College Years' Chronology

Some say we shouldn't stick ourselves to the past. But I think Past is what determined the present and hence you will have no future without it. Therefore, I will try as best as I can to classify and make them into words. Something may be missed out though because of the time. That's also the reason why I am doing this. My memory is fading, I should record them while I still can. I will use pen name for my friends' names, to protect their privacy lol

Year 1 - Semester 1
First Week - Thanks to some of my friends here. They asked me to join the group and thus my uneasiness in new environment is gone. Later, they are gone and I don't really have chance to contact them. I will miss you always.
Third Week - One guy came and used the microphone to interview people all over the tutorial room! Such a unique way for ice breaking session.
Forth Week - Saw the microphone guy eating dinner alone. So, I decided to join him. This marked the change in my history. Nice to meet you CL.
Fifth Week - Laboratory session has started. CL introduced me to another friend. He is a computer freak and straight forward to the hell. Glad to meet you KV.
Uncertain - We three became good friends. I was pissed of by one of CL's old friend, an artistic long hair guy reading comics [Japanese Manga]. He seems not to care about everything. Finally, I hijacked him and we became friend. CM is his name.

Time flew by. I met more people. Some I like and some I don't. This is the same as others. Students seem to start hanging out in group which means they are separated and some group may not like others. I helped KV in his arranged freshmen sports game. He was once president candidate but later quit to became veteran Computer Nerd lol. Meet few cute girls here and decided to go with one.

Year 1 - Semester 2
Everything went on. Except for one. By believing some bad words and using my brain more than my feeling I hurt two people. One is the girl I ignore and the other is one of my best friend CL. Really, thinking of it now make me feel really stupid. It is my worst move ever and probably most regret thing I have done during my University years. I quit being with CL's Buddhism club and later join their former enemy's club - Christian club. Well, talking about this, I think religious and politic causes more enemies than friends. I am right now see no point in people separating themselves by those ethics. It is plainly STUPID. I join one to be with my friend and quit to make him sad. Hm, maybe I am more stupid. Anyway later, we have sorted this out. But it's like wound. It healed but you know it happened.

Year 2 - Semester 1
medal receiving ceremony - Never imagined fucking guy like me got the award. Have chance to talk with one of my later best friend LKC. I saw him during first year but never really talked to him. At this point, I was still thinking of him as a good boy who was studying hard.
The Rest - Nothing more here. CL hangs out with other guys in the department because of our incident. (We started to separate into departments according to our own chosen major during second year) I was not happy at all during this time. Other important thing is that I moved to live with my new roommate who was CL's ex roommate. His name is PT. We are good friend afterward. I also tried to have some relationship with the one PT suggested. In the end, it did not go well. I was drinking like crazy here.

Year 2 - Semester 2
Not much was going on here. I was never happy during this time. Lots of bad things happen to me and my friends. CM had to stop coming to school due to his sickness. My friends got problem with their couples. Classes were boring. No incentive to study anymore. During summer I became monks for almost two months (It's Thai culture to become monk at least once a life time) hoping for the better future ahead.

Year 3 - Semester 1
Try to get along with other people in the department. Classes were not boring But they were hell. I would ditch the class every time I had a chance. I think I was really confuse here. No point, no goal and no inspiration. I think I also developed bad temper during this time. CM was back and he helped me trying to impress girl which I later think that I was stupid. I really wondered where I went wrong in my university life.

Year 3 - Semester 2
This is the hardest semester ever. Part of it is because I completely lost interest in studying. Work load for this semester was heavy. It was like 6-7 projects to complete before exam. Anyway I spent more time with friends in department and our relationship strengthened. Thanks to those damned project. We started to ditch class together to play game [DoTA to be precised]. We sometimes played it during class with Laptops. What are you gonna do if 80% of your students in class are gone! During Summer, I went to Japan for job training (My first time there). It was unforgettable experience for me. It made me like Japan and strengthened my friendship level with LKC and LCH (LKC's roommate) which finally turned into an unbreakable bond. [Hey, we are not gay, Ok?]

Year 4
My Final Year - My final year in college was full of crazy thing. Our friendship has been firmly established. We would ditch classes to hang out or sneaked to prohibited places in campus. I've already sorted everything out points, goals and solutions. Thanks to my friends during this hard time LKC and LCH, we only knows each other for few years but it's like life time for me. Our meeting produced every solutions we would ever need.

I will always remember crazy days with bunch of my friends. The days we had conflict but resolved into further understanding. The day I was caught by directer coz of improper dressing after I just applied for his recommendation letter. The day of my little retaliation by taking phot of myself smoking in front of his room. From those events I was slowly growing. I learned that pain can give experience and everything is not always like what we hope. I learned that time can change people. I learned that everyone has more than one side. Most important of all, I am proud that my college has brought me the meaning and importance of friendship. Our bond lasts forever.

Get to know yourself

Learned this from my friend's post in facebook. So, I tried and found it quite amazingly accurate.

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
