The University Life

Step 1: Choose a course in a university of your choice

Step 2: RUN!!!!!

When I say this, I really mean it. You are going to be tired and you are going to be exhausted that you want to just break down and cry. Trust me. I felt that way. I am not trying to put you down on the idea of a university. I am just warning you that it is going to be hard but it is worth it!

I was very lucky to have met the best group of friends and honestly I never knew I could be so close to a group of people as much as I do in less than a month. Our times together makes all the hardship of our daily uni life be entertained with humour and of course laughter. It is hard for us to meet up with all of us being together as we all do different courses in different faculties but the times we do, I CHERISH THEM!!!!

Now, 2 months into uni, life is getting tougher. We are tired 24/7. Lack of sleep. LIKE SERIOUS LACK OF SLEEP!!! But I remind myself that it is just one step towards my life dreams and it is not going to go as a waste.

Just remember that in this race, there's no top 3. It's winning or losing. Pass the finish line and you win! You don't need to sprint. It is a marathon. Be slow and steady. You do not want to faint in the middle of the race.

Step 3: Surviving
Last week was a tough week for me. I was thinking a lot. Am I doing the right thing? The answer is yes and no. Yes, I am where I am supposed to be and doing what I was meant to be doing. No, I might not be doing the exact right thing based on my actions. My parents and my sister tells me I need more rest but I keep pushing myself telling myself I can go just a little further. Maybe I can't. I need my rest. I need my break. A week ago, I sat down with a friend of mine by the lake and we talked. We discussed why I was doing this. He reminded me that my main goal was to be happy and made me think about what I was doing. Was it right? Was it good for me? How is this going to affect me in a long run? IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? Thanks for doing that and making me get back on my track that I was slowly going away from. A week later, I now am happy to say I learned something from that night. To know my limit. A day can't change a whole lot but it is part of the change. Take baby steps. Don't try to run when you can barely walk. You will get the hang out of it soon but do not overdo yourself. Don't kill yourself before the shit gets real cuz the shit gets real later but by then you will learn to fight stronger than ever. It is okay if you are not strong now as long as you are learning to be stronger!

Step 4: It is yet to come.

I am only halfway through my first semester. A long way to go in this University life. I can't tell you yet what is coming but all I can say is keep going. Don't give up. You can do it if you believe that you can!!!!

Till next time!!!

Ps: Give hugs! We all need a little more oxytocin when we can!
