- From First Year to Final. We Learn from Our Seniors.
Saturday, November 1, 2014
So , let me tell you a thing. There are 3 types seniors you will meet in college. The first one are those who comes clean after each semester, I call them "The Worms". They do their degree in Honors. They help Juniors with the notes, tips and tricks.
The second type are the one who are little out of tracks. Have knowledge about subjects but only the amount they need in future. No more no less.
These are little random people. I call them "The Dreamers". These people sometime will tell you to have fun , and sometimes the basic things about how to survive out in the world, just not by helping with your exams but other activities too. At last there is the third kind in this. The One who don't give a damn about the Degree. They will always tell you to relax. According to them, Everything is well planned. These are "Mocking Birds". Evey year, the "Lot" gets divided into these three groups. Every group hates the other. If you don't like this post upto this, you should leave now because things will get ugly fast.
When we step in college, its totally different Environment for all. Fresher won't look at college to know how it is, they look at the Seniors.They envy, adopt and follow their seniors. But , maximum time in college the relation between seniors and juniors becomes casual. Juniors hangs out with the seniors, they eat together and they even live together. This causes mutual disrespect(casually) for all the other seniors. It creates a casual behavior of Juniors towards Seniors.
In my case , when I was in First year , many times some of the seniors went to each and every class. What they say is to greet them with "Sir" and wish them "Good Morning / Good Evening". They Demand this in such a way that it just look like a Request. But , its actually called "Begging".
You can't Beg for Respect ! What you getting from this is not Respect. You have to earn it. The best people and best seniors you will met in your college who don't do things like these. If you got treated bad when you were a junior, you will carry on the same legacy, doing the same to your Juniors.
I just want to say, do something that they should respect you. Help everyone. Help juniors by telling them the mistakes you've done at time when you were at their place. If you are Junior , Respect those who are worthy. By writing this I didn't mean to disrespect anyone. Hope you will like it.
