Thirteen Down, Three To Go

Well, tomorrow is the start of the last leg of my journey to discover my future...people say that university is the best years of your life, that it decides so much...that its the single most important time of your life with all the pitfalls to take you down along the way...an entire life's emotions condensed into three years...i say bring it

Don't get me wrong, the course itself will be more taxing than anything before, im well aware that of the millions that enter uni, quite a fair number dont make it through the course without some complications...but that wont be me, i write this more from hope than pure determination, anyone who knows me understands that promises like this i cant keep, purely because of what i'm like

Three years, the first meaning little, only to advance to the main course, two years of nothing but sheer work to eventually end up with the future that pays well...along the way are countless distractions, temptations designed to give you the option of using uni as a launching post or an extended holiday, to the victors goes a fancy career and possibly riches in the bank, to the fallers goes a valuable lesson, thousands of debt and lingering questions (also, probably more fun along the way). mixing pleasure with work is key, essensial to anyone wanting to go far in life

For me personally im apprehensive but ready, i know the path in front of me...not going to be easy no but should be a good barrel of laughs along the way...the fun of freshers and the weekly night outs will always be there, but i understand the need to mix that with getting off my arse and doing some work for a change...something that until now ive become an expert at avoiding. The students are what make this key though...nice, and its an experience of a lifetime and will benefit in the long run...terrible, and its a long three years of torment to gain the degree that will see me past them

Thirteen years of basically lucking out to get this far, now three left to decide if i, you, we, all of us...can live in a world where adpating, perservering and hard work are what it takes to go far in life...won't be easy, but by god its going to be a good ride
