Another Short Post

Hey guys, I know that I just posted yesterday but I think I'll create another post as I just got back from the laundry and will be going back in 15 minutes time to collect my clothes (they are in a drier in case you were wondering how laundry gets done in 15 minutes). Anyway, I just want to talk a bit more about making friends in college.

It's my personal feelings and I hope you guys get to learn from what I have to say. Due to the time restriction this post will be 'relatively' short. Okay, I actually started making friends and being a more open person in the past 3 weeks. Why? Well, it started when I attended a debate competition a few weeks back, 2 Saturdays ago to be more specific. I was a volunteer that helped out with very little thingslah actually, I'm really just a small fish. As  the debate club falls under the main campus, it typically received most of its members from there. I knew that going for this thing would make me go out of my comfort zone as I didn't know anyone from the main campus. 

Okay, here I am, an ADP student with zero friends at this thingy where everyone was buddies with the other person. I made friends with my superiors and soon I started mingling with their friends and so on. Basically, I learnt that you must not ignore things that you here (the context must be taken into consideration of course). I overheard conversations and didn't hesitate to make friends with people who was talking about things that I knew about. I also know that there are some people who would be a bit unwelcoming to you just dropping into conversations like many of the wannabes in ADP but there are many out there who do not mind. And, I failed to realize one thing about human nature. EVERYONE WANTS TO MAKE FRIENDS JUST LIKE YOU DO. I know that I have been living for close to 21 years but I just realized this. 

If you want to make friends with other people do remember that they are as eager to be your friends as well. I know as guys, we tend to have very little friends who are girls that we can actually talk too, but girls are the same and I think that they too want to have guy friends as we want to have friends who are girls. So don't be too afraid to go up to girls and talk to them ( do this in the right way of course, your time). An lastly, loose your inhibitions. Don't think that this will be bad or wrong, just be a sincere and show that you want to make friends with them. Start with small talk and get to the specifics later. Also, it helps if there is another person there. Both of you would not get cornered. 

That's all take care.

The New Semester Begins

It's been a year since I first joined ADP and I am 3 weeks into the new semester. This post won't be so long as I'm planning to take my shower in a few minutes and just wanted to update you guys on how I've been as there is nothing to read on anyone's blogs. Yea, you guys know who you are :( 

I am taking 5 subjects this semester which are Calculus, Differential Equations, Physics 1, American Literature and International Relations. My tutors in this semester are very good and I think they're the best I've ever been given in any one semester. I only have problems with Differential Equations as I do not understand what my tutor is talking about. He is extremely knowledgeable but it think he is unable to convey the message to the class effectively and my friends and I wonder what is the point of all of this. Like really, I don't get anything. It's all studying by my self I guess. 

Apart from that, I have recently extended my friend network as I have been going out with my housemate, Steven's friends as well. It is great as I finally feel as if I have more people to do stuff with and I have been doing so many things too. I went to a Bazaar just last Saturday and a Ramadhan Bazaar today. I'm quite pleased that I get to do so many things with them since they are not from around KL or Subang and want to explore the area as well. I have been taking up Steven's invitation so that I would hopefully be allowed to join them in more activities. I still keep in close contact with my original group of friends though as we get to talk about loads of things. I also try my best to go to the gym every week or so with Nicholas to get a workout. Nicholas is more determined than ever to bulk up this semester. I just want to lose my 3 pack. 

Apart from that, studies have been going smoothly for the past 2 weeks as the work has not yet piled up. I actually wanted to take Macroeconomics or Psychology or Sociology but ended up with International Relations after losing my bid. Shit, regret not submitting my form on Monday. Sucks big time. I'm trying to be active this semester as I haven't really reaped the benefits available at Taylor's. First of all, I am joining the Taylor's Business Plan Competition. I have submitted my proposal and it is now left to the judges to decide on whether we have a decent business idea worth investing in. I am also hoping to go to a Model UN conference in Help University. I actually missed two UN conferences this year for being influenced too much by my friend. I guess I will be listening more to myself from now on. We wanted to plan a weekend where I'd go to his house but it ended up getting canceled which dealt me a huge blow. I hope that there would be more activities. I would like to be put out of my comfort zone. 

I think that is all for now. That's all. Goodbye. Till next time.
