So Many Things

It's the last school day of the term for my cohort, and pretty much the end of my JC lifestyle as all the seniors are let off for self-study in preparation for the Prelims and the 'A' Level papers.

It's always the same - we seem to only cherish what we have already lost. I started to dread the thought of leaving the college two weeks ago when I came to a sudden realisation of how fast time flies without me realising. There are always two sides to a coin, and it is quite very unlikely to entirely hate or love something. I still dislike how the college compound is so sterilised of a culture -- all concrete and compact, very unlike how say, TJC looks like (TJC almost look like you can film a MediaCorp drama series inside). I still dislike how sometimes the disciplinary rules with regards to attire can go over the top when applied to an eighteen year old person.

Perhaps due to the young age of the college, I really feel at any point in time, as long as the college is evacuated, the college is nothing. There is no legacy to speak of, no history... nothing. It is only the times when the tutors and students coexist within that space that we form Meridian JC. There are so many things I will miss of that place - my civics group, my tutors, and my club. They form a great big part of my JC career and they are the things I'll not forget.

Regardless of how well -- or how bad -- I do in my 'A' Level papers, I will still not forget the college for how she shaped and refined who I am as a person.

Now, let me get back to studying.
