College: A Work in Progress

I remember being quite nervous when I first started college. Being a college student in this day and age is extremely difficult. I'm not sure, maybe it's just me? Or perhaps you share my sentiments. The only way to find out is to read my narrative on how college life really is.

When we were younger, we imagined university life as being colorful, with things like being able to stay up late, attending a lot of parties, meeting new and interesting people, doing anything you want, and living life to the fullest, like we see in movies. College life isn't like that at all. In my case, I've had a lot of breakdowns and doubts, but the best part is that I've met a lot of amazing people.

My first year of college was a struggle; I didn't know what to do and couldn't figure out why I was there. I felt adrift, and I was beginning to doubt my own identity. I couldn't figure out what kind of pals I'd require to get through college. Back then, I wasn't so sure of myself.

The second year, I was able to adjust. I meet friends and they were amazing. I was able to channel out my true self when I'm with them. I am more familiar and at ease in the surrounding. 

My third year of college has just flown by. It was quick; it vanished in the blink of an eye. And now that I'm in my final year of university, I'm worried about what my life will be like after graduation. Will I be able to please my parents? I'm terrified of life and what it has in store for me. There was an inner pressure that was continually after me. There were times when I wished I could go back to being an elementary student, unafraid of making errors, and being a carefree individual.

But on days like those, I remind myself that it's okay if I don't know what I'm going to do next. It's fine to be unsure. That all of my questions would be addressed along the journey, and that all I have to do is keep going. 

You've come a long way, Keep going.
