I did not sign up for this education style

My mid exam crisis thoughts:

Why am i studying for Management Accounting when i don't like accounting at all and don't plan to take on any financial or accounting job roles in the future?!?!

Sure, i find it interesting that i get to learn something other than the the rest of the modules i am required to take but what really turns me off in my whole learning journey is this really bad bad word - Exam. But why am i still doing the exam thing?

1) Because of expectations. If anyone around me didn't care about the grade i am getting i would not be so stressed over exams. All this stress is rather unnecessary and i do not like it one bit. I would study for subjects i like and well for the others...

2) My curriculum is catered in such a way that there are certain modules that i cannot fail no matter how bad i am at it because failure would mean that one has to re-take that module all over again. Oh the nightmare.

Why can't we just learn stuff, do up projects that actually allow us to implement our knowledge, have quizzes here and there just to help the learning to settle in better...and get rid of the EOY exam thing? I mean honestly i don't remember much of the things i've learnt e.g. Analytical Skills, Marketing, Financial Accounting, Finance. The things that i do remember are from Management Communication, the way i should bring across good news, bad news, the way i should craft emails(i do use the learning points taught every now and then). Also, i've learnt this module called Computer as an Analysis Tool and honestly, it's one of the most useful and interesting classes i've experienced so far. (Basically they teach you how to meddle with cool excel formulas and functions)

Sigh honestly don't know what i've gotten myself into. Should have researched for a much better education system out there and go ahead with that rather than being brainwashed and mindlessly persuaded by all these pro-local-university people.

If you are a person who seem pretty happy-go-lucky and has priority over finding your own joy as compared to getting good grades, good degree, high paying job, big house...you get the deal... I have a HUGE advice for you that may be the best advice ever existed at this point of time when you are choosing your higher education: DO NOT jump onto this bandwagon and find another better style of education!!! Which probably means an overseas university which is well known and expensive and if you do not have the required funding to go ahead with the uni of your choice? Well...suck your thumb, get prepared for unnecessary stress and create a blog just like i did to rant everything out AND... go back to studying T_T

The last line made me cry
