I wanted to write about this topic long time ago, but I dunno why I always keep procrastinating, I think I should join the procrastinators club!

Anyway, as a 4th year student in the engineering school of JUST, I think I’ve tried almost everything a student could do, except those red lines, if you know what I mean.

In Irbid city, you will have a typical student life, specially if you are living with roommates from Yarmouk university, where studying is their last priority. I don’t blame them at all, because they are victims of the trash system we have.

A typical student day:

First you wake up, probably at 10:00 am if you’re lucky, oh sure you’ve missed the 8:00 am lecture, now you should get dressed, which is not an easy job at all! you must start looking for the “cleanest” piece you have, and you might waste at least 20 minutes searching for you clothes everywhere, and It’s so damn hard to remeber where did you throw your cloths last time. Eventually, you will get dressed, then you will go down the street, looking for the nearset bicycle guy who sells the cheapest coffee in the street, light your “Viceroy” cigarette or Vaysoory as the Egyptian grocery guy call it, and then head to your “great” campus.

Let’s skip the daytime for now, and jump to the point where you come back home, probably at 5:00 pm. Now you will eat at some restaurant, since cooking is the last thing the world you want to learn, and Ugh, I need at least two posts to speak about the restaurants here, let’s skip it now!

Now it’s 7:00 pm, and you have nothing to do ! I mean really nothing! There’s no decent place to do any decent activity at, and even if such place exist, you will not have enough money to afford! so the typical thing to is to go and spend the night with the other (losers) collegues.

Then the interesting conversations begin! I’ll give you some examples of our extremely unproductive self-destructing conversations. Some guys act as teenage drama queens, they keep speaking about girls, and how cute are these girls, and bla bla… and you will have to listen to the same shit everyday, EVERYDAY, for 5 years.!
Others are sexually freaks, they are always speaking about sex, they can be funny, but It’s getting disgusting sometimes. What annoys me the most are those guys whom are always complaining!! either from their bad grades or from their miserable out-of-target lives…

Well nothing really interesting in the conversations we have, you get bored quickly, so then comes the so-called “Shi Sha” or Hubble Bubble or Hooka, It’s really important when you have nothing important to talk about, and you need something to do except looking at each others. This Shi Sha thingy is really bad, It’s more dangerous than smoking, and It’s a main cause of cancer, and It’s a waste of time and money! and It became one major part of any student life. I can’t imagine that I smoke Shi Sha with an average 6 times per month, which sux! my whole life I was an Athlete, I’ve always loved GYM, and I was a damn good ping pong player, great soccer player, and an impressive swimmer, now Im a lazy smoker! Don’t blame me, here we have nothing to do, but studying and smoking.

PS: Im not a smoker, I smoke shi sha ocassionaly.

Oh I beleive I’ve critiqued girls for smoking shi sha, I think Im not anymore…
