College Life 1.0

I still remember weeks before SPM, me and my friends would skip school everyday and happily went to the State Library with the heart to study. Well, student are teenagers too, right? So we ended up mingling more than studying. It's ironic yet fun. Weeks later and there goes SPM or what we call, ''Stress Pasti Manyak!''. It was the same routine everyday for the next several weeks and the nightmare ended, so did our fun. Some of my friends went for work including me, some were busy preparing for their colleges and some had their own plans. A month later, we got back together and spend our time slacking and hanging around.

And the next thing we know, we have to take our SPM results. Was walking proudly into my school's hall, expecting to get some jaw-dropping, mind-blowing, feet-sweeping results but Fear started popping out in my mind. People that i expect to get good results started showing their ''What is this?!'' face while taking a closer look at their SPM slip. Owing to that, I just felt worse when it's time for me to get mine. Finally, i took my SPM slip and yes, i was disappointed but the fact that i can't change the past made me focus more on my future.

And so, i reduced my time to play and started surveying for good colleges. Of all the colleges i have searched, Taylor's University caught most of my attention. My family were supportive enough to allow me to venture into a city that is a stranger to me, despite the dear expenses. In order to not put their effort in vain, I rushed for the March intake in one day and enrolled.

The next day, I went for the Orientation and the first impression Taylor gives me is that it is huge and nothing i have ever seen before. It was awkward for me though, as I'm new to everything there and there was nobody that i know in Taylor. I was tired and sleepy as i can't sleep the night before because i was too excited about my first day in College.The day ended with me being unable to make any new friends at all.

Same thing goes for my second day of the Orientation. Everything looks gloomy and dark to me already and i started to have a real bad feeling about my college life. A problem came up with the registration and I went for the Orientation which i was told later on that i am not suppose to go for. Besides that, my daily expenses here  exceeds my budget and I have to starve to survive. I rented a very expensive small room and i have to bear with it for the next six months. I was so disappointed to find out that Taylor's gym is not complete yet. More unpleasant things are piling up as time goes by. My college life, at that point, was not what i have imagined it to be and it would never be anytime soon.

All I'm trying to pinpoint is that my college life is not as good as everyone thought it would be. I guess i have no choice but to bear with it for another two and a half years in my Diploma in Mass Communication course.
