accepting it as it is

I've heard so many stories about the University, i should say
It is not all about fun as some people think
It requires so much discipline
so so sooo much of that
I guess i have to start accepting some things
Like........
well i can't believe a lecturer can just tell you " I'm gonna trail half of this class"
OMG
This is our life our future, our dream that we've had for so long and have spent sleepless nights working for.
what are we supposed to tell our parents, more importantly ourselves?
I really dunno what to say,
I've just come to the realisation that what you want is not exactly what someone else would want.
