Yesterday Jessica tweeted that many uni students are loco...
It's so true. Either they are insane in the way they behave (some guys ran naked in uni) or they are crazily smart.And partly because uni is so big, there are all sorts of individuals you will meet.
The number one thing I have to deal with is... my results.
You know how everyone steps into uni on the very first day feeling all pumped up for more and more H1s? I had a goal of not doing last minute work, read all my readings each week (very unrealistic, but well...), and hopefully get H2B at the very least. H1 is out of the question, but there's no harm dreaming right?
I think I'm generally quite an optimistic person. Huimin always said I never looked like I'm worried or stressed over uni because I always have time to go out and get involved in all sorts of nonsense in uni. To be honest, I'm worried for my essays and stressed over my limited knowledge on psychology.
Even though my results are average for media subjects and pretty bad for psyc (borderline pass), I tried my best to let it go and not let it bother me. But at the end of the day, of course I would go home and wonder how did I get a PASS when I spent so much effort on it... I got sad for a while and accepted the fact anyway. I mean, what can I do to change the results? It didn't really bother me and I would be happy to share if anyone were to ask.
Recently, my friend who just came here for her first semester was really affected by her results. It's really tough to be here alone facing all these without any reassurance voicing "It's okay, as long as you tried your best..." Every single time when I did badly academically/esp. piano and music, as long as my father (ze investor) reassured me, I would feel much lighter and definitely much better about myself.
It's really nothing beneficial to be bothered by such small little things. Yea, maybe future employers will ask and judge my results, but I think I would rather that than being obsessive over the grades.
One fellow Singaporean took a semester break and went back to Singapore because he couldn't take all that stress here. I heard his results were pretty decent. It seemed like everyone will only be happy with H1. And the best part...? He owes my $11.70.
Some of my friends here took Choir as a breadth subject. I will never pay 2.9k just to sing 2 hours every week.
Let me just end off abruptly here because I've a lecture in 2 mins time.

Does aussie have different classes for their graduates? Like second upper class, upper class, honours etc? If don't have, then no need to be too bothered really. With a degree and some working experience, you can continue with masters or get a decent job one lah. I think uni is the last chance to slack, to do things you've never done before. Honestly, I'm quite jealous of your colourful and fun-packed campus life! Every other week you have smth new to do, really quite cool. Enjoy the remaining years!
Yes leh. Our grading system is by First Class honours, Second upper class, second lower class, third class... But RMIT is by High D, Distinction, etc.. so it depends on which uni... Not really something new, I've been doing the same things... Karate, netball and choir! :) but now no more choir.
