College Life

by Sheeny Jandayan, a BSIT Student

                        College life is never easy. There are quizzes, home-works, projects, seat-works, exams and of course the enemy of the students, study. Students never like to study. They hate it. They prefer going to malls or doing stuffs they like rather than studying. For them, studying is boring and tiring. It is just a waste of their precious time. When the giving of grades comes, they beg and cry in front of their instructors not even thinking that it was their fault in the first place. Later on they realize the importance of hard work and time. I must say that there are advantages and disadvantages upon entering the college life.

                        The first advantage is freedom. Students have freedom. The freedom to do the things they want. They can decide on their own. They can live by themselves and to learn how to live their lives in times of crisis. On the other hand, they get to be trained for the near future in which they already have their own families.

                        The second advantage is independence. Students in every university or school should be independent. They should not depend on somebody’s help especially on seat-works, projects and other school matters. It will never help them to learn on their own. On living matters, most of the students stay in boarding houses and are given by their parents enough money for them to budget for a whole month or two. They are far away from home so they should not depend on their family’s hands. They have to stand on their own for the good.

                        The third and last advantage is learning new things and stuffs. By being independent and being free they tend to learn new things that they have not known for the years of their living. They learn more about communications, relationships, friends and studies. For them, it smells really good and they will not let it go that easy.
