With every busking movement happening in the hallways, the wide horizontal space was occupied by students ready to step forward into their career paths. Handling the pressure given to them and the expectations required from them, the students sacrificed sleep and personal time to accomplish papers worth of thousand words just for their professors to barely pass their thick layers reports. Countless of hours spent thriving to understand one subject because the professor decided to rely on a youtube video sucks for them.

But they have to lower their head and be accepting when it comes to these terms because in the world of college, you move the needle of your life. People outside of you won't push your dreams for you, No, you gotta push that cart of dreams and ambitions to the future you have because it all depends on you now. The professors are here not chasing after you, your the one chasing them because in their hands is the key to your job, your dream and your future.

Although not everyone in each department are the same as each professor varies depending on which department they stay at. Some can be angels sent by God to give grace and joy to students. While others are spawn from hell just to make you realize how real life works. Your mind will be in constant battles on how you will be able to handle the stress load of your schedule, your subject and your money in college.

Shit is not easy out here forever one because it needs sacrifices and shear will not to break down and do the unthinkable to yourself. You need to realize that grades doesn't really justify who you are as a person but rather your learning capacity and coping ability to new topics introduced to you. In real life, Grades wouldn't matter in work because here's the bottom line, both you and the smartest in your class will end up in thr same job, with the same salary and same shitty boss who will overwork both of you to hell.

But despite all this negative around college, you gotta look at the bright side of things. College is where you start doing an early investment when it comes to having connections. These kind of connection will be very beneficial in the long run because this will be your trump card-

"Hey! Mr. Rhodes Y/N, I'm expecting you to be early once since your uncle Cody is a hardworking Person in his career. Clearly your nothing like him."

The Sharp tone was very familiar to all Mechanical Eni student under the Building of Engineers in your University. Her glaze ever so sharp and snappy as you can literally see the resentment in her eyes just by looking at her. Adjusting her glasses up, you gulped in fear as she was the last person you wanna encounter in this giant place.

"Umm I-I just uhh....I went to to the bathroom! Yeah!"

"Bathroom? The men's bathroom is in the left direction you literally came from the right Mr. Rhodes."

It was kinda stupid for you to lie realizing why she's named Hawk eyes. One of the 3 nicknames given to her by students. Don't even try cheating in her quizzes and exam because if she catches you, Consider your university life ruin and in red stains because she will expose you and embarass you in the school disregarding your feelings. Which comes to her 2nd nickname Medusa. Once she stares at you, consider yourself frozen in fear and anxiety because just her look alone will make you rethink about all the mistakes you did in life and asking God for forgiveness.

"Well you know I'm not good with directions..."

"Of course you do. Just like how you don't understand simple instructions in my quizzes and exams"

Well that was a huge blow to your pride because you were guilty for not understanding her instructions in the first place. Some of her wording was just above to your understanding and sometimes you just gonna pray that a miracle happens and you get what she was asking. But oh boy, that is where her last nickname, the Ice Queen comes from. She's just this person who you can't even approach and she just have this look where she sees you nothing more than just a bug.
