as teenagers/ young adults, i guess there are a few expectations to fulfil. especially from our own parents. well, i've got a few that i would like to fulfil, personally. these, i guess, are the basic aspects that we should grow accustomed to:
- to be a good son
- to be a faithful/ active follower of christ
- to be a good/ active student
- to be a good bf (well, i've gotta be responsible right?)
*i would love to add - a good sporstman but too bad i have neither the skill nor the talents to really make it big in any sport.
well... from the overview, it would seem to be an easy task right? just four objectives. well, let me break it down one by one, in my view point.
good/ active student. i dun know bout other students. but it seems like studies have taken up a large portion of my days right now. taken up much more of my time than my liking. just felt like, it's something that i HAVE to do. i dunno why. it ain't like this back in secondary school. and it's affecting my relationship with my gf much more than i expected. and because of that, even my frens (jason in particular) have labeled me as the "ffk" guy... and lately, i have tried to be an active student as well... trying to get involved in various projects in my uni... but it's definately more challenging than it seems. never seem to have enough time in a day. and i think i sleep less compared with the normal guys. i practically sleep bout 3/4 hours a day... on a good day, i get 5 hours of sleep.
faithfull/ active follower of christ. i have to admit i ain't strong religously. i started going to bible class early this year but i have skipped the past 8 classes (2 months) due to exams and robocon and stuff... and the youth group. i really wanted to be part of it but how can i? do i have the time to spend during the weekends? i would dread making promises that i can't keep.
good son. this is, for me, the main pritority right now. my parents have sacrificed a lot for me. and because of them, i am who i am right now. i know it's not much but at least i hope i can make them proud. they have given me all that i could ask for. all the support and love that i need, a wonderful home to live in, delicious food for every meal and a sound education.
last but not least, a good bf. well... for some this is not important. but i feel that, the moment i decided to have a gf, i should take the responsibility as her bf. to treat her nice, to pamper her, to make her happy. but i do realise i've not been doing that lately. i realise that i've been breaking a lot of my promises to her. just hope that she can understand my situation. it's not that i dun wanna fulfil my promises. i just can't.
well... there you have it. how do i achieve all those? i only have 24 hours a day like everyone. how does everyone achieve it? and not to forget, there are many more that i would love to do. my guitar class, my robotic project, my computer games, my weekly night out, weekly game of futsal... all of which i haven't given much thought lately or simply haven't got the time to do.
it could all boil down to time management and discipline, the 2 characters which i kinda lack. and it could be that my priorities are not right. or maybe i'm just thinking too much and taking things too seriously. maybe all i have to do is to chill and relax. enjoy life as it is. so wat do u think?
