Here`s the problem . I`m a 20 year old loafer. I`ve been
slacking and partying all my freaking life . Then recently i saw
this old friend of mine who i haven`t seen since secondary school
days . Which is about 4 years ago.
She used to be a ta jie ta in my school , always smoking in the
toilet and bossing people around . At that time she seemed like the
typical ah lian whose life will go no where but down hill. But a
few days back when i saw her she was so mature and kind of gave a
lecture in life .
She told me she went to poly cause she retook her o lvls. And i
told her that i was still in poly and slacking as usual . Then she
asked me if i was still hanging out with this group of slackers
which i call friends. Then of course i said no as not to lose face.
But then in actual fact i`m still hanging around with my so called
friends. Then she said all this stuff about how great her life is
now with a part-time job at this big company which she worked for
in attachment ( she also got AD for attachment ). And she also told
me she did some self studying in her free time . Like studying how
to use ADOBI and such computer stuff. I have never in my life study
something which will not be tested in my exam . SAD.
Guess how much was her freaking gpa 3.9. WTF 3.9 is confrim
impossible for me to reach . my GPA is only like 1.5 . SAD i know .
All i get for my exams are just pass and i have to retake half a
year in poly.
So it suddenly came to me that i should change my life and stop
slacking partyin going out when i`m bored . I should really sit
down and study . And should be like her who was a past ah lian (
now a super mature and smart girl ) .
But the truth is . It`s harder said then done . I`ve though of
it . If i were to be like her and study study . My grades would be
better i think . And then maybe i could get into a uni. But if
i did that wont i become a geek ? And everytime i think of sitting
down and studying , i would end up playing . Even playing with
anything thats on my table .
And i just realise i dont even know wat i would want to work as
in a few years time . I dont think a diploma can bring u very far
in this day and age . I totally have no plan for my future. I
decided to post here and get help from you guys because i`ve tried
talking to my slacking friends and i always get the same reply. AYA
DONT THINK SO MUCH.
But i think it`s time i think . If i dont think now when am i
going to start. And if u guys could tell me if i could get into any
uni if let`s say my GPA is like 2.5. Cause my gpa sucks now even if
i worked hard and get good grades i think it can only bring it up
to 2.5. I dont wanna retake my poly . It`s wasting 3 years of
my life . And about SAT`s exam is it like anyone could take it ? Or
do u have to have a good gpa to take the SAT exams. I really wanna
make a U turn in my life .
Pls help me Thanks.
if you really desire to change, you can and will.
change takes determination and discipline. nothing is impossible
in this world, save by your own willpower.
just ask yourself, how many more 20 years you can waste
away.
in another 20 years, you will be 40! and the next, will be 60!
every year passed, is one step closer to the coffin.
what kinds of memories do you desire to bring with you at your
deathbed, or share with your next generation?
these are all important questions which you alone must ponder
deeply.
cheers! :D
