...why is it again that I give a shit?

Ever had one of those days where you just feel "you know what, having dreams and ambitions is just too hard. I think I might just become a shiftless bum instead, its so much easier"? Well I've been having one of those YEARS. I just can't find a good reason to give a flying rat's ass about...well...anything

That's certainly true. I managed to stay ahead of the curve with my academic grades, however I didn't graduate because I failed to find anywhere suitable to do my work experience. There were many times I felt like giving up and writing off the 5 1/2 years of my life I spent studying and just work in a sales/tech job. I some how managed to keep looking until eventually I managed to get into the position im in now. And it was through someone I knew that I got the job, so getting to know people in the industry, even if they're only students at the current time, is important.

I was very shy and quiet in school so I'm not sure how I managed it, but in first year I found myself part of a group of friends who all had various strength, and we all helped each other out through out our common subjects. Although there was a small amount of 'collusion' mostly it was about keeping track of assignment dates, knowing who the best tutors were and helping each other study. Someone who's just learnt something themselves can often be the best person to explain it to someone else. You have many learning resources at uni such as lectures, tutorials and textbooks, but your fellow students can be one of the best ones.
