For One Chance
Freshmen Orientation Camp.
wow. Within 36 hours, I will officially lose my title as a freshmen.
I will no longer be able to hide under the shadows of inexperience.
I will no longer be the 'youngest' ones around.
It was great being a freshmen. I enjoyed every one bit of it.
Getting lost without being embarassed, crashing the wrong lectures, having my sleeping videos uploaded on the net, making horrendous academic mistakes.
Within 36 hours, I would have spend one official year in university.
It was a fun year in school. I highly doubt any of my juniors would be reading this, but if they were, I would really want them to know that FOC is really the first step into this unique varsity life.
Unlike many other faculties, the students of this school is very tightly knitted. As communication is indeed the lifeblood of the school, people here are definitely alot more sociable than most others.
Without FOC, I would not have had no much ease knowing the numerous cliques, groups and colours personalities around me. Personally, I am a drifter who is very happy floating alone around by myself, but FOC made me appreciate the wide array of course mates I have.
In retrospect, this course is the most fun time in my academic life so far. Perhaps it is because the line between fun and work is not only blurred, but literally removed (well not always.. but mostly).
for my soon-to-be juniors, I have always lived by a quote that guaranteed (to me) happiness in my past year;
" Happiness is eternal, GPA is temporal"
No, this doesn't mean that you don't need to study instead, just remember why you are studying what you are studying. Communications is a hands-on profession. You either write well or get rejected by the editor. You either film well or go broke. You either speak well or fumble around humiliated.
GPA is a guage of how well you are able to read into your lecturers' expectations but it is by far not a guage of your future success. Happiness of success is often derived from the progressive realisation of your life's purpose.
What a pity it would be if you scored First Class Honours (you probably won't) just to realise that this paper is all that you have?
I've never studied beyond what is relevant or fun to me and I've never beat myself up over bad grades. Life is so much more than numbers and papers.
