5th year syndrome

Something I observed quickly when I came to Uni was that the 5th years were so distant.
They were not happy it seemed like. They never spoke to anyone and if they did it was very formal.
They didn't joke around and it seemed like they really tried to suppress that kid inside of them whilst trying to look really important.

It's a fact that after five years of Uni you're probably very tired of studying and so on but I think there is another factor to it.

The University is trying to develop a proffessional side to you and that is just great. I agree that it is super important to have that professional side. But I do think that many people lose the other side of life, the fun relaxed side. 
Many people form strong opinions and they become very sure of themselves and a bit closed minded but in my view they are just building their own prison. I think this is a shame and I don't think this applies to just Chiropractic, I've heard that Law is supposedly really bad, yuck!

We study for five years and learn heaps of stuff but if the person can't enjoy life after Uni something is just not right. I think it has something to do with the fact that people feel that from now on they can not risk looking like a fool. It's a shame because then you fit in and feed to the illusion that to get somewhere you have to look and act important and work long days and never enjoy yourself. 

That is bad, studying for 5 years is something we should be proud over and subsequently we should be role-models to younger people. Show them that you can work hard AND have lots of fun and relax.

Aww shit, no more toilet paper...
