Throughout my life I met people asking me,
what I was planning to do after school. Very many of those people looked at me
with an arrogant sight when I answered, that I’d like to go to university. They
asked questions, if I wanted to work cotemporary with studying or where else I
would get my money from. Numerous people are absolutely convinced, that
studying is only about having fun, drinking and wasting time and money. In
fact, it isn’t! Of course there are those nice, sunny afternoons which you
spend enjoying yourself in the park with a good book or your friends; but there
are also those weekends where you find yourself at home with your third cup of
coffee, snowed under with work for university and your exams. Sometimes I am
really anxious how I should handle all those pieces of homework, prewriting and
studying. The life as a student isn’t always only convenient and adorable.
On the other hand I think, that you can’t
ever have such a carefree time in your life again. You are young, free and do
what you like to do – in my case I study languages, which I have always been
passionate about! Additionally, you got those immense long summerholidays,
which give you the opportunity to have time for yourself, your individual
being, your hobbies and dreams. In my case for example, and I guess in many
other cases too, I will spend some of my time with working to earn some money,
so that I can afterwards travel. While travelling, I get the chance to focus on
my language skills again. For example by travelling to either a Spanish – or an
English-speaking country. However, you must not forget that you can’t just sit
back 3 months in the summer; of course not! You still need to keep yourself
motivated for studying and getting deeper into the subject you study. It’s not
like you’re zoned out for the whole summer. On the contrary, during holidays
studying is even more demanding. You need to work all on your own – no teachers
who keep you on the right track!
Overall, the time as a student is full of
chances to seize. You will never have the same opportunities and possibilities so
close ever again. So, don’t be lazy and use your time!
Hey Carla :)
AntwortenLöschenI absolutely agree with you. Although sometimes it is very hard to keep on track, we should always keep in mind how much time we actually have for our development and that it's never going to be the same. But before turning my comment into a nostalgic one- let's use every minute and stay motivated for studying :)
