Life as a Student

Believe it or not, students nowadays, especially those who belong in the elementary and high school levels, would rather do something else besides attend school. In fact, most students from my Twitter timeline only take time "tweeting" just to rant about how school is literally taking over their lives. Stacking homeworks, endless exams, terror teachers - why do these things have to make our lives miserable? There are two major timelines a student would remember all his life - mainly high school and college. As much as students hate school, I'm positive that by the time they graduate to engage in this challenging world, they would've said something about missing the good ol' days, well, at least from my experience. What could be those ol' days they mostly refer to - high school or college?

High school is mostly rendered as the preparatory level for college. Its teachers will mostly give research homeworks with full guidance unlike college ones, now called professors, will not mind a student's means of performing, but rather care only about his/her outputs. The student count in high school is obviously fewer than that of a college. College can be a mini-version of the world, while high school, a bigger version of a family. In terms of physical size, there's no doubt collegiate schools outsize most high schools out there. When taking college, students must choose a particular course in which they strive to be professional in. High school merely offers the same basic subjects for everyone. Now, I'm only taking my first year in college. Fortunately, making new friends came very smoothly for me. I can foretell that, in time, the intimacy I once had with my friends during my time as a high school student can also be achieved with the new friends I acquired from college despite the shorter time to be allotted. To conclude, I guess different judgments will come from diversed students. Some may say high school provided more joy and excitement while others may think college life is the real thing.

GTFO - Go Take your Film On

Almost every child of this generation would rather stay at home than go to a cinema to watch a movie on a Friday or Saturday night. Well, that's what I've observed of other kids, including the kid who I was, for the past few years. From an ordinary child's perspective, of course, an hour of pure computer gaming will never surpass the leisure of sitting silently in a movie house. Contrary to what these kids think, watching a movie may actually do them some good compared to mass killing in a fantasy non-existent. I, myself, was one of these kids and believe me, I wish I could've read something I am writing about now.
During my years of dullness in life, my family would always try to make me watch a movie with them but I always declined. Now, I've finally realized I was wrong to do so. Being updated with movies actually has its rare perks. Firstly, a person who frequently watches movies will be able to cope with one's friends with the present stuff. Knowing the latest trends in movies, one can engage in conversations more easily than others. Have you ever gotten this feeling of burning sensation after watching a movie? This is simply what I would like to render as inspiration. We may relate our present lives with the movies in a way we may strive to live a life like that of the story presented in a particular movie. Stories usually end with happy endings, right? Movies also resemble books. According to my close friend, which I really agree to, books are a great source of knowledge. With movie scripts containing words beyond our comprehension, we will able to improve our literacy skills by putting them into use in journals or even in our daily conversations with people. The concepts and structures of the movies' stories are also great realms of learning such that knowing all these can boost our creativity in a pinch. Making our own plays in English class will definitely be easy as pie.
These are just a few of the advantages I've gathered during the long course of my "life-changing" phase. I'm sure there are more other things out there to be discovered. Why don't you go watch a movie and find out?
