Second week into school. Really can't seem to get in the mood for school or for anything at all.

I remember two years ago, after A levels prelim and before the actual A levels, I broke down in school and started questioning myself why I'm studying all the nonsense I was trying to memorise. Why science stream? Why all those nonsense which I don't even enjoy? Why JC? I actually burst out into tears in school. What a stupid girl?? But my friends were telling me, I still have time to change my path, I was still 18. I had the luxury to make mistakes and learn from it. Well I guess I did. No more phy nor chem now. Studying what I chose because its what I like and enjoy. Have to say it is a right choice. I hate it when people choose courses because  they think they will earn millions in that career path. I mean, yes, of course we want to have a stable income in the future which whatever skills or knowledge we pick up in uni. But, really? To be an accountant/doctor/lawyer, etc, just because of the high average income? Or worse, choosing a course just because their grades allow them to. People struggling in school cuz they hate what they are studying but hanging on because they think the cert is gonna bring them reputation and money, put your hands up. Shame on you.

Gradually realise that there are two kinds of people -- people who do what they want and people who do what their friends do. The first group of people decide what they want and convince friends to follow or would just step out of their comfort zone to meet new people in a new environment. While the latter would stick to their friends' decisions with no mind of their own. I'm not putting down anyone in any of the two groups, but I'm just pointing out how different people's priorities can help them make differing decisions. Well, its interesting. And thats probably part of the reason why I enjoy being alone sometimes. I get to do what I want, go to where I want to without having to consider where the person I'm with wants to do/go. I don't understand why some people are so afraid of being alone. I understand we need company at times. But time alone can be good time spent too. Well maybe I'm a loner so I think about it this way. Honestly, teenage years changed me.

数年前,她常说我单纯,她常笑我无知。
现在的我才发现当时她说的是对的。因为现在的我看着过去无邪的自己,又爱又恨。
无法改变的是我再也不能那么天真了。
要相信最好的朋友,他们永远是对的。旁观者清。
