its been 7 years

i know i go through this about 3 times a year
and usually, before my birthday
but its been 7 years since i graduated MLC
7. fucking. years
7 years since:

- i had to share a bedroom
- i had to share a bathroom with 12 different girls
- i had to stop smoking out of the window, apparently we clogged the drainage
- i realised that taiwanese ppl and i do not get along
- that i could sorta interact if i needed to
- that i wasnt that flash in maths or economics
- that girls were my best friends and worst enemies all at the same time
- that we thought that life would be so much better if we didnt have to stay in a boarding house
- that i decided not to sit for my 5th paper in politics and draw smiley faces instead
- i gave rosebud absolute hell
- since i graduated school
- that we had amazing dreams of the man who we were going to be with, the jobs we were going to rule and the money we were going to make

and now, 7 years later...
we've made it past university and attained that sacred degree
we all have jobs that pay nothing
we all are trying to figure it all out
we're all thinking WHAT NOW?!

now that i think back, im still as confused as i was 7 years ago
with probably more things to think about
and worst of all, more things to be responsible for
oh my god
i dread to think what im going to be like 7 years from here
i'll be.....31 -_-
the anti wrinkle cream, the botox and the boob job are going to be much more of a reality

*hits head repeatedly on desk, whilst mix fm plays in the background, muttering "im living the dream, im living the dream..."*
