Du Weldenvarden

My happiest realm belongs to the extensive forest Du Weldenvarden. This enchanting, inscrutable and mysterious piece of land full of magic and supernatural creatures is a place where I would love to spend the rest of my life. In deep shadows of this forest are hidden Elves – the immemorial and wisdom race. The elves could sing plants into growing into different shapes and patterns. Every house in Ellesmera, the ancient city hidden in the deepest part of the forest just between the most immense trees, was sung from a tree. This means that in winsome Du Weldenvarden everything is natural. Sunshine thrust its way through spreading tree crowns and these little rays of light illuminate diverse plants and creatures living in this forest. A bare eye can’t see even the smallest part of the forest because it’s so dense that it makes it almost impenetrable. It hides an incredible number of secrets. It’s the wildest and the most peaceful place at the same time. It would be breath-taking experience to spend some time in this forest in harmony with nature.

Fewer people should be encouraged to go to the university

Nowadays, most people go to the university because it is expected from them. This fact has created a new attitude to the university education – it’s no longer a privilege, now it’s a duty. But is it right to force all people to go to the university?

Some people may admit that all of us have a right to experience university education and have an access to the knowledge provided by universities. Moreover, they believe that graduates have a better opportunity to find well-paid jobs. But there are many reasons why we should reduce a number of people studying at universities.

To start with, universities can’t take every student who applies because there are only a limited number of places. And this means that university education should be provided only to the most suitable people for this type of education. Secondly, vocational courses can produce better employees because they teach the specific skills necessary for a particular job. And it’s logical for employers to employ people with professional experience instead of those who have only theoretical knowledge. Finally, students are sometimes forced through the university although it’s not right for them.  And if they don't fulfill all university requirements, they throw away three or more years of their lives and then without any degree have to start looking for a not so lucrative job.

In conclusion, only people with specific skills and a certain talent are suitable for studying at the university. And if you don’t belong to this group, don’t worry. You can take a vocational course and it’s possible that you’ll find a well-paid job sooner than a graduate from the university. All in all, I definitely agree with the idea that fewer people should be encouraged to go to the university.

Lost sleep - lost neurons

I’ve read the article about the loss of sleep. I think that it involves almost every student, so I decided to share this article. I can say that I sleep less than 6 hours per day during a regular working week and I think that it’s a quite average situation. Every night, when I go to the bed at one o’clock with the thought that I’m getting up at half past six in the morning, I’m promising myself that I can make it up at the weekend. Now I now that it’s wrong! As the article says – the brain isn’t as forgiving as we hoped. Basically, the article says that some researchers proved that lost sleep could mean los neurons and I think that no one can argue that neurons are quite important in our brain. It’s not certain if our brain can recover from neuron loss, and if it even matters, but I personally think that we don’t have as many neurons to kill them by not going to sleep. Moreover, it’s commonly known that if you take a good sleep, you’ll be fresher and your mind will be clear and bright. What I carry off this article? Sleep at least 8 hours per day and don’t study instead because it’s not worthy nor helpful!
