Final Year

I'm two weeks into my final year and let's just say that it has been a bit hectic. See, my final year law subjects are all optional and after selecting the modules we are given 2 weeks to change it. Now the thing is that during these two weeks we can attend any lectures that we want in order to get the  feel of it. However, let me tell you that it was no help at all, because initially all modules seems easy but then half way through it, it starts to get really tough. So after two week of contemplation just (and not to mention much thought) I finally selected the modules that I wanted and now I just hope that i made the right decisions.

The daunting mornings in which I had to drag myself out of the bed just to get to lectures on time (even though I always get to my lecture 15 minutes late), the mammoth reading that had to be done. A law students life is not easy but it does provide you with a great set of skills, which I have no doubt will come in handy. While I'm glad for all these reasons and more there is still a part of me that is a bit sad. End of law school means I meet the friends that I made on a daily basis and I have to say that I think I met my true friends in college rather than school. I...

Higher Education : A Cause for Concern?

It is no secret that the requirements to gain entrance into a higher educational institutions is becoming stringent by the day and in a bid to get better education students often spend considerable time of their day trying to cram in studies to ensure they have the ideal scores. Disappointment hits when students realize that sometime their best is just isn't good enough, specially when it come to the more competitive schools in which they seek admission. This often lead to a deterioration in their self confidence specially in a scenario where a student has applied to top schools and having been rejected by all of them, while the student's scores would still be deemed to be very good. Obviously this high level of competition lead to rise of the number of students who have extremely good results which in turn means that universities and schools alike have to increase the admission requirements as there is only a limited number of places available. It is economics at its most ...
