I'm Mediocre After All...

"A lot of students come to me and tell me: What happened to me? I used to be the star student of my school, now I'm just mediocre, what happened to me?"

"You have to stop competing with each other. Your life is not just about grades; university is a place where you're supposed to build yourself up."

"Everyday you wake up, and from your room (where ever it is: in college, or in SS 17 or somewhere else), you come to school, then go to the library, then go back to your room. Everyday it's the same, everything becomes so routine - you're living a black life."

"From now to the end of March (exam usually starts in April), you have 9 months. Averagely you have about 45 days to master each subject (we have 6)."

Tell me, how does one discard competitiveness? It's not something that you can switch on and off.
It's tiring, I'm tired. Whoever said university was enjoyable clearly didn't take this course.

Btw, I didn't say any of the above, it's just taken from random conversations/lectures.

Random post

I'm lying on my bed now, blogging while Switchfoot is playing over and over again...
In about 24 more hours, I wouldn't be here, not for another 5 months...
I still have a thousand million things to pack, but I really don't know where to start...
And why did no one tell me that a fringe was so hard to maintain? Now I'll have to take a dumb bimbo comb (and probably scissors) around....

Btw, do check out my playlist if you have time, I'm so thrilled that I've finally figured out how to post it on my page (yeah, you more IT-able(d) people go ahead and laugh out loud), but I did it alone, without asking help from someone, so I'm pretty pleased with myself....:p
Anyway, the songs are all by Switchfoot, Jon Foreman really writes good songs.. one of them, I think the second track "This is Home" is used in the Narnia movie, and my favourite is no.?? ( I don't know, forgotten), "You", it's got touching lyrics...XD
