Alright so I just read Steady Study and thought wow how could a manga relate to me so well?? I was what everyone in class considered as a smart kid and yet I failed the uni entrance exam last year. And then I read this manga and was close to crying cause damn I'm so depressed. This year I finally got accepted at one of the prestigious uni in my country, studying economics (a subject I somewhat don't like), just because I desperately wanted to go to uni and made my parents proud. In order to achieve that I abandoned my social life like hanging out with friends or just go crazy on social media. I focused on my study for four years and I don't have anything to show on my CV other than my academic record. Now this manga makes me think like well that's true, academic record doesn't mean anything in work field, they value experience more than academic, and that makes me regretting all the things I've done now.

Damnit I'm getting sentimental.

    same... though i actually had extra-curriculars in college, it's too little compared to the other high-achieving people in my class.. plus, i'm an awkward person, and i don't do well at interviews... it sucks because i know i can do well, but not being given the chance is really hard... ╥﹏╥
