but i'm already thinking bout post-undergraduate life.
i'm lying when i said i can't wait to graduate and face the real world. i was just being ignorant and lazy, so that was just my excuse of not wanting to study and do my homework.
so, how's life when i graduate, i wonder?
1. WORK. where will i work? will i be as ambitious as i am now? becoming my own boss?
2. achievements. in school, it's all about getting good grades, join clubs and activities, and getting good grades. the real world is larger than that! c'mon world, what will be my benchmark of accomplishments?
3. age crisis. my parents aren't getting any younger. me either. my siblings will start their family eventually, so do i if i met 'the one'. people come and go, if u know what i mean. when i am young, i kept pushing it back by saying "i'll worry about it later", but now guess what? later is 6 months away.
4. exams, real world version. yeah, it's awesome that i don;t have to take any exam anymore. but in a way life itself is a major examination, no? just that the passing/failing mark is more than getting 50% correct all the time.
5. responsibilities. i guess once i start earning my own income will dictate the end of the days where i could lend out my hand and ask for money from my parents. it is the beginning of the otherwise. and did i mention the expectation from all the people around me? "ang moh graduate, sure very keat one..."
whoa. with two more weeks till this semester officially ends, i am having mixed feelings.
