At the risk of sounding like a uni loving loser, I am going to admit that I don't like how many holidays we've had lately. I never thought I'd say something so terribly outrageous as that, but I have many reasons for doing so, and they're GOOD reasons at that!
My Top 3 Reasons For Why I Am Being A Party Pooper And Wishing We Had Less Holidays This Semester!
- MOTIVATION & SELF DISCIPLINE - Having had last year off before I started uni after I finished school, when uni started I was fully motivated and the first couple of weeks I tought myself to be very self disciplined. Then we had a weeks holiday, just as I had gotten myself into a work routine and that all went out the window! And now I don't know where it went... so I can't find it....
- MONEY - Being a uni student has made me poor. This means I can't afford to go out, and more importantly, I can't buy myself a new outfit to wear out every freaking long weekend! Whats the point in having a holiday if you can't afford to have fun?
- THE DETERIORATION OF BRAIN CELLS - Long weekends usually mean Mondays off. Which usually means Fishos or some sort of Sunday session. One of these every now and then is ok.. But 2 in a month has done permanent damage! Not only have I lost brain cells as a result of these elaborate long weekends, I've lost sleep, which harms my health, which limits my energy levels, which effects my study (so mum, if you're reading this, I'm sure you'll understand that bad grades are seriously out of my control this semester)
The underlying message here is that holidays can be harmful if not enjoyed in moderation. Who ever is incharge of holidays should think about the long term effects these holidays and long weekends could be having on today's society!
I suppose what I'm really trying to say here, is that I'm pissed off because I missed out on our New Com. Tech. tutorial as it really is the highlight of my week.
Does that earn me a High Distinction?
