Musings of a Day Lush

Summer days are ending.

13 August 2007 by Mushroom Queen

Sometimes I do like talking about my real life on here. Just not too much (since I don’t think anyone really cares…XD) lately since I’ve been on summer holiday. Well, soon I’m going to be entering my *gasp* third year of uni. I’m halfway through. I guess I can say that the biggest letdown of entering university is wanting to do what makes you happy, but realising that you can’t make any sort of sustainable life from it. It’s a disappointment that a lot of people feel, but there are a few people who are passionate about a job that will inevitably make them successful. I guess what I mean when I say this is that I’ve always wanted an art/design career. I know that I’m not the best artist, the most creative, or the most disciplined but it’s always something that I find enjoyable. In college (”high school” if you will), I told myself that if I chose to do art as a career..well..I’d end up burning out later on in life and I’d no longer be passionate about it.

There is a lot of great things that I learned from being in university for two years though. I learned to not be a smart ass and that I don’t know everything..in fact, I learned that I know very little compared to the people I’ve met. I also learned that nothing is more satisfying than attending class when you actually want to be there.

Uni is one of the best and worst experiences ever. You get to learn all sorts of things that you’d never learn anywhere else, but you make the first major decision about your future. It’s a bit bittersweet.

Anyway, our most wubbed moderator, Creepy, wrote a blog entry (in his brand new blog) that I felt everyone should read fully. Please take a look at it.

    I guess my learning experience in…university (I have to find a site with some Americans on it)…was way different. I got to college and found out I work too hard and procrastinate too much. I found out intelligence is pointless with out work. You can theorize all day but until you do an experiment it is still just speculation. I found out that you are measured in terms of what you achieve not how great you think you are. I found out communication is literally the most important thing in the world. With out it you know nothing and no one knows anything about you. I found out life is hard and painful but if you get through it all, the satisfaction of achieving something is the most valuable thing in the world. Also, good professor are hard to come by if you have one you should give them the accolades they deserve.

    Finally, I found out engineers are indeed the most intelligent people in the world. If you don’t believe me just start looking through your house and tell me what wasn’t designed somehow by an engineer or doesn’t have an engineers stamp on it. Engineers are awesome and we all know it…

    :gloats:

    (and yet college drives us to the edge of insanity. All hail vectors!)
