[” I use to love School up until end of 2006. I’m starting to burn out. So much school work, I don’t have the time for anything anymore i.e soccer, gym, tennis, swimming, and job. I only play tennis once a week now. And all my uni friends make uni seem so good. They say its a lot more flexible and less stressful (lies?)
Its not like that at all!! “]
It depends. School was much better for me since most people at school were nice and friendly. School work was simple and easy - there wasn’t much to do. I did 5 subjects n year 12 and there were about 6 major assignment for each subject, so it didn’t bother me. On top of that, I had to attend compulsory badminton training sessions twice a week and sporting competitions on Saturdays. So school was fun.
On the other hand, uni was more isolated and there isn’t much interaction between people. It was harder to make friends at uni - either I was too shy, I had nothing in common with the people at uni or people didn’t like me. I did four subjects per semester - there were lots and lots of reading to do in preperation for tutes and pracs, three to four assignments per subject each semester and exams. 20 hours of uni each week, but it was very stressful!. Final year was even more stressful. I ended up spending my whole uni life studying. And i regretted it. Maybe I have become less social over the years. To make the best of your uni life: You do not have to attend every single lecture and join clubs, do exercise and try to achieve a study/play balance. I ended up doing to much study and no time to play.
Anyways, I should stop here. This is supposed to be a “positive” thread after all…
