EAE- accept or reject?

Are you freaking out because you have no idea on whether to accept your EAE choices or not to? This following blog is here to help (I hope)

Firstly, ask yourself, do you really like the course that was offered for you? If no, reject the course. Secondly, ask yourself, does the course brings you to doing what you want to in the future or did you choose it a few months back just because it is a popular course? If it's purely because its popular and that you have zero interest in it, reject it. Thirdly, ask yourself again, are you able to cope in the course? As in, is it suitable for you? If you know you're not the type that can tolerate sitting in an office from 9am to 5pm and that's one of what the course offers, you may have to reconsider.

Honestly, I got rejected by my first choice. My second choice however, accepted me! Both my first and second choice allows me to be able to help people, and that's all I'm really looking for honestly. However, I am persistent in believing that the first choice will suit and interest me more, hence, I have decided to reject the second choice and take part in JAE; an exercise for me to apply courses based on my own O level's result.

Many told me, "hey don't reject that course, it's a very popular course and many people didnt manage to get in" and also "hey don't reject it, it will lead you to a very good future" but truth is, the whole point of the exercise; EAE is to get your ass into a desirable course of your choice, not plant yourself into a random course just because of its popularity or bright future.

All in all, all these factors are here to persuade you and mind blown you in an enthralling way by psychologically influence you into making choices that you might further regret in the future, hence, think of all the benefits and disadvantages and slowly consider on whether to accept or reject by seeing which eventually outweighs the other. You should ask your parents or teachers or friends for advices as well and take it into consideration too! Either ways, good luck and all the best!

Eww Examinations? Nah.

Have you ever wondered what examinations really are for? Well I mean, whatever we learnt in school, how much of it can really be applied in our daily lives as we enter into a new phrase of life?

Examinations stress people out, not all but plenty. These people tend to refrain from studying and when it is inevitable, they will start panicking because they want to do well but they know they haven't been studying hard enough.
Examinations teach people, similarly, not all but some. Those people tend to learn from their mistakes and ensures themselves to not repeat the same mistakes again.
Examinations are nothing to people, yet again, not to all but several. People tend to think that examinations does not mean anything and are not able to affect any of their future plans, seriously?

So what are examinations? There is no exact answer, but I feel that examinations are just something you'll have to go through to gauge how much you've been learning, or if you've been doing nothing but wasting your time in school.

I tend to advice my juniors and people around me to not start studying just because their examinations are around the corner but to instead, studying consistently bit by bit to refrain from stressing themselves out.
This came to my mind as I have wasted three years of my secondary school life doing everything else except studying. I did really badly in terms of academics and nearly retained. However, I found motivation and started striving for better grades. Wasn't easy at the beginning since the things that everyone knew, I don't.

Through this experience, I realise how important it is to study and don't waste time on the not-so-meaningful events and all.So hey, don't hate examinations and strive for perfection!
