into the alienated
Into the alienated world we went. All the unknowns filling up our perplexed mind, and with the start of the first semester drawing nearer each day, making us feeling edgy. Maybe they should go through more on the allocations of AUs for the different requirements instead of just breeze through them.
It's comforting to know that we have a legion of approachable lecturers but it's unnerving to know that we are indirectly, and perpetually, being pressurised to out-do ourselves consistently like how coal are being pressurised to become diamonds under a long period of time.
Can we turn into valuable and rare diamonds after 4 years, where everyone yearns for it; or we'll remain as the cheap and insignificant coal, where nobody will even give a single glance?
Some might say '天生我才必有用.' We'll be used for warmth; but how long can we last till we are of no use?
Nonetheless, we shall stay optimistic and confident, guys! =) (for those who are on the same boat xP)
