life is short (if you were to compare the amount of years an average human lives to the amount of centuries that Earth has been living, which is definitely an unfair comparison) and if you were to study in Republic Polytechnic, your lives seem shorter than ever.
Weeks ago there was a flu outbreak with hundreds to be sent home (thankfully no death cases), students committing suicide, students getting hit by a train and students ending their lives figuratively by doing so bad academically. No pun intended. Some of these can be controlled whereas some, pityingly, decided that life is so very much fucked up and the best solution is to fool around. Sickening thing is, they are damanging the lives of those around them.
For all those issues that i've mentioned none has a greater effecy than what im going to say next. This is something that i am unhappy yet still adapting to. That would be the Republic Polytechnic (RP) 'every semester's changing of class'. I know nuts why this system being used but i heard from some that this system is to expose students to the working life which supposedly also changes after every working semester. You'll meet new people everytime, face new challenges and with relevant to the semester changes to the facilitator (or known outside as teachers but facilitator task in RP is not to teach but to guide and manage the class. However they are good facilitators in RP that actually teaches so that the students understand and actually learning)
This class changing system isn't doing any good to me who is already having problems keeping friends. I prefer to stick with a group of friends rather than going around changing and making new friends, in and out. It wears me out. "It is extremely difficult to maintain friends," an outsider from another poly said to me. My mistake was not to told him that true friends stay by your side.
Another friend of mine told me otherwise, which i totally agreed, "A True Friend is the one that sticks by your side throughout the whole journey,". Even if you havent met him for months, everything seems normal when you meet and it is as though you met him the day before. A true friend should also be understanding. A friend who does not force you in doing something, ignores you when things do not go the way they want it to be and only be there when things are doing so well.
This is what i think a true friend should be. Feel free to disagree with me.
I hope to keep one or two friends from each of my semester classes if to keep all of them is deemed as impossible.
