Why do grades matter?

The problem with root cause analysis is that no matter how many "why's" you answer, it will always end up that it was you who had done something wrong. That's what I've learned and realized today. Not that it matters a lot but it can affect a person a lot more than you can expect. Getting depressed over a quiz is something normal that a college student who has the same field as mine would naturally feel. Grades are everything in college. They decide what your rank is and how people look at you. Well, that's how life is... Even in normal circumstances we look at those who are on the top most highly without recognizing the people who had set the standard for us to label them as "on the top" (I hope you get what I mean - we wont be able to address people as 'on the top' if there are no people 'at the bottom', it is the same as experiencing happiness, we can't describe the feeling of happiness if weren't able to experie...

5 Things that Automatically Changes from Elementary to College

Over time, our needs change. From preschool to college we depend on our parents almost on everything, but just how did things change over that period of time?  This  time I tried to think of 5 things that automatically changes from elementary to college, (which includes knowledge that is too obvious to the point that I can't even elaborate it in a special way). I didn't include preschool since I'm to young to remember whatever I needed at that time, if you remembered whatever those were feel free to comment it down below! :)  So here it goes! 1.

("there's a ghost!") and all your friends will shout and run for their lives like there is no tomorrow.  Highsc...

It is not life that is "unfair"

Trust me, people always blame "life" for their own misfortune. Well, not really "misfortune", but the results of their own doings. Well, it can't be helped right? All of us has the same experiences, I mean not really the same experiences but admit it, once upon a time, you blame life for whatever bad things had happen. Well, for me it is not life that is to blame. Let's take a student who studies hard for an example and imagine that the student is you . Well, all students study hard anyway, or at least they do their work as a student just to pass, so I could say, no student is a total slacker, nobody graduates without doing any effort, even students who keep on parasitising their other classmates actually made an "effort" to copy and cheat, well I guess, cheating also needs some courage and effort, you sacrifice a lot just to cheat, it is either you get a higher grade or the teacher/professor catches you and you luckly get  5 whic...
