First ever blog part 1 (second term "blues", marketing vs physiotherapy, commitment, faith)

First ever blog (second term "blues", commerce vs health care, commitment, faith) 

Hi, there!

 With the intention of improving my writing skills, I've decided to write blogs! I'm going to be using this blog to write about my thoughts and things that are occurring throughout my day-to-day life. Very similar to a journal, but maybe a little bit more formal? 😛

 As the title suggest, in 2016, I suffer something called the second year "blue". This occurs when uni students start doubting if they made the right decision about their degree, this usually happens in the second semester of year of uni, thus the name. For those that have not never experience this, think of a time when you brought something and you keep evaluating about whether you made the right choice or not. 

 The first semester of 2016, I was uncertain if I have chosen the right career path in life (I was majoring in finance). With the benefit of hindsight, I can see several reasons why I was feeling this way. Firstly, I chose my major in a very nonchalant, all my friends decided to do finance, and I just decided to follow(stupidly thinking that I can succeed in any major). Secondly, I was a high-achieving freshman, I was receiving distinction and high distinction for all my subjects through year one. But things were not smooth in year 2, in fact, I hit my wall and that was finance. Due to my limited maths background, I really struggle with this statistic course called QBA. It shocked me how much I couldn't comprehend the subject. Thirdly, my brain was filled with this knowledge of an INFJ which I was doing a lot of research on...and I thought I needed to be in an industry in which I can help others to fill satisfy in life.

Therefore, I decided to sign up and set up my preferences earlier this year, to allow myself to have the choice when the offer were out.Yesterday, the main round for university offers were released, and I receive my second preference of Physiotherapy at WSU. I somewhat hoped I wouldn't receive an offer, so  I didn't have to make a decision. But after thinking about it, I am grateful that I received the choice.

Words from my heart

As I read through my journal,  you are the star of every page.  As my eyes scroll down the page,  you are the ache of every pain.  Everytime I see your name,  the wound in my heart breaks.   This journal reminds me of your beauty and my pain .

In The Face of Disappointments

Image
Disappointment. It is something we all have experience with. From when you were young to this very day. From the day you didn’t receive the Christmas present you wanted when you were a kid, to the day when you didn’t get that job you desired, or that holiday, or that crush you wanted to like you back. Our hopes and plans don’t always turn out the way we wanted. We are all constantly subjected to disappointments of unmet desires. Disappointment is a symptom of when we fill unsatisfied or unfulfilled in ourselves or others. We all have expectations of ourselves and the world around us. We subconsciously and consciously set dreams and goals to what we want to achieve. When we were kids, we wanted to be that movie star, or that singer, basketball player or that chef we see on TV. And for many us, these dreams were never fulfilled. As we grew older, we decided to set more realistic goals such as the university to attend, the major to do, the sport to play or the girl to marry. ...

The Problem with Self-sufficiency

Image
2017. It was a year of disappointment. After a tough year in 2016, I had high hopes and inspiration for 2017. It was going to be my bounce-back year. It was the year that I learn from all the difficulty and hardship from 2016 and blossom in all areas of my life. Goals and standards were set high and my aspiration was it's top. However, it all fell short.  The start of the first semester, I was feeling quite good. I had my major sorted out. I was quite confident, even overconfident. After a mediocre 2016, I was determined to achieve the marks I did in 2015. I was spending more time studying, I had a determined focus and my expectations were high. However, when I receive my mark for the first test I did. I was shocked. I couldn't understand it, why did I receive such a mediocre mark? I put in so much effort in my studies. If this was 2015, I would have got at least 17/20. Soon I chalked it up as just bad luck, and I will do better in my next test. However, this was not the c...
