Student life is stressful. STRESSFUL. Regardless of what others say about students being lazy, spending too much, partying too much when it comes to demands and deadlines everybody breaks because it's not just a period of your life that may almost never really depend on your actual career, however much you may be lead to believe that the subject you choose to study is ACTUALLY where you're heading in the next five years or so.
Believe me, as a student myself, I've already changed my course three times and this much overdue last year is finally here, with much deliberation and procrastination, I actually made it! =D
Yeah... don't get me started on tuition fees and the amount of debt I have at this current moment. Guess I fit the stereotype eh?
I hate how the system works. At 14 I was pressured into making decisions about my future when I myself didn't have a clue as to what field I wanted to enter in later life. Realistically, how is a 14 year old meant to decide what they want to do? I read yesterday in Stylist Magazine that the greatest fashion designers ended up in fashion as a second choice career. Who would believe Vivienne Westwood was a primary school teacher? The pressure on students to make decisions young hasn't helped me in my academic path and I think it's safe to say there are probably hundreds and thousands who feel exactly the same. I've realised that over the past few years I've learned, developed and attained skills in various fields that a few years back I would never DREAM of entering and it's such a shame that those life changing decisions had to be made at the wrong time. Now it's all about money right up until the end, if I want to pursue a career I have a passion in, I need the £££!
I guess we'll see where my path leads me.
