These Are The Best Days.
School days are the best days of our lives.
Really.
I mean. Think about it.
Never again in life will you have so many people of the same age, interests and common goals beside you for nearly the whole day. Invaluable friends with whom you can laugh, chat, joke, share secrets with, play sports, and more..
Never again would you feel so carefree, when the world is so big and fun, and without rules.
They say, and I agree, that tertiary education (poly, uni) are the best times of one's life. Why? Because the stringency of secondary school is over. No more uniforms, strict teachers and rules. One is free to do practically as he pleases. No more worrying about what to say to the teacher after skipping yeaterday's lecture to hang out with friends. Adulthood dawns, as our parents slowly let us go, giving us more and mroe control and decisions over our lives. Yet, we are not burdened with the responsibilities of adulthood. No bills to pay, no family to feed, no boss to please. The years of 18-25 are really the prime of one's life, a period of self searching, explosive energy, and a maturing mind.
Because the working world's different. Everyone has a seperate ambition, age, and backgrounds. You can't just share your opinions and secrets with aNyone. Who know's what they'll do with it?
I know of few or no adults who claim that working life is more fun than school life. All say that they miss school days, and wish they could relive it again. School is very structured and fast moving. No two years are similar to each other (unless u retain la, of cos). There's always that sense of adventure into the unknown, an eagerness to tackle what lies ahead. Yet, in the working world, it all seems like an endless rat race, year in year out. Before you know, ten years would fly by and you'd be an old man/woman, attending the occasional class reunion, where everyone starts comparing grades of their kids, and tell each other about how great their latest business venture is faring, and discuss investment strategies/insurance policies/market updates that ten years ago sounded incredibly mind-numbingly boring.
The spirit of school is lost forever.
So treasure them.
Every single precious moment, the laughter, the tears, the studies, the exams, even the fights, arguments and cold wars.
These are the memories that'll stay with you for life, locked in that special little corner of your heart.
So treasure them. Treasure them all.
Cause it'll soon be over.
i miss school =(
