Mentality

It is a sad sad world that I am living in. People here have got pretty screwed up mentality. I wonder how are we, the future generation and leaders are going to make this world a better place. I will be thankful enough if they (we), will try their best to not make this world a worse place than it already is.

What do you expect in a university student? I expect them to be civilised and well groomed in manners. What response do I get? A majority of barbaric stone-aged bunch of homo sapiens. I will not be embarrassed even at the slightest to reveal these ruthless acts. Pray that you don’t have any heart problems.

Lets do it the ladies first. Here we share common bathroom and toilet cause we live in a jam-packed room that leaves a little space for movement purposes. Since I abide the rules of entering the right toilet, I can only reveal the ladies’ to you. People here doesn’t know how to use the sanitary bins. They try to flush their used sanitary pads down the toilet. Worst still the Uni didn’t provide enough bins and the bins are not cleared once it is full. Therefore the sight of overflowing sanitary bins is at sight. However, there are more vacant bins over the toilet in the opposite which is currently not working due to the unavailability of water supply for who knows what the reason is. It happens all the time and even to the extend that only one block out of four have water supply. Going out of topic again.

Toilet tales… Sometimes the ladies even pre-reserve their bathing sessions. How? Simply by hanging their towels and apparels on the door and go missing in action while the queue multiply. What kind of mentality is this? Grab while you can? On another note, the washbasins here are multipurpose as we brush our teeth, wash our faces, hands, cups, plates, bowls and yes even leg. The leg part is due to religious practices as the Muslims need to clean themselves before praying. There are some who love to clog the washbasins with their food and never bothers to clean the basins after using it. Imagine washbasins filled with water and rotten food. Disgusting? Not only one but sometimes a few. This is the future generation we are generating? Poor world, you are in darkness.

Enough about that. When it comes to transportation, we rely solely on buses for my hostel is far from the academic ground. Here people cut queue and push others so that they will get the seat. It is like a warfare that we are in. The people rush and squeeze themselves in pushing others away and cutting queue. Both men and women do the same. It is really barbaric. Sad isn’t it? Even getting in to class is the same. Worst still, some people have a fetish over their possessions and therefore reserve seats for their things and let others wander off without a proper seat. This is life in uni. A barbaric and brutal environment. I guess this is what you get in a ‘dog eat dog world’?

It is a sad tragedy isn’t it? The mentality of these people are awfully wrong. That is in my point of view. So much for education yet none for mentality. Whats the point to be able to remember all the historical chronologies when you can’t even behave like a civilised person. Does a First Class Honours in a degree cultivate a First Class Honours mentality? Think again.
