Campus Life- it's a honeymoon!

I am so proud to stand here as a Puncak Perdana student. Well, this statement WAS not from the bottom of my heart...honestly. But now, it is! It has changed! i love Puncak.... (without comparing it with my beloved campus, UiTM Melaka...it is the best anyway!). Whenever we are in, we need to be grateful to God since we are still alive....and able to breath peacefully on the top of Perdana Height. The air is purely clean, and ready to be inhaled by the people...(I am not saying it sincerely! The fogging session make me feel like dying you know!!!)

He3...back to the point! It is popular belief that it is great to be young. My older friends keep reminding me that this is the best time of my life. They urge me to enjoy what they describe as my ‘honeymoon’ days. I can think of several reasons why people consider campus life as the best time of our lives.

To start with, we have a lot of friends in our campus. It is hard to be lonely when we are surrounded by so many people. There is always someone to do things with, such as studying, doing assignment, playing games and outing as well. I suppose this situation of having company all the time will not happen again when we have graduated.

Furthermore, I find my life here is not restrictive; comparing to my previous schooldays. There are not too many rules to follow. I am sorry to say this; I am not an obedient person but I manage to survive in a campus peacefully. We can say that students have a major problem with punctuality. We will discover that some lecturers are too authoritative. But in my schooldays, the rules are strictly followed and surely I got into trouble often.

The next pleasure is undergraduates have only a few responsibilities. All our needs are guaranteed by our loans or scholarships. There is delicious food provided in three dining halls, daily credits of dining card and even some luxuries like washing machines.

To our lucky, here, some lectures spoil us with notes and we do not even have to think very hard as they are so anxious to help us pass our examination.

In spite of all this, I am not sure my campus life is the best days of my world. I am not that happy and I think you can guess of a main reason for my unhappiness.

The only reason is, I hate stress of doing assignments and having tests. There are too many of them in the Malaysian education system. We ourselves have already been through a mountain of tasks and will seat for another final examination at the end of the semester. Moreover, some of us have weekly tests and homework. Therefore, campus life brings tiredness itself.

I hope that the best time of my life is yet to come. I think the best moment will be when I have gone through all the semesters. Frankly speaking, it is unnecessary to work and be financially independent while we are still studying. Let our parents or PTPTN to look after us. Only then will we have the special part of our life. Cool….I love Puncak! (actually I miss Melaka much!)
