JC Life – A Survival

What exactly is JC life about? Is it about the wild parties, the coming of age, the senseless amount of homeworks or about the common Us (Ungraded). What exactly do people strive to achieve? Recognition? Entertainment? Results? Or just one hell of a good time? We have 7 days a week. With school ending at around 4.30pm, and various other activities following up till up till 7pm, how exactly are we supposed to find time for ourselves? Weekdays are spent coming home late, studying and finally sleeping as early as possible to prevent ourselves from dozing off on those comfortable chairs in a freezing lecture theatre. It becomes a routine. A boring, mindless, routine which reminds me very much of Zombies. Weekends are spent waking up late, resting a tiny bit and catching up on work while at the same time, preparing for tests that we are doomed to fail regardless of how much we study. So what exactly do we aim to achieve in JC? Is it too fast paced? Yes, totally. Should it be slowed down? Probably. Will it be slowed down? No. Maybe living in such such a stressful system will prepare us for the hectic university life. But maybe, just maybe, our education system is flawed. In JC, in University, it is impossible to have a well balanced life. If we do so, we end up as a ‘Jack of all trades, Master of none.”. So maybe our education system should be revised. Maybe its time for us to start searching for our reason for being in a JC. Till then, let us just aim to survive this sick, twisted game.
