Cyber craze

Why do we feel the need to 'like' and 'comment' on posts on Facebook ?

Why do we feel the need to take 'selfies' ?

Why do we feel the need to 'retweet' and 'favourite' on Twitter ?

Why do we feel the need to take every pictures of the things we do and eat at the time and post them everywhere ?

WHY ?

No logical or reasonable reason whatsoever.

It's like we, human beings, have turned ourselves into willing servants of the social networking sites, gadgets, technologies and the internet.

Maybe you could argue that taking pictures and capturing moments is for memory and posting up on sites so that the memory will not fade and share them with people so that everyone you know could share your joy and happiness.

Yes. that will be the only acceptable reason, although people overdo it and it becomes a craze and show-off medium and that does not explain the need to gain as many 'likes' as possible.

The thing is, moderation is the key.

Everything has limits.

Stay within the line and everything will turn out well and beautiful and meaningful.

But right now, I don't think there will be a turning-back.

We have gone too far.

What a pity .

Insight: Choosing a Degree Course

Firstly, I love the Mass Comm degree and I found out the reasons why I can't pursue this degree.

And then, I love the Law degree and I found out how I won't be able to make it till the end.

And then, i found something closer to my heart and picked English-related degrees , English Literature/ TESOL Education degree and stay with it because that is all I love all my life.

The message here is : YOU GOT TO FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO DEEP DOWN IN YOUR HEART.

Because that will ALWAYS lead you to the right place. 

Sometimes, it will be overwhelming that you know you have so many choices out there and you have a lot of interests and you feel like you can try out everything. 

But then again, when you sit down and think about it more, you will start eliminating choices because you found the reasons why the choices couldn't exactly work out for you in the end. 

A person could have many interests and many sides. But a person also has a main core purpose that he or she wants to do the rest of their lives. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what your degree got to be about. 

A study in degree is a time period in life which is important. You need to have fun while studying it , gain experiences, get to know the world and yourself better and path a future for yourself. 

Although it is perfectly fine that you end up doing something that has nothing related to your degree course when you start working, it will be so much nicer and better that you do end up doing something you studied for, that's the first best thing in options.

Be yourself and think for yourself. Don't let other people tell you who you are and what you need to do with your life. Study what you want and love. Chase dreams, fulfill goals. 

Best of luck to everyone ! 

Insight: Choosing an University

So, what really went through my mind during the process of university-picking ?

Here we are.

It's said that it's good to dream BIG and put your vision as HIGH UP as possible. Therefore, I have been eyeing the UK universities for the longest time.

And since I have been thinking about flying over to the UK to study for so long, it's only right and reasonable for me to apply for the universities there through ucas.com

So I did. I applied for 5 universities.

Thankfully, I GOT THEM ALL.

Now, as any determined, headstrong and logical dream-chaser would GRAB those opportunities to fly over to the UK to study, I DID NOT.

I have my very own reasons, ie: the unsuitability of the actual degree courses, the lack of scholarships, the challenges of living abroad and so on.

But the sheer satisfaction of getting offers from universities that I applied for is enough for me. It proves to me that I CAN DO IT.

So then what did I do?

I went back to my first love, my dream university for years, an university close to home but has the legacy from the UK. For me, it is the perfect combination, just simply perfect and I know in my heart no matter what choices that come my way, I'll still pick it and that's WHAT MAKES IT THE RIGHT ONE.

An insight on choosing the right degree course will be coming up next. Stay tuned !
