Carpe Diem

I know you guys have heard that phrase many times before and it can get a bit pretentious at times but seriously it does work.

When in first year you are literally thrown into the deep end. University is not like high school. The lecturers are not going to be you Facebook friends, your tutors are not going to be the comforting shoulder on which you cry on and the Warden of your Residence is not going to tuck you in at night and sing you a lullaby to sleep.

University as you've heard entails a lot of pressures and so the only way to deal is to go along with it. There's no use in wasting time and saying that you can't do it. Cause that's 1) ridiculous because you did after all make it into University in the first place and 2) Its just a waste of time to cry over spilt Milo.

Therefore take that infamous Latin expression to heart when you're faced with a Sociology test, an English Essay, a Politics Essay , a Journalism comic strip to act out and a Sociology Essay to complete in approximately 3 days.

As the expression goes "Eat, Drink and be merry ,for tomorrow we die".

P.S. Oh ya to those of you who don't know what Carpe Diem is, I suggest that you write Dummy on your forehead and run around like a zombie.

But seriously Carpe Diem means 'Seize the day'

So what are doing reading this post go grab that day by the ears.

My Schizophrenic Trip

Dear Lesh

You side tracked wanderer. Its time to leave the nest and travel abroad and experience the harsh sentimentalities that life so humbly offers us. By abroad of course I mean another province and not another country as I know you are too much of a wuss to take that leap. But a leap you are taking nonetheless. Gone are those days where we used to drink a bottle of tequila then wash it down with half a bottle of Southerns later resulting in us hugging the toilet for the rest of the night while our dear friend is shoving her finger down our throat because she once heard that if you make a drunkard puke then they’ll be as good as new. Yeah I still don’t know why she did it, maybe it was love or just out of annoyance with our drunken antics.

But that’s really not the point; I know you are as gullible as the Eskimo who buys snow from a sales person so take this advice with a cup of Milo. When you attend the sports and societies sign-up evenings do not be talked into anything just because that chap is hot or your friend is also considering some lame society that will only greet you with open arms then toss you out like the smelly banana skin that you are. The societies are evil as they take your money and really don’t offer you more than a crappy T-shirt that is bound to fade and tatter after the first three washes. Also do not join the photography society just because it looked cool and that maybe it would inspire you to purchase a camera. Since of course 1) You will never get over your cheapness and buy a camera and 2) You don’t like the dark so those dark room courses will be quite, what would you say, interesting. Also do not give in to the emails that you will receive from H.S.S (Hindu Student Association) they are the most boring people you will ever come across. Trust me on this one.

Instead of just randomly joining every society that offers alcohol, try to join only two that you think that would complete that hole in your life. So I guess it’ll be the infamous RAFSOC, which is known for its drinking antics, and ELECTROSOC, which has the most awesome parties ever......
