I finally understand why the suicide rates in Singapore are escalating at an alarming rate. I may not be an adolescent reaching the age of puberty, claiming that the "World is so goddamn unfair. Why should I live?!", or a psychologically challenged teenager who derives sadistic pleasure in slashing her wrists. Far from it. I love my family, friends, and perhaps...my life when it is not buried under piles of academic work.
Let me put it across nicely. I'm your average undergraduate who has survived for the past few weeks on 2 hours of sleep and red bull in order to finish off her seemingly insurmountable assignments. And I'm barely done. I have two more essays to go before my examinations start. My brain is overly saturated. I think I might explode any time now.
And the government wonders why youth these days are dropping off dead?
So help me lord, please give me the strength and perseverance to endure for another month till my term ends! I fear I may be losing it soon....
