When I was young, I have never ever thought that entering college would be such a hassle. All I ever thought was that I would be able to meet a bunch of new people and live my life for the rest of the years in university. This is especially so when your friends told you how amazing college life is and whatsoever shit. Well, I guess people have sugarcoated the whole college life experience and kept shits laid down under the carpet, especially tv commercials.
Now when I have finally graduated from high school, I have come to realise that growing up is nothing less than terrifying to me. I woke up to the wave of responsibility descending on me. First there were money issues. I am a fully-responsible adult who should take care of his family and himself, in which it had me zero into the matter of my daily expenses in correspondence to that of my hard-earned wages. It is absolutely impossible for me to ask my parents to money every time just because I have overspent my money, I am indeed trying my best to kick off this bad habit out of my life before it gets worse.
Then, I had to make the biggest decision in my life, I had to decide what should I pursue in college. I remembered vividly that I wanted to do engineering, electronic and electrical engineering to be exact. However, the dream of pursuing in the field of sciences has eventually faded before it even gets to incubate. This is because I have no talent or interests in the science subjects after all. So, I have resorted to American Degree Transfer Program. When I have finally made my decisions clear, my parents somehow heard from god knows who said that studying ADP is a risky option. In the end, taking foundation course was the only choice for me. Despite having to go through a tough time, I still got to enter my dream university which was really amazing.
To the youngsters out there reading my blog, my advice to you is do not go to education fairs for too many times as it would only bring you problems but nothing else. Period. Besides, money is really everything in this cruel world, as the saying goes, money makes the mare goes, work really hard in order to receive scholarships because tertiary education ain't cheap. If your parents are filthy rich, you can just skip that part.
