hi mylotters! i know that being student is a great gift from god , and that we should enjoy that period of our lifes with every breath , but honnestly i don't enjoy it at all , i know that it's big mistake , because those moments give us the opportunities to find new friends , make some stupid and crazy things , draw a big smile of the face of someone , laugh without thinking about any of our sorrows and the most important is to fix our beleifs and goals and start echeiving it !! so what do you think ? do/did you enjoy that period? what did you do to enjoy it ? thank you have a nice day

The student life is what we make it. There are times where when we were students, we get the absolute most out of the situation. I think that taking classes that will get the most benefit is good and it is a time where we are mostly innocent. I did say mostly. Because innocence is never something that is absolute with any person right in the world. I think that I enjoyed it. Of course there were drawbacks and should I ever had the chance to dial back the hands of fate and turn around, I will remember why I was glad to see the back of it many times. But it is a time where it is most certainly a more innocent nature of life. That gets lost and we long for a more innocent time. We never appreciate what we have until it is gone.

i enjoy the school a lot. this is where i find friends. this is the place where i hangout. in school we don't need to pay 100% of our attention to class. give a part of it to enjoy yourselves :). and also having a good grades made me enjoy being a student :). LOL

Hello, There were parts of my student days that would rate up there as the best of my life but there have been many days/weeks/months since that were equally enjoyable. However there were days during my studenthood that were the worst of my life (yet - I hope of all time!). I found studenthood a real roller coaster and my friends and I have agreed since studenthood the amplitude of emotions is much less - everything is a much more even keel so to speak. Studenthood can be very isolating and lonely. My best advice would be to join a club (my experience was with sports clubs but I'm sure other types of clubs/societies are just as good. If all else fails - just remember why you are there and immerse yourself in the joy of the subject that you are studying - go to the library and read a book.

try working and do that alone, u'll surely feel the importance or the fun that ur missing when ur studying hehe.. When i was still in the university, im so excited to get over schooling and start earning but first year in the real world is kinda hard to deal when u start paying everythng with ur own money. Anyway, i can say i did hav good times as a student. I wasnt able to try everything but i guess i had enough. :)

You can enjoy being a student if you can fulfill your responsibility as a student. If you are happy at school, this means that you are enjoying yourself. When you are addicted to playing truant. You will get a lot of problems. If you have problems as a student, you can be happy.

When I was a student I hate it. I really hate it because of school works to be done and because of the pressure that is being thrown to us during our school days. But, to be a student is really so awesome, just like what you said there are so many opportunities. Enjoying your student years depends on you. It's all about on how you are going to choose the right choice. If you think that learning would be fun, then it would make you happy. Although I'm not a student anymore, I still consider myself as a student. I am student of Life.

yes, i believe that being a student is a part of our lives where we could have one of the best moments in our lives. the growing up years and the freedom that we could enjoy. less responsibilities and the fun with friends and groups could bring us to new heights of appreciation of life. during my student years, i definitely had the time of my life.

I enjoyed my time as a student. I found some close friends in my class and we studied together and spent a lot of time together. When I was a student I lived in an apartment and on the second floor there were two apartments. I lived in one of those apartments and the tenant in the other apartment was a girl about my age. We became friends and spent almost every day together. My friends were one of the reasons why I enjoyed my time as a student, we had a lot of fun together. I also found most of the lessons interesting, and I was able to use the things that I learned in my part-time job. I had to study a lot during the week, but I didn't really mind, because I found most of it interesting. In the weekends I had fun with my friends. It was a very happy period in my life. I don't know if it was the best period, but it was definately a very happy period.
