Essay 2-3a: “Unpredictable Future University Life and Now”

Do you enjoy your university life? I’ll tell you about my university life now and in 25 years from now. I’m enjoying my university life now. So I’ll tell about that. And I want the university to develop more. So I’ll also tell you about all the things I imagined.

First, I’ll tell you about now university life. And I’ll tell you in terms of learning. I’m learning English in my university. And I interested in different culture between foreign countries. So I took the class which is “different culture understand theory”. There are many countries and religions and cultures. So this class is very interesting for me. Beyond that, I took psychology and environment theory. I’m enjoying learning about that. But In January, I have to take many examinations. It’s so hard but I’ll do my best. Then I’m going to stay with family in Australia. I’m looking forward to go there because I’ve never go abroad. Thus, there are many programs such as studying abroad in my university. I’ll take advantage of there programs.

I’ll tell you in terms of facility. I introduce my favorite place. When I felt hungry, I often go to bakery in 12 building. There are many kind of bread in there. If you go to there at lunch time, you may eat hot breads. And I enjoy talking there with my friends. The 14 building is also my favorite place. There are many computers in there. So when I work on assignment, I’m always in the 14 building. It’s comfortable for me to do assignment there. And I also like library. My university library is very quiet so I can concentrate on doing assignments. And there are many books in English. So I often borrow it to do assignments. They can watch films in library. So when I have no class, I sometimes go to library to watch films.

Second, I’ll tell you about university life in 25 years. And I’ll tell you in terms of learning in 25 years. I imagine most of students are not in university. They can attend a lecture in their house. In other words, they can take a lecture through their monitor. Professors have to record their lecture. And students watch recorded monitor. So they can take a lecture whenever they want to take it. I think that way is very convenience for students and professors. And there isn’t examination. They can get credits if they submit their assignments only.

I’ll tell you in terms of facility in 25 years. I hope that university’s parking area became larger than now. Now we have to pay money to park our car. But in 25 years, we will make use of it for free. And bakery in 25 years will be improved more and more. I imagine students make breads and eat them. Bakery will become self-service bakery! But it is difficult for me to make breads. So a few bread is selling. And there will be student hotel in 25 years. They can stay there and enjoy everything more then now.

Did you enjoy my future university life? This is just imagination. It was fun imagining future university life. But I like my university now. When 25 years passed, I hope I could feel dear my university life and friends.
