I made an easy peasy acronym dedicated to University, my bff in under 1 minute 'cause I love you so much.

So we were all deceived into thinking that uni was the holliest place on Earth, the planets & the galaxies beyond. So, we were tricked into the asshole insitute, worked our buttocks off for a good 6 years of our existence, died during HSC - died a few more times & then recarnated to do the final exam before we woopee & woopaed! But really...did we get value out of the effort? I think not. Well not in the short term. And when I speak of short term...I mean like this instance, the present. Long-term wise, why I suppose? But that's beyond my point. I think I learnt a very valuable lesson. Actually I learnt TWO. Wow. 2 for the price of 1. How bloody asian.

1/ You can never really understand an experience unless you experience it yourself.

2/ You learn from your experiences.

3/ Have no positive nor high expectations whatsoever when it comes down to something like education beyond highschool.

I realised that I have 3 now. Truly a bargain.What it all comes down to...is DON'T me misleaded by the positive angelic words that people have told you, what you have heard/overheard/eavesdropped/(more importantly)assumed. Uni is not made of ponies, rainbows, sunshine & daffodils. Sorry to disappoint you but it's everything you didn't think of. It's really about ogres, hail stones, torrential rain & Venus Flytraps. It CAN be enjoyable but really...how can you say it's the thing you look forward to every morning in the biting cold as your nose falls off & your eyeballs jump out of their sockets from sleep deprivation? It's because...not everyone is a complete nerd like YOU ARE - G E E K. Yeh, G E E K is a word. SAY WHAT? Even geeks don't particularly enjoy uni. Don't lie. You know you don't. When you say you do, your body is really screaming for release.

Of course I know. I'm a 1st year student. I KNOW. And everyone else knows. And now I also understand the experience of going to uni 'cause I'm experiencing it right in the NOW - & for the following yearS. How fun :D To put it bluntly - there is nothing to look forward to except for the sweet caress of Freedom after I've received the piece of paper that prints in a very fugly font (DIPLOMA OF BUSINESS + MASTERS OF SOMETHING - I'm still not sure you see). Then it'll be woopee woopa. Dejavu much? This time it's a little different. I'll be wopee & woopaing with a happiness that surpasses that of highschool. I cried when highschool ended. Cried with real tears not with fake emotions made available by eye-droplets. You could say I was crying with raw passion ;o; I for one know that I'll be crying out of pure joy & glee when Uni finally comes to a permanent halt. Not because I don't have friends...or I'm a lonely psychopath or anything...*sooks* lol no really.

The people there are super awesome & although I'm mostly surrounded, harassed & bullied by boys...it's mostly for shit & giggles :) I'm not masochistic. But I'm not so sure the positives outweigh the negatives. The lectures...tbh are just boring. I thought Business Studies in highschool had some highlights throughout the course but when it comes to Uni...there's not a few let alone 'some' that can stop you from having a shut-eye. That's actually a euphemism to the majority. It's like you're being sung a soft lullaby. It's against nature to not feel comfortable & just fall into a doze. Are you human or what? Yes & if you are human then you would know that humans are lazy, self-centred, ignorant, hungry animals. No? Yeh, thought you were ignorant. Sucker.

This morning...was petrifying. I was SO tired, so sleepy, SO bored out of my mind that yes at many times I was VERY out of my mind. I fidgeted, tossed & to the extent where I could be described as writhing in my chair. When you become so traumatisingly helpless...you turn to sleep - the cousin of death. And sometimes you wonder why you feel so tired that you feel like you're dying? Maybe you are - in an illiteral sense. My head lulled backwards & forwards & afraid of being ratted out by any of my fellow members (actually I just didn't want to be awaken once I died in my seat), I casually placed my small palms infront of my huge face & tried to disguise my sleep as a headache. Not to mention, I had no excuises to behave that way when I chose to sit in the SECOND row of the lecture room. How bright of me.
It's costing my LIFE.
FREAKING HELL.I WANNA SLEEP.
JUST LET ME SLEEP.
Why didn't I just walk out of the lecture room & go home then? 'Cause I thought maybe a miracle would allow me to recover...& I did thank goodness. It was the break that saved me. I could tell everyone was snapping out of their dreams/nightmares as soon as they heard "a short break" stream out of the lecturer's thin lips. But I thought wrong. Once he got back, I was knocked out of conciousness - again for...god knows how many times 'cause there was so many to the extent I can't recall any reasonable figure. It's unfortunate to say...that Uni was not as anyone assumed, obviously not as I assumed. Let me leave you with this; The tri-factors to endure Uni to the end with an average rate of survival:

1/ Have sufficient sleep. I can not stress again how boring the lecturers are already alone. Without sleep, guess what? Sleeping at Uni would only be second nature.

2/ Study. No, I don't mean studying infront of your notebook whilst Facebook is on full blast whilst you're also 'multi-tasking' & tapping away at your MSN screen. NO. SIT & STARE AT THAT STUPID SHIT TEXTBOOK.

3/ Make friends. Don't be a wuss. Talk to someone. Anyone at any given time at Uni when you're not snoring in the lectures. Trust me, it's so boring to such an epic degree when there's not anyone around. Train rides alone explain for itself. If you're scared. Don't be. There's someone out there who is as scared & would be as pleased & delighted to speak to another lonely kient like you.

(This is NOT something you should depend on. Refer to it as a guide. Use your brain. This is from MY personal point of view. Uni relies on deeper foundations & is so much more complex than these 3 points
sadly.)

If any lecturer comes across this blog...& coincidentally this entry...I apologise for hurting your feelings - IF YOU HAVE ANY THAT IS. WHY WOULD YOU PRESENT SUCH DISTASTEFUL LECTURES IF YOU WANT US TO PAY ATTENTION. ATLEAST TRY. FOR GOD'S SAKE. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT & STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE STRANGE "HUM & BUZZ" COMING FROM THE AUDIENCE. YES IT IS THE SOUND OF US MAMMALS HIBERNATING & YES IT IS UNPLEASANT. But what's more, the lecturers are the source of this disgraceful behaviour. I admit, it is not entirely attractive but I'm exhausted. It's only been 1/2 a semester & sometimes....I feel very out of it. The message hasn't sunk in yet. It feels like I've just finished highschool yesterday.
