WHEN I was still in high school I thought university would be as easy and simple as drinking water. I thought it was an environment of well-educated and a breeding zone for guaranteed graduates where failure is barely known.
But upon being a varsity student I noticed it wasn’t easy to make it through university without getting a puncture along the way. That is when I noticed all the ideas we had in high school of passing university right away like a “touch and go game” was just simply a myth.
True, university is a breeding ground for education and guarantees graduates but it doesn’t seem to work for all people. Only the committed ones sail through the rigorous and bumpy ride to graduation.
After passing high school you come to university in large numbers but out of those only a few will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It normally starts easy, in your first year you are always in a huge group during free time but as you proceed to the next level the number decreases, either because each one is concentrating on reaching the finishing line, or because some have fallen by the wayside.
There’s a thin line between academic failure and success. The ball in your court to decide in which direction you kick it. Some people out there still believe in the myth and will never understand university life.
University still comprises of the confused and the clueless, those that don’t know what they really want in life and the purpose of being at university and the confused who lack career guidance. Some have been there for three or more years and have changed courses in each of the years they’ve been there.
While some are striving and sweating for success, others are sweating for interim pleasures – pleasures that undermine their progress. As a matter of fact unlimited entertainment, the joy of being independent and mostly money tends to drive some into misery and suffering at the end of the day.
