studying is a chore

I have decided to skip school today and commit myself to studying for tomorrow's test. Studying is a chore. I have never enjoyed studying since i started school at the age of four and fourteen years later, I still hate studying. Although it is not as bad compared to the time when i was mugging for my o levels, it is still equally sick and tiring. I often find myself wondering if life is all about studying and getting good grades in order to keep up with society. Sometimes i feel that society is unfair. Indeed it is. They categorise us according to our grades ever since we were young. We are either categorise into EM1 which apparently is the best stream or EM2 which is the second best stream and lastly, EM3. Those students who got into EM3 will be in the normal technical stream when they enter secondary school. If they do not work hard enough, their future is somewhat doomed. Students who scored good grades for their PSLE will be able to enter into the express stream when they enter secondary school while students who scored average grades can only enter into normal academic. Isn't that unfair? Wouldn't students feel demoralised? In secondary school, I have learnt that students who are in the best class get better treatment, better teachers. I have learnt that students studying in prestigious schools get better chances of entering a good university and earn a higher paying job in future. This is why i am not surprised when i hear of students commiting suicide due to bad grades or students who turn mad and weird from over studying. Because society is pressurizing. It makes us feel that if we do not work hard enough, we will not be able to keep with the pace of living in this world and succeed. However, i often find myself procrastinating and not studying hard enough. Because i believe life is so much more than studying. It is always a moment of greed and plain laziness. Me wanting to do things i enjoy instead of things i should be doing. Sometimes, it was due to fatigueness. Anyhow, I have learnt that you reap what you sow. Effort and hard work will reap you good results. And now, back to studying.
