In the following, I do not talk about those who are actively on strike. Especially those who are spleeping in the streets, I admire their will of fighting fiercely for what they believe in.
As for the others (me), those who don’t do anything, who wouldn’t care whether there is a strike or not, well it’s the first Christmas of the year… without gifts, Santa Claus and the big tree, although I wonder if some people still have their Christmas lights and Christmas trees out.
Something surprised me earlier today, actually at this time, it’s more like yesterday afternoon. I was at a travel agency and this girl said that she graduated from university five years ago and she still didn’t pay off all her debts yet. I guess I was surprised because I didn’t know a situation like that exists. She made a good point saying that since she is still in debt, then it would take way more than five years for students who will graduate now or in the future to pay their debt.
There’s one thing right about the government though: a decision like going back on their steps can’t be done overnight. Maybe a deadline should be given to them, that way students can go back to school for about a month and then go back on strike again :P
