Hi everyone,
I know it's been a while. The past couple of months (or however long it's been) has been crazy. So let's catch up!
So last year was year 12. That's all I have to say really.
Moving on.
This year is my first year of university. Yes it's been exciting but it's also been challenging. I under estimated how different uni was going to be from school and overall I have being feeling down. I have put down to a number factors, such as the change from school to uni, also getting use to being an 'adult'.
The one thing that school hardly touch on was how to handle everything that comes with being an adult, such as taxes and now everything is on you. Espically at my school there was so much focus on scores what uni you were going to, and all your time was spent studying in order to achieve the score to get into uni. Lucky for me it was about my score for uni but the my level or art and design skills that I had to offer.
So now that I am in uni I being to question whether uni was the best option or am I doing to right course. As during high school you hear stories how uni is a breeze you don't work as hard as you doin year 12 and no one cares, which it's not true, espically in my course. But don't get me wrong that course itself is good and offers a lot a jobs when finishing, but for me I am still going through my adjustment period. Which really doesn't help when I see some of my other friends find themselves straight away and going to all these parties and made heaps of new friends, and I feel kind of left out. Although I am not one that goes too many parties anyway, I guess I had this expectation that uni was going to be different to school, and I would work hard beacuse I no longer had to the subjects that I hated and I would be doing something that I like. However things haven't turned out as planed.
I do intend to still go to uni, as I do like the course despite its few like issues here and there, but as far as life in gernal I honestly don't know. Which is also another thing school didn't like so much, was 'I don't know' when answering what you wanted to do cause of the pressure to go to uni, as that was plan go to uni then work there wasn't really time to figure yourself out that was done through school. Which is a lot of pressure for teenagers to do, it's a stuipd system and if you didn't know what you wanted to do, you were shamed and asked 'why'. It just supports the reasons why everyone hates school, cause it places pressure on certain areas that in reality take a lot longer to figure out.
And here I am an adult by law and have now clue how to fill out a tax return.
Hope you guys have a great week.
Talk to you guys soon xx
