Post Uni, Pre Grad

4 years in Sunway and 3 years in Monash have flashed by. And this relatively short space of time has been instrumental in the analysis of people's characters and culminating with the dissemination of potentially misleading yet permanent labels. There is the greedy horny uni whore, the dramatic attention seeking player, perpetual 2-faced failure, notorious flirt, the lifeless who attract people of the same sex and people who abuse for work, the real loner with rumoured intentions of using people, the predominantly mindless and the list is practically endless.

It seems that wherever you go, be it in an educational institution or a corporate establishment, labels are bound to follow you around. Another thing that follows you around? Social divides. They are omnipresent, and exist between all types of cliques - the insiders and outsiders. If you never were on the inside, then there is no chance of penetrating that bubble that symbolizes that divide no matter how hard you try. In brevity, people from different worlds were just never meant to mix.

Friends come and go, some may appear genuine only to have hidden and underlying motives and agendas, and some friends last the distance and remain friends for a lifetime. Desires are born all the time for personal gain at the expense of others, and while tactics employed to attain these gains may vary from friends in uni to colleagues in the corporate world, the intentions don't. We can only learn from mistakes made and hope to avoid repeating them. As we each traverse our own path, we can only pray to have the enlightenment in future when dealing with people, and be intelligent enough to sieve the true friends from the fakes. From here on out, with the hand that life has dealt us, it seems as time passes we each become irrelevant and non-existent in each other's lives. For most of us, the corporate world awaits. For others, the job hunt continues. And for other sects, they pursue further education. And for the very hardcore, a combination of work and studies became their calling. The transition from studying to working is bound to pose a challenge, but hey, who said life was easy?

Found this to be quite relevant...
