UNI-Scholastic sapiens

The atypical college student. Goes to university fooling itself it is off on some amazing journey filled with unforgettable experiences and a rewarding educational experience. Instead has to contend with a gazillion others to get the edge over the other. With every C comes the dimming of that light at the end of the tunnel. Tantrums, caffeine filled nights, sleepless nights and pasta filled diets dominant its life. All this with the ever-fading dream that it would all be worth it, that it would result in the 5-figure salary and the fulfilling of all wishes and hearts desires. Perpetually stressed, aggressive. Can be distinguished from the crowd via his 2-tonne bag pack and over-sized ego, blackberry and iPod; struts around with an air of entitlement, and occasionally with an air of ‘que sera, sera”. Half of the things Scholastic would learn is subsequently forgotten by the next semester to make room in its egg-shaped head for all the info it would need to cram for midterms, finals and the like. You realize you have turned into this poor creature when the idea of being eaten by a bear seems more enticing than the prospect of getting a C in accounting. Oh no, the dreaded C? Lets not even think of Ds that’s a sad prologue to suicide!
