The Median Student

The Median Student

The median student (not the average topper, not the average loser, but the average, average guy in any classroom) is a funny species. What goes through our minds is idiosyncratic to our kind and if you are not one, you cannot appreciate it. So this blog is dedicated to those of you who fall under the "Average Joe in class" category.

The first few days of a new year or semester are always interesting. Everyone is smiling. The average topper is thrilled with the prospects of being introduced to things he probably already knows.He sits in class with that annoying smirk which Alexander might have had on his face when he found out that the next kingdom he planned to conquer was ruled by the most honourable yet debile kings.

The average loser is smiling. Semesters don't matter to him. His is a case of bliss induced by ignorance. And he knows how to enjoy it. He knows that its going to be another semester of trying to learn things that he will not learn. Another semester of being in a trance in the classroom. He knows it's funny. And he smiles.

The median student is also smiling but it's an uncomfortable smile. I will tell you why. We are glad that the first few days will be spent on pointless things in class. New subjects will be introduced and basics will be run over. We feel like kings. "Hey! I know this!". We are happy that things seem easy. We are mildly happy that we may come across things that sounded so cool when others spoke about them. We know that we will be introduced to things we've probably only heard of. We know that we can cling to most of what's being said in class but we always need the "kind average topper's (an endangered species)" helping hand soon. We are worried that shortly we will write tests. Again, a time when we seem happy just before the test and disappointed soon after we start writing it (Of course the other groups are happy before and after). We know that "I think I'll do well this time" feeling too well to fall for it again. We know that we will punch the keys on calculators over and over thinking we have made mistakes in keying the number in.We believe that this semester is going to be different from all but we also know that the odds of that happening are pretty grim. We know it all.

It's not easy being the median student. It takes one to empathise. And I feel sorry for all my fellowmen. As for the rest of you...stay where you are. The grass IS greener there,,,,but as someone puts it .....the grass is greener on the both the sides..but i am sitting on the fence...

I Was Thinking The Other Day...

( Stumbled Upon This Quote Some Where....Incredibly True!!)

I was thinking the other day about how the most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time.
What do you get at the end of it? A death. What is that, a bonus?

Well... I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating...then you finish off as an orgasm!

... now that's a ride. ... oh yea!

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Well, I have Always Hated The Trimester Pattern At NMIMS and On One Fine Day, I Had Thought Of This Poem , Which I Finally Wrote;;;


Exams Have Come and passed

The Jugaad Can Never Last

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Like the Nerds We Never Pass

3 months Go Away So Fast

Wake Me up When Trimester Ends

Here Comes The Test Again

And the Prof Looks At Me In Disdain

Drenched in my Pain Again

Becoming What I Am Not

My Futile Attempt To Get The Answer

Makes Me Write All Crap

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Exams Have Come And Passed

The Jugaad Can Never Last

Wake Me up When Trimester Ends

Bring Out The Frolic Again

Like We Did When July Began

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

At Times I Feel The Loss

And All My Dreams Go For a Toss

Some Weeks Ago We Had The Fests

We Laughed So Much At All the Jests

Wake me Up When Trimester Ends

No No I Cant Recall

All That TCP,OSPF and EIGRP Shit

Ohh Thats What Created All The Rift

Wake me Up When Trimester Ends

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

P.S.

Trimester here refers to the 3 semesters a year pattern followed at NMIMS and Not the Trimesters of Pregnancies.

Currently me being in the 10 th Trimester ;;
