though the clarity is vague, I will figure this out

Yes, you can say, its part and parcel of being a design student.
And you have to learn to take all those blows that come to you, but I couldn’t take it.
The stress and what not.
And how people under estimate how packed/busy we are with projects after projects.
Sure, we have no exams to study for, but could you do the work that we do daily?
Can you sit down and draw concepts after concepts?
Squeeze your brain out just cause you need ideas to do sth?
Can you push yourself through sleepless nights just cause mid-crit or submition is the next day? Are you able to fork out money without any questions?
Are you able to to think quick on your feet and defend your designs?
Sure we have more holidays then you, but we go through 18 weeks of sleepless nights.
Non-existent weekends.
And spend money on printing random pieces of “inspirations”.
You think you have what it takes to be a design student?
Think thrice before committing yourself.

Stop thinking that design students do not get stress, please. Don't you dare say "You all no exams what, why so stress." Screw you. It's because we don't have exams, why we have so much overwhelming work. Projects are up to our necks, until we get confused over which is which.We spend every late night working on them, sometimes even to the point where we cry in frustration. Believe it.

So for the last time, don't think that you have more work than us just because we don't have exams. Don't give the face when we can't go out because we choose to stay home and work on our projects. Don't complain, because you don't know.

Need i say more.? we're not that lepak as you think we are. but thats the thing. the most top jc student would have panic their heads off by now being in our shoes. but of course being the designers we are. we still have time to have fun. and yes fun is the keyword. that separates 'us' from 'them'.
