Irony and University life principles

Life is... ironic. Sometimes. I've left behind my life of depression and am living in a new life of joy and of light. But now I am kinda stuck with the character of a mother who lost her child but is finding it hard to move on especially when her husband breaks down at the mention of the lost child and is trying to hide the existence of that child from the one that is living to protect her from living a life scarred by the loss but is seemingly failing as the "ghost" of the daughter comes back to haunt.

Complicated. It is a depressed mother and I am finding it hard to enter into character especially now when randomness and giggling and laughing at the randomest things became a sort of an escape from the stupidity and tension of the stupidity that is going on among my course mates.

I don't understand how their minds are wired. Such an innocent thing, some good news shared, they interpret as being selfish. Totally mental these people. And these people are the ones I mentioned before that are the ones who takes control and take responsibility of things that were supposedly on my platter.

Thanks to God, the many circumstances that I've faced before this and the people that God has placed in my life, I have learnt many important life lessons and life principles that keeps me calm and unnerved in this kind of silly situations.

#1 This is real life. This is not High School Musical or Glee or whatever teenage school drama so don't hallucinate in dramas that aren't there.

#2 Pick your battles wisely. Some are worth fighting, some are not. Be wise. Some things are out of plain stupidity which are seriously not worth the time, effort and heart.

#3 We can't control what others think of us. Be secure in your identity and keep your conscience clear. Then you don't have to fear anything else that is out of your control even if they go haywire because they won't be able to find something wrong to hold against you but their stupidity.

#4 In university, your main aim is to gain knowledge and experience for your future. Other things falls at the bottom of your list. Invest your time and effort in the right place.

#5 University life is temporary. Friends in uni are also temporary unless they are worth investing in (which I find very little). So don't hold on to those things too tight especially if they drag you down.

I wasn't supposed to enter into this but it is going on hot right now and I feel like I am the most popular person because they are facebooking statuses about me, they are tweeting about me and they will be talking about me tomorrow morning.

But, hey, my conscience is clear and I don't have to fear. There are tons of work to be done than to thrive in those stupidity.

Time to sleep! :D
