Ready to move on / out?

As the seniority in NTU getting higher, the university side will never and ever try to help you anymore in terms of getting hall(hostel is what we called in NTU)...
The distance point in the scheme for international students is deducted from year to year and so as seniors, we all have to find our way to move on (our life) or move out from the university.
But, the point is, due to this newly introduced policy, many of the students are not eager to join the ECA in university anymore. This is an adverse effect of what the university side expects to see---> more Singaporeans to join ECA and hall activities.
In fact, not all of them are actively participating in the activities. From what I saw from past two years, most of the international students were the one who always fought for the positions in the clubs and societies in order to get enough points to secure a room in campus.

Since the introduction of the new policy, all senior students (international) have to consider to move out of campus as not enough points gained and also they will not join any activities in year 3( as the homeworks and assignments loads are getting heavier ). However, from the point of view of a final year student, he or she might think that staying out of campus is  very inconvenient as they need to meet up their professors for Final Year Project.
It's not all the SAO(Student Affairs Office) 's fault when dealing with this kind of issue. Anyway, life moves on and moving out definitely not my choice....as I still want to enjoy the campus life more one more year..

你有想过要这样吗?

当一些不好的事情发生在你身上,你会怎么想?
你有想过要选择不相信别人了吗?尤其是你一路以来都那么信任的朋友?

心理学上,抗拒某些事物和人物是来自情绪管理不佳和阴影的关系。
你有过这样吗?

这几天,我都在灰色地带徘徊。看着每一件事物发生,都对我来说算不是很好。
朋友们都说ok的,但是有谁可以想到,每一件事情的背后都有它难理解的故事。

我觉得我越来越排斥人群了,尤其是比我小两batch的。不能不认地说,我已经脱离了他们的频率。
她有她的生活,我有我的方式,他有他的性格。

我还是那样执着,对不起。看着你开心,我也开心,那就好了。
不对吗?但是我还是依然的那么灰....
