The Life of a University Student

Now I know why they say that being a university student is tough and so unhealthy. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard of a news report saying that students actually died from eating too much instant noodles. As if that is not enough, I have more reasons to explain why our lives is so terrible. Of course this doesn't apply to students who are lucky enough to be staying with the parents where they have a maid or their mother cooks and cleans for them.

1. No time to cook proper meals, hence eating instant noodles is a regular thing.
2. You get so damn sick of eating roti all the time.
3. Da bao-ing is expensive and even more unhealthy due to the amount of oil, salt and MSG added into the cooking.
4. Ending up eating lots of junk food like chips and chocs.
5. Getting addicted to caffeine from coffee, tea or coke.
6. Missing or skipping meals due to your busy schedule.
7. Eating at odd hours, leads to gastric problems.
8. End up popping pills for gastric, headaches and not being able to sleep.
9. Lack of sleep.
10. Sleeping at odd hours.
11. No time to exercise because reports, assignments, projects and studying take up all your time.
12. Not being able to relax or have a day off to go out and take a break.
13. Wanting to waste some time to make yourself feel happy but realising that it's not worth it...might as well use the time to catch up on your sleep = how depressing.
14. So looking forward for the exams to come and end quick but then again, you haven't been doing any studying since all your time so far has been spent on reports and projects = OH MY GOD!!!
15. Piling up of workload = more stress.
16. Getting poor grades = more more stress.
17. Getting rejections from supervisors due to poor grades = more more more stress.
18. Getting lousy reports, assignments and projects = more more more more stress.
19. High stress levels lead to more gastric problems which leads to even more stress = feeling so pressured and gastric ulcers and a hole in your stomach at the same time, how more worse can it get?
20. Getting presentations screwed up = please just let me die.
21. Being told last minute that you have present both first and last = damn not prepared at all.
22. Having group members who hack care about everything = time to super-pia to make up for their parts.
23. Having group members who bother a little but don't understand what is going on and explaining till you're blue in the face is useless = life is hopeless.
24. Having group members who are supposed to do their part and actually come for the presentation but at the last, last, last minute they cock up some stupid story about how they have conjuctivitis or the flu hence they will not be able to come so now you have to present their part for them from memory and you hardly know anything anyway = I curse that member.
25. Having to present to the group without any notes because of a slight miscommunication problems = I feel my eyes getting wet...
26. No 20 + No 21 = runs to the bathroom.
27. Having no money to go out shopping or treating yourself to something nice = life is like that.
28. Having the money to treat yourself but not having any time to go out anyway = money is not everything.
29. Wanting to relax but being unable to do so when you look at the piles of notes and books you have yet to read through = sighhhhhhhhhh.......
30. Having the time, the resources and the chance to ask and clarify any problems but not making use of the chance and now it's too late = ok now I'm really dead, no amount of consolation or pep-talks will help so just leave me alone.

Is it any wonder why there are so many student suicides? Good thing I don't have any relationship problems to add on to my stress levels...I'm already up to my max....
