Panic About Future

I was panicking about my future, particularly about my internship as I told you before. I applied as many internships as possible, hoping that I could at least pass one of the tests held by various organizations hiring.

Time Zips By

As I went home from college yesterday, I was sort of trapped in traffic congestion. Suddenly, I remembered that one of my sister would be 30 this June, and now I’m 21 years old.

Time zips by, you know. It makes you question what you’ve done with your life, and honestly, I don’t know what I’ve done. And I’m afraid of the future.

An Avid Gamer

I used to dream to make my former hobby (i.e gaming) as my long-life job. You know, the kind who dedicated their lives to bring the best performance in the MMO game championship, like this team. Unfortunately, I’m no longer an avid gamer myself because of certain reasons.

Then, I moved on and temporarily become an avid reader. I bought several famous novel book from Sidney Sheldon — like Master of The Game and Mistress of The Game. And then I realized that my budget wouldn’t support my hobby as a reader, so I ceased.

Unraveled Society

A society that does not learn history is a society starting to unravel (inspired from here). Although there’s a quote quotes Napoleon saying, but I believe there’s still truth to history.

Supernormal Stimuli book said that human species were created to learn, to adapt to changes around them so they could survive. . . and create history. It’s the only way to keep the society from disintegrating and unraveling; we need to keep moving.

Tenacious Student

At any college, there will be students who are so diligent, so motivated and willful. These tenacious students usually are the A-students; those who excel in almost all subject and perceived as perfect students.

Pause for A While

I wish I could pause for a while. To take a look at a scenery, to relax, or to think. Or maybe when you’re talking to someone, pausing can help him digest what you’re talking about. It’s important, but some people are talking too fast and too much.

Looking at the picture above, I suddenly remember that I have a long desire to study digital picture manipulation — at least the basic. It allows me to manipulate any pictures exactly as I want it. And to study new knowledge outside my major, I surely need to pause my daily routine. I obviously can’t learn new things without unlearning something, right?

A Passport to Peace

You can always be successful by using your skills and knowledge, not to mention hard work and dedication. But what my sister always reminded me of was that no matter what you do, you have to be honest.

When you’re honest, you don’t have to remember anything bad that you did in the past. You don’t have to hide it for so long you’ll feel agony. At first, of course it may hurt so much— mostly because people consider your deed as a bad thing and react with hostility — but after you get through it, you will feel you’ve released a ton of pressure off your back.

Ordinary Life

Ordinary life sounds boring. Plain and repetitive, even maybe tedious. So many people have said that life is full of beautiful things to be seen, great places to be explored. They say you can enrich your knowledge and experience by living out of ordinary.

But not me.

Ordinary life may seem lifeless, but it somehow is appealing. You don’t have to keep exploring; you already have your own rhythm of life — wake up, go to work, improve, rest, and repeat. You don’t have to risk losing anything; ordinary life is already fine as it seems.
