3 Species of Students

The NERDS

These are the people who attend all lectures, read the topic to be taught in advance and do a daily follow up on the things taught and 'yaah of course' score the maximum in tests. I find a large chunk of them in my college. You notice this disguised expression on their faces when the exams are nearing 'like the we know it all expression'.And when you go to get notes from them,just one day before the exams they hand them over to you with a smile which clearly says 'buddy,you are doomed'. They are the once who are excited before the exam and come out gleeful and smiling after it .

The JACKS '50% NERDS - 50% BRATS'

I am sure a lot of us fall into this bracket, 'I surely do',we enjoy the best of the two worlds,we attend lectures and bunk too.But yes we are the once who run after people for notes,start stuidng one to two weeks before exams, get an above average score and fight the urges to go out and waste time'doing tp' when we know our priorities are something else.
From my personal experience I say, people like us are the most 'lost and confused' bunch cuaz we know our priorities but then also we end up doing nothing about them ,we are dragged more and more into wasting time and end up loosing focus. And when our senses finally come back to place that time we realise the time which has gone,which would never come back.

The BRATS
We also see a lot of brats in our college life, these are the so called 'popular' people who bunk lectures ,sit in the canteen all day doing nothing, exams are mere nothing to them,they brag about flunking ,they enjoy their college life to the fullest learning nothing at the end.They know nothing about the things happening around them and are mere 'frogs in a tank'.

I always wonder where do people land up after college, I guess the nerdy kinds pass out with flying colours and end Up with their dream jobs, the Jacks find their own place in the world,they either make their lives successful or are pulled down by the brats following their suit to 'no where'. After college ends 'the so called popular' people end up no where and become 'Zero's from Hero's' and I guess the nerds are the once who finally win in this race called life.
Cuaz at the end of the day, it all boils down to the numbers on your score card and the knowledge you have, with no credit to how popular you are.That's something I have learned.

Though I have written this, I myself need to realise some of the aforesaid points cuaz still my senses are at the wrong places and I need to get they back in place before its too late.I am having a hard time balancing academics and extra-curricular activities ,but I guess ill have to give up some to achieve my dreams.

Do ponder over the aforesaid and think where you stand with your lives.
Here's hoping to become a nerd someday 'soon'.

it all depends on how you position yourself once you are out of college. It doesn't make much of a difference if you are a nerd, a jack or a brat in college...I have seen people fm each of the above categories do well in life and people who have failed...thats what I have learnt..:(

A bunch of printed pages don't determine who you are. :)

uhm uhm
a very nerdy post indeed
i have seen life in all the categories
have been a nerd and then a jack
and at times(especially after my placement) have enjoyed the pleasures of being a brat
but i guess i am most suited to being a jack or rather a jill ;)
in my opinion nerds waste too much time on just studying and cramming and miss out on some of the other important things in life
and brats...well what can i say except that yes they do end up in messes big time

so here i am finally settled into the utterly confused yet (trust me!!) the most favourable state of being a jill :)
