Everyone working, I will say something you might not like;
Being a student CAN be hard. The only thing is, when you work (in the mainstream use of the word) there’s someone who will kick your ass when you don’t (work that is). Which is exactly what makes it hard being a student. There’s no one who will, and if ‘they’ try, you’re not very likely to give a flying fuck. Of course being a student is a very relaxed way of living, you don’t have very filled days, classes are more of an inter-social happening than a ‘must’ and next to that, you don’t have all too much ‘responsibilities’.
But, then you have to write your thesis. There’s this gap of, hey, we want you to do this 15,000 word paper, we give you until June, report back to us every now and again, good luck. When you actually HAVE until June that’s cool I guess, I mean you won’t notice ‘pressure’ (which is completely self-created, I am aware) until June. But when you (hey, here I am) give yourself to the end of Febuari, things start to look pressured around the 12th of Febuary. You find out that, you still need to write your literature review (and kinda still need to read some of it too), are not too sure where it’s all moving towards, but you do have an interview with Richard Branson, but you doubt whether they’ll let you pass on that alone (must admit, haven’t tried it).
My thesis is on Corporate Social Responsibility and whether it could strengthen customer relationships. I think it’s an interesting study and I will inform you guys here on what the outcome will be.
Anyway, only reason for this post is: PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY and help a self-pressurised student out!
Much appreciated!
Peace & Love,
Len
Already took the survery. Good luck mate.
Took your survey.
Must say I’m terrified of the idea of writing my thesis exactly because I’ll be my own boss. :/
Good luck!
