If I Could Turn Back Time...

...I'd surely want to be a student again!

Whenever I think back to my student days, I'd make a silent wish for time to reverse; allowing me to go back as an eager, innocent learner again. Some of my best moments in life occurred when I was still a young student. My sole mission was to learn and excel at my course. Nothing else occupied my mind aside from maintaining my good grades and getting that degree, which at that time seemed so distant; almost unreachable!

There was no worrying about bills, work presentations, meeting targets, meetings and so on. My focus was solely reserved for studying, hanging out and partying with friends in college! Don't get me wrong though for despite my playful ways, I still made sure my grades were good. During my university days, I made the Dean's list every semester! As much as I loved partying back then, I had to maintain my good grades especially since I was on a scholarship. I did not want to have to pay back my sponsor so liked it or not, I had to excel during my two years in uni, which I did so YAY!

When I hear some of my student friends talking and sometimes complaining about their classes, I actually feel a tad envious! I am no longer a student and working is seriously such a big difference from my carefree student days. Working translates into huge responsibilities, even when you are working from home like me. You have to pay your own bills, manage your bank accounts and you still have to make sure you earn enough every month to cover your necessities. You no longer have your parents to support you; for you are now working and earning your own way through life and whatever lies ahead.

To my student friends, I hope you guys will take this time in your life to truly comprehend and grasp the meaning of being a student. Your main responsibility for now is to attain excellence in whatever it is you're currently studying. Put aside everything else and focus on earning those good grades, which trust me; will definitely help you realize your dreams in life as you get older.

Enjoy your student days while it's still yours for the taking, especially today when you are presented with so many new outlets and opportunities to help enhance your student status.
