I wish i'm less serious

Jazzytunez SG

Without much awareness, as the years go by, i find it harder to look life with a lighter heart... not as light-hearted as i'm used to be... well, things will never be the same esp after going through a period of darknes.. and struggling.. after that, u will feel tired... of everythings..

Duno why i finding it harder to be less serious... miss those time when i can crap with friends and play... when my life is more idle...When i stop thinking more about things and start to living life in the moment and for the moment.

Lots of my friends complain that they are old but heck they just reach only 21 years old. Feel like my education is draining my energy away.

I think i need to readjust my negative mental mindset... but it's not like ABC?

Well this is life's contridictions... When we are younger we used to love being an adult. Well now the time has come, but we wish to turn back time....
Well, guess you have heard be4 this slogan... ' work hard and play hard' stick to it and make ur life more meaningful.... Mr. Green

We all grow old everyday ... Very Happy

What is most important is that we live in the present and not the past.
Hopefully, someday you will look back on your life and see that you have done the things you had wanted to do, that you had followed your heart.

If you're thinking that you are old at the age of 21, wait till you reach 30 or 40 or 50 ... Wink

I like to play hard, work hard but my degree i currently studying doesn't allow me to have the freedom to play as hard as i want... or can...

i wish i have the same kind of energy and dynamics as i used to have... i'm just feeling tired now...

Kismet SG

There is always enough time for other activities other than studying for your degree. The reason why you are tired or burnt out could be that you are focusing too much on your studies and neglecting to eat well / sleep well / exercise etc.

If you can afford it, take some time off to recharge before hitting the books again. Go catch a movie, go jogging, catch up with friends etc. It might help you relax a little.

Life should not always be about studying for good grades only ... Cheer up Very Happy

The problem is that i'm not motivated to study... there why 'dabao' so many subjects...so sianz and stress cos' have to clear them... even now when i'm having my holiday...i didn't study at all.. where peers of mine are not slogging..
Simply study for the sake of a degree...

How to cure my serious mindset and attitude?

Devil1976 SG

There's nothing wrong with having a serious mindset and attitude... Just understand that there's a time for work... And there's a time for PLAY... There are books available in the market and library to help you change your mindset... Source for them...

Balance your personal interest and try to live a healthier life style... Only when you're content with your personal life would you be able to perform better in your academic ones...

And understand that life is not all about 'performance' and 'efficiency' alone... If that's the case, might as well we just live as 'Energizer batteries'...? Mr. Green

I guess when we get older, we become more serious cos have to work hard for degree, then find a job. No longer so carefree as in the teens.
It will get worse when u join the 'rat race'.
U have to learn to balance work & play.
Take time off to recharge if u are feeling 'burn out'.

Yeah, that's why I usually tell people who are still studying to enjoy their school days. Things are pretty much crap once you enter the rat race...
