5 MYTHS REGARDING A UNIVERSITY STUDENT'S LIFE

  1. You can choose to attend a lecture or not it's up to you --- which is a total bullshit. Here in my university, students need to have 90% attendance in order to sit for the final exam. Back in my days in KDU College, minimum required attendance was only 80% every month. And everyone (not everyone ok but many people) cares. 
  2. Free period is free period --- Also a lie. You'd think certain class is cancelled for the day and you have the whole free period to yourself. Maybe take a nap or two. Don't be deceived!! The next thing you know, some other lecturers have decided to replace those periods with their classes instead.
  3. A balanced academic timetable. Again, you'd think the daily schedule provided to you at the start of the month seems perfect. A nice amount of break between classes for you to catch a breath or have some meals or do your zuhr' prayer. LIES ALL OF EM ARE LIES. I've been sweating a tonne because I have this class at 1pm to 2pm (this is a weekly 'replacement class') and another class from 2pm-5pm. Tell me where am I supposed to selit my zohor prayer?? I'm not even exaggerating when I say those classes are at the opposite of each other. Dahlah kena rush jalan, kena rush solat lagi?? What the heck, I'm studying at a Malaysian, supposedly-an-Islamic country university that should prioritize prayer time for the convenience of the students. Then I have to go to class feeling uncomfortable because of all the sweatings I've done. I know I'm the only few who experienced those kind of nuisance but please.
  4. Where to dine is always a tough decision. Hahah fret not my friends. In my university, there are only 4 places that me and my friends go to to have meals. We don't have to choose where to eat because it depends on the time and place that we are at at the moment. Not much choice but it's a lot way easier that way. Unless you have a car and you can go anywhere you like without limitation, then you may encounter this kind of problem.
  5. EVERY WEEKEND IS OUTING TIME! Well, NO. You'd be surprised at the amount of homework and assignments you have accumulated along the week. Good luck with that. I do go out once in a while with my friends to Aeon but mainly because I have to stock up my food and nescafes and teas. 
Initially I wanted to do a 7 Myths--- but I am out of ideas on what more to write so I think this is enough?
