A.Pause.
If you ever worry about not ever growing up, I assure you will. Especially when you start working. It's either you grow up or you can swim in the swamp.
You find that some people are really just a child, stuck in a adult's body. It doesn't matter what credentials you hold and from whichever prestigious university you graduated from. If you don't ever grow up, you're just going to end up making a lot of people's lives a living nightmare. You would be the worst consequence to hit your work place. Best part of all, this kind of people think that they're being the greatest gift to mankind.
Resultantly, the monster you never knew existed, is brought to life from within you. You start exuding flames of rage. Of course, you can choose to be indifferent to all that happens around you. But it is difficult.
If you thought studying was a distraction to life, let me assure you, work will be of an even greater distraction.
Many of my colleagues end up either couch-potato-ing every night watching endless episodes of action and drama series or just zombifying in front of the computer, finishing up more of the much dreaded 4-letter-word ( in case you're blur, it's w.o.r.k.). That is how they maintain their sanity.
I, on the other hand, have been finding.my.way.
But I find that I treasure my time so much more now. You never really realize the gift of time until you start working. I am so grateful just for that few hours every night.
Otherwise, life has been good 'coz God is good in every single way, every single day, come what may.
