First day of my last term at Waterloo. O how the time flies. It feels like yesterday when I first entered Waterloo. Coming back and meeting with friends brings back university memories. O the joy of late nights of studying and gaming. The numerous buffets, and the roadtrips back home. The exam periods, the chattering at the library, getting kicked outed of buildings. O the joy. the joy. I dare not to say that I didn’t have any fun here. After coming back to the campus, I seen how much it has changed. New buildings, new paths and new people. How young the first year look. Makes me look old. And I don’t even look that old at all.
Sitting in lecture feels weird, if you haven’t done it in 8 months. At least this time I have 4 courses and 1 online course. The courses I took this year should be easy but time consuming. I will be taking an econ course, a photoshop course, film course and 2 cs courses. It should be lots of fun. I am both excited and scared that it is my final term here. I don’t know what to expect after school. I have done nothing but study in my life. (Except for co-op). But that doesn’t really count. In my entire life, we all have been going to school full time. Just sitting back and relax and listen in class. Listen enough to pass exams. But all that is going to change in the next couple of months. I have to start looking for full time job. And start working the next 25 years. Giving something back tho the society. I wonder What I will do. I don’t want to work at the same job for a long period of time because I would get bored of it real easily.
Where will life bring me to? Stay in Toronto? Or go down to the states? All these questions would be answered within these 4 months. How important these 4 months will be. There are way to many uncertainties in life, so many that we can’t keep track of them all. So why bother? We should all just sit back and relax, and enjoy life as much as possible. That is what I plan to do. Enjoy my last 4 months as an University student. Join as many clubs as possible (said that since first year), and meet as many different people as possible. Hear other people’s experience and their stories. That way I can learn from their mistakes. sigh…. so much to do so little time. Sometime I wish I can go back in time and go back to elementary school. Start school life all over again. I would do much different the second time. How I won’t take school for granted. Cherish the non-stressful life and the freedom of going out to play during recess and after school. How we thought life was tough but in reality we had no clue what our parents had it tougher. With more years of education and experience we are slowly growing up to the real world. Education is preparing us for the real world. For the real society that we have to shape and mold for the next generation. I guess it is time for me to end my education career and start my work career. To start a new chapter in my life and start contributing to society. Time to give back to the world and to make a difference one small action at a time.
