Keep It Simple.

Someone told me life is boring. It's always sleeping, eating, studying... he wants a change from the "daily routines", something new. He offered the solution he came up with - to go aboard.

The first thing that flashed through my mind was, "What am I left with?" All other great friends have gone abroad, many are leaving in matter of months, and who would I be left with? My tank of fish?

Honestly I don't really understand why "daily routines" are so bad. He said that his relative told him studying aboard is much more fun, social and whatever. Gets me thinking - isn't that still a daily routine?

"Daily routine" seems like.... daily. No matter where you go, it's still the same thing. At least that goes for me: Reading, writing, drawing, sleeping, eating and whatever. Perhaps studying aboard gives an even busier routine, now that it is filled with socializing and whatsoever, according to my friend.

They say studying in the UK is better, with more friends and more new stuff "waiting for you". Doesn't that occupy more time? Doesn't that make one's life busier? Is that a good option? Not to me. I'm busy enough with school around.

Perhaps I'd like to quote another friend's words:

"Keep it simple."

That's pretty true. Keep things simple and life would be good. Why make things complex?

Recently is the school's Student Council election. One cabinet used the slogan "Vote for (name of cabinet), vote for change". Another was "Spark and Innovate." Obviously the former wanted to change, change and change more, perhaps turn the school upside down. The other just wanted to improve the current systems and make life easier. Many voted for the former, I didn't.

Changes. Something that seemed good to all human beings. But clever, or typical, rulers always exaggerate the benefits of these "changes", when after all the change wouldn't be so "grand". On the other hand, they claim that people need to pay little to achieve the change. President Obama wanted to change the USA, he first introduced the medical reform, many objections raised - but did these protesters vote for Obama during the election? Didn't they want change, too? Looks like it isn't that easy.

So all I would say.... the biggest change is not to change. Just improve what we have, why introduce so many new stuff?
