Question: 'What was it like when you were still a student?'

Let me share my nerdy or geeky things during my school days. I tend to be one because it needs me to maintain good grades for being in a scholarship program before. Besides the point, I am so driven to finish my major. It is a ticket to having good jobs in the future, which I had some right after graduating my university. Don't get me wrong. I did some fun with my batchmates, such as drinking, outing, etc. But I put my studies first before doing these things. 'What memorable experiences did you have?' Image Credit: thumbs.dreamstime.com

The adventures of youth! I think we all had something like that! After a night of fun, instead of taking the train in one direction, I went to the other about 200 km.

@soymex I can relate to that. Most of my college friends or batchmates are so busy in their lives lately. In addition, they are living in other countries.

I can feel you with that concern. I wish I could still bond with my old friends. Are you still in contact with them?

If I am going to take another master's degree, I will definitely study hard for it. Thanks for reminding me of the future.

@snowy22315 I am a late bloomer. I tend to be more active during my university days.

I am referring to either of the two. But it is better during college years.

I'm still studying up to this time. One thing is constant, I lack focus, but I will be able to regain that after sometime especially when the exams is fast approaching. In other words I am a crammer.

I used to be a crammer like you. But I do sometimes perfect the exams or quizzes for doing it.

Good you put your studies first Shavvie. In grade school was my best memory of discipline for 8 years of study. After that, I attended public school and had fun all the time as well as learning. I also had my first love. For a minute only

Nothing bad only looking haha

My wonderful teachers that asked me what happened to my grades when I started failing from problems at home.

I remember how they tried to help me.

I was studying in the times that we still respected rules and regulations. I am glad that I am not studying today.

It sucks when dealing with school rules and regulations. I am glad that I survived.

To me school was dreadful, inadequate, and a complete waste of time. Nothing I learned in school really benefited me at all. Most of what I have learned in life that is of value came outside of school and has proved THE most valuable education I could ever have.

Some of my teachers are lousy ones and I do not listen to them but read the books before going to classes instead.

I took my studies quite seriously.

I took a premed course but I had to shift after three years

Why the change of heart? My premed is PT. I did not pursue to be a doctor because of some constraints in life before.

I was then academically inclined and it was a success every time because I was always top 1 in the class even until graduation. I was the valedictorian of the class.

It is a good thing that you look up to your older sister. I do have some people that I wanted to be like them. With this matter, I was inspired by them
