Hola everyone.
As you all probably all know, I’m currently in my second semester of university – I study journalism and communication studies. I know, two semesters aren’t that much, but they’re enough to show me what the university life is like. And university already taught me some things. So I thought why not share this special lesson with you. Let’s go.
.
- most of the teachers couldn’t care less about your attendance
- you will have to study A LOT more
- don’t start revising two days before the exam, bad idea, seriously
- every exam will probably seem like finals
- there are many nice people walking around on this beautiful planet
- someday you just won’t feel like going to a lecture, that’s okay (still go most of the time though, please)
- you will meet a lot of new, interesting people and become friends with some of them
- this is the perfect time to LIVE
- being late is better than not going at all
- also, there a lot of really strange people walking around on this kinda weird planet
- water and food are essential (for some, coffee too)
- sleep is a precious good
- anthropology students just love asking questions and discussing things
- exam week means hell week
- you’ll notice that there are actually man people out there who think the same way as you
- sometimes the teachers lie about what is important and what isn’t
- deadlines are serious, selfish, strict and just cold-hearted
- the more semesters, the harder it gets
- do your homework guys
- appreciate the time, party, meet friends, stay as happy as you can and enjoy the ride

There it is. My lesson that university taught me so far. I have today, I always dreamed about going to college and imagined it being like in the american movies. But it’s not really like that, at least not here. But that’s okay, because I still love it and loved it from the first second on. At the beginning it was a little bit weird and hard, I was lonely, didn’t have friends, that I saw and talked to every day, but it got better. Today I look forward to the lectures, to seeing my friends, to visit my favorite café or go shopping between lectures, when I have time. You could say that I’ve finally settled and more than happy about that. I think this time is really important, it’s the phase between being a teenager and an adult, so perch for making as many experiences and fulfilling as many dreams as possible. The time is now, we just have to use it.

I hope you enjoyed this post and if any of you go to university too and want to chat, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x
