the reel world

the reel world

If somebody tells you that you'd better finish your degree so that life could be easier, well, he's wrong.When you finish your degree, you'll be working, and when you are working, you'll never say life is easy.

I'm having my apprenticeship, and it says something about life.

For one, the real world wakes up early in the morning (dawn) and goes out of work at dusk. You'll never have the pleasure to indulge in a leisurely sleep.

Second, the real world expects the best. If you are not self-disciplined, you better get over it or you'll never survive it.

Third, the best days are student days. You'll get to just ask for money and it's there. When you work, you sweat blood and you still get the minimum wage. The money you earn for a day's worth of toil is just equal to your dunkin' donuts merienda.

Fourth, the real world don't get to have a morning and afternoon merienda. You'd rather save it or you'll starve for the rest of the month.

Fifth, the real work is serious. No horse plays or you're eat what the horses eat.

Forgive me, just thinking out loud about the harsh realities.

The harsh realities that are true.
