STUDENT<br />
The best<br />
years of<br />
your life<br />
by Sophia McNamara<br />
“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s<br />
holy ground. There is no greater investment”.<br />
- Stephen Covey<br />
o what are you studying?” the student in my halls of<br />
“Sresidence elevator asks nervously, breaking the ice.<br />
“Law and Arts. You?”<br />
“Engineering and Commerce”<br />
“Nice. We’re both in long degrees, huh?” I said back,<br />
thinking about how unfortunate it was for both of us that<br />
we’re tied down at university for 5+ years.<br />
As I walked to my class it got me thinking. Is it really so<br />
bad to be studying at university for five or more years? You<br />
know, they say the years you spend at university are the best<br />
years of your life. With all the stress of exams, all the stress of<br />
being perpetually broke, all the stress of spending a thousand<br />
dollars on a subject that you could potentially fail, are these<br />
years really so great?<br />
