sometimes i feel that society can't help the way it is progressing. Given the limited amt of time pple have to interact with each other, the most convenient way to 'assess' one is through academic results. good results imply a good brain and willingness to work hard. and it is only natural that these pple are given the 'chances'.

but things are not as bleak as it seems. actually, your problem is small. the second major thing, i mean. being in uni is already an advantage that many others do not have. how others look at you is only as important as you allow it to be. what value 'society' tags to you only becomes valid if you allow it to be. you are who you are, not what society thinks you are, or what chances/opportunities you are given.

in light of the all these natural disasters, of the bigger picture of life and death, i feel that academic/social standing, albeit important, should take a backseat in our hearts. if only we allow it to.

look in the mirror and give yourself a huge grin! society is giving us enough pressure as it is. don't help it by giving ourselves more.
