that happens right now seems like the biggest decision ever, but yes, you have hardly lived your life yet so there will be many more hurdles to jump over :)
Also, I hated how art is taught at school. So what if you don't have an Art A Level? What would be so good about having one? Art is mostly not about being taught it, but rather just having the creativity and ideas and motivation to create something. You don't need a qualification to prove you can do that!
Make this summer worthwhile! My summer between 6th form and uni was probably the best so far. So trying to top that this year as I won't have one next year cos of placement >.<
Mm, exams. x
