Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

The first day of any school usually starts off with a prominent ice-breaking session. It hasn't gotten anything to do with breaking ice or anything like that; more or less like an acquaintanceship session, although the ironic understanding of ice-breaking would've made the whole session seem a whole bunch funner. But, yeah most schools begin with such session so students would not feel lonesome or alienated once the school program commences. Such sessions are usually intended for the learners so that they may feel secure enough going to that specific educational institution. All in all, ice-breaking sessions usually work out well for many but there are still a handful of students that still find it a better option to resort to solitariness. Sad to say, I am one of those who still prefer to work with myself than to do so with the many Jacks who attend school. Resorting to solitary confinement rather than social freedom wasn't something that I intended to do at first; its also not that I'm training to become an espionage of a secret spy society or anything like that. But the irony of being rendered a job as one would not be that bad as it would land me a lucrative sum of money. Its just that the fear of mixing with the wrong clan encompasses my mind during these sort of circumstances.

Social problems and bad ethics are at rise in today's society. These unpleasant behavioral aspects of an individuals life is usually caused by peer pressure. Peer pressure is so deadly, that it can emulsify a saint into a devil and a law abiding citizen into a covenant breaker. This can be regarded as one of the many arsenal of weapons that Satan possesses to destroy the every moral value that a pious person acquires. Well this is just a rough picture of what could happen if you get hooked with the wrong colleagues of your academic institution. Technically, I'm not preaching you guys to live a 'Cougar like' lifestyle, its just that be cautious when you make new friends. They may look pleasant at first but, don't always judge a book by its cover. The thought of such just makes me shudder at times. Nonetheless, I still try to make loads of friends with the necessary precautionary steps that are needed. However, the feeling that emblems you while you're making new friends is indescribable really. There's this sort of joy that arouses within you when you make new acquaintances. After all, we are not made to live a solitary life but the contrary. Taking precautions is just a norm to ensure a long lasting, productive, meaningful and beneficial friendship.
