University Life vs. Work Life

Yun Yee came to KL for vacations, and so Doreen (and boyfriend) and I met up with her. It was kind of a last gathering for us girls, as Yun Yee will be going back to Sabah while Doreen and I will be spending work life in KL.

Anyways…

University life and working life really makes a difference in all of our lives. We truly agreed that university life is the best time of all. Those were the moments where there are happenings like assignment rushing madness, late-nights yam cha, empty talking, latest and hottest gossips, movie marathon, dance dance revolution, new love birds, heart-breaking, ambitious career dreams and talks… Now, all those seem so faraway, as if those moments were just a blink of the eyes.

Working life… Urgh… I wish I don’t need to talk about it, but let’s face it; we all need to go through it at one point in our life. Work life is not exactly fun as we all might imagine it would be during our university days. We get motivated easily during uni. time, in order to achieve that dreamed career. Of course, people get motivated at work too, when they are passionate about their job, or they got praises from their bosses. Sadly, that is rarely seen. Most people dislike their job, due to many reasons: zero job satisfaction, low pay, little benefits, work overload, no work, no interest and etc. The only motivation they have is during pay day, and it usually only lasted for a while.

Work life = no life. Why? ‘Cause work life takes away activities and things you used to do or enjoy doing. Here are few examples:

  1. By the end of the day, you just want to get home quick, take a shower and rest.
  2. Logging into facebook is not a must anymore.
  3. Hang-outs with friends eventually get lesser. You rather sleep.
  4. The only time you get to spend time with your partner is on weekends. Or maybe not, because sleep is more important!


NOW, WHERE DOES THIS RUMOR THAT WORKING LIFE IS BETTER COMES FROM?!!
