To my fellow college 'drop-per', 'fail-er', irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic friends

I graduated from high school last 2003. After that, I've decided to take up BS Nursing which is a four-year course. I graduated from college last 2009. Mathematically, I took up Nursing for 6 years. I was stupid, selfish and irresponsible. To make the long introduction short, I (a word that rhymes with suck but in past tense and starts with the letter F) up.

It's just great that I have the most patient and wonderful parents but still, it's probably the greatest regret that I had. I was selfish. I kept thinking that this isn't what I wanted. I wanted something else. I made that my reason to drop subjects, fail classes, be downright stupid. I transferred to another university just so I can start out fresh and yes, it has helped me a little to make it through but sometimes, you couldn't help but feel a little left out especially when you realize that everyone is younger than you.

So I make this blog to my fellow college 'drop-per', 'fail-er', irresponsible, selfish, narcissistic friends who are stuck in college not because of financial problems but by the choices they make themselves FOR themselves. It is fun to have all the free time in the world, but when you get to a point and you're suddenly faced with the fact that you're the oldest in your class and that if given a chance, you'd be ahead of them, trust me, it's just plain embarrassing. Do yourself a huge favor. Grab a full body size mirror (if unavailable, a good 'ol pocket mirror will do) and have a good, long talk to yourself. Chant this slowly, "It's fun but I'm stupid for thinking that this will last forever." I know, I've been in that position. I just had a bit of luck that my parents are great and that I met someone who really inspired me but if I think of all the wasted money which could have been used for something useful (like an IPad - wishful thinking), I just feel really awful. You can save yourself from this feeling. It might sound hypocritical but studying really rocks! Start saving yourself from regret and start thinking right. You're happy right now but I guarantee you, it's temporary.

Asta La Vista, baby!

  1. on the bright side, you did learn your lesson albeit at the expense of wasted time and your parents' heartaches. besides if you come to think of it two years is nothing compared to others who have gone their whole lives without learning life's lessons. so take heart :)
    and i commend you for finishing your studies in spite of, and for urging your "fellow slackers" to clean up their lives. i also congratulate your parents for raising a good daughter.
