Its really sad..that this awesome semester is coming to an end.
This semester has really changed my life. Partly thanks to hall life. Had a fair share of ups and downs. And I'm glad my newly adopted mentality towards academics has made life so much more meaningful. Just hope that more people can do the same in toning down the intensity. Let's stop this bullshit rat race.
Of course, I am not advocating the abandonment of studies. It's YOUR responsibility as a student to put in your best in academics. It's about individual integrity, and understanding what your duty is. Your family do not want to see you go to school and then place studies on the back burner. It's about morals. There's nothing wrong to pursuing what you like, but dammit, you are still a student. And so do it like a responsible adult.
Made a tough decision several weeks ago. The hall main committee requested me to join them as the Sports Secretary (in charge of the entire sports scene of the hall). I gave it serious consideration, but ultimately, rejected the role. I have great dreams and ambitions. Imagine the glory, the respect, and the rewards of holding such a key role. But the reason for rejecting is that I'm not going to let my lofty ideals blind the reality. I am definitely not ready for such a major commitment, especially since I am still relatively new to the hall. Also, not that I am shunning away from work, but my hall is going to organise Inter-Hall Games next year, and it's going to create a heavy workload for the sports secretary.
Although I know it's going to be an exciting challenge, I still remember the fact that I paid school fees primarily to study, not to put all my energy and time into serving the hall. Next year is going to be hectic in terms of academics, and I am afraid I am unable to give my full commitment to the role. Hence, at the moment, I believe rejecting the role is the best option for the hall and myself.
However, I am looking forward to joining the committee in Year 3. I wanna get some real kick-ass fun and experience as a key appointment holder.
As for now, it's exam time. After 3 May, I will be freaking free like a bird all the way till August. Bring it on.
