Summer is just around the corner and so is the end of the semester. The stock pile of paper; homework is just getting out of hand and is bulging out for an outcry. That is my situation; for a graduating student other things are underway, job, security, loan, relocation and the hassle of moving from one place to another.
They must have learned quite a bit in the past four or five years of their education to venture out in this new world of competition. And for others left behind, the day for the registration window to open, the gate way to next term.
The final frontier to getting into your class, if you can find it at the right time; if not override and all the good stuff that comes along with not getting your class on time.
That window of new learning will open but will not come cheap.
It will only open if you have cleared your over priced education bills. Education is an exploration in a new world, to learn new things, to achieve new goals. To achieve all of this we have to pay a price, a price to prove you're worth the education.
But is university life more stressful? Why the fuss of dealing with all the rigors of joining a university? University is supposed to be a fun place, a place to learn new things, a place to make new friends, a place get yourself into a higher income bracket.
But it does not seem to be a fun place to hang around with, it is more complicated than I had imagined. Here I am in my senior year, full of wisdom and insight; I hope for the next big step at the verge of my graduation.
But these years that I spent in university has made me question the rising cost of education that will have an effect in the coming future generations.
