What 3 years at university gave me | Graduation

While writing my last post, I remembered my studies and graduation and some thoughts popped. As I have told before, my time at uni wasn't the best. But beside that I am thankful for that 3 years, because it tough me something.

It was a special moment, I was very happy and proud of myself for doing it, for finding strength to finish something I didn't enjoy and wasn't really interested in. But I didn't give up and graduated. 

Probably I won't work in that area but still a degree is useful to have. It was an experience and those 3 years of studies taught me something. Of course, it gave professional knowledge but also I've learned more important stuff: I've understood what I don't want to do in life, I've learned which are my strong sides and where I am weak at and I accepted myself as I am. I understood that everyone are different, that every person has its own way of working, socializing, living. I've discovered my way and accepted it and now I am not trying to change myself and never want to. Those 3 years thought me that I am strong enough to make something happen, to keep it up and finish what I have started.

Through out that period I met people that made my studies a little easier. We made our own friendship group. I never argued with other people in our class, I would interact with everyone but still I was staying aside, by my own. I remember that the first year I was mostly alone. I tried to make friends but all of them made into other groups. I was upset at first but then I realized that being alone isn't bad. After understanding it, somehow I became friends with other girls that also was a bit aside. And at our last year we where all together, always doing projects together, spending breaks together, while still we were aside from others. But this didn't bother me. 

Those 3 years at uni gave me an understanding that being alone or being different isn't a bad thing. You just need to admit it and embrace. Right people will come eventually. 

Even though I didn't like my studies and major, I am grateful for this experience which changed me. 

I would like to advice all to always, even in the worst cases, search for something good. There is always something useful and positive. 

"Everything happens for a reason" - I believe in it and it makes my life easier.

Update

Hey there!

It's me again. Long time, no post, unfortunately. But it's life, life as it is. So let me tell what have been happening in my life in my absence. It's not a lot but I want to share and try to come back to blogging, starting with this post.

Last time I posted 3 months ago. So, whole 3 months, a quarter of the year, one season. A lot of time but still so little. Those of you who read my blog earlier know that I've graduated in January, after what I started searching for a job. I couldn't find anything for some time. And let me tell you it was a hard time. I felt  useless, down, apathetic. After 2 months of unsuccessful search I lost hope. But not only hope to find job, no, it was worse. I lost hope for everything. To show the situation I should point out that I always was a person that even in the darkest scenarios had hope, I always believed for the best. But at that point in my life I had lost hope. I didn't believe I will find a job, meet love, be happy. Now when I look back, I was probably near to depression (or maybe it was already an early stage). 

But in March everything has changed. I found a job! Everything went really quick: I remember that I send my CV, the other day they called to invite me to an interview, day after I went there and was offered a job which I had accepted and the other week I've started the training.
I couldn't believe my luck. After all that time of unsuccessful tries, time with no offers and no interviews, I have got the job! I was really excited and happy. Even my friend told me that I have changed. Like he said my eyes lightened up again. 

So, I had a month long training and now I am working almost three months already. Time went so fast, I didn't notice. 

Everything is fine now, I like my job, I've met there new people, made some friends. And oh, I got back my hope. Now I hope for the better tomorrow, again, how I used to.

Don't know how my blogging will go on from this point but I would like to start posting again. I will try but I won't put pressure on myself. I have some post ideas that I want to write, so I'll get to them as soon as possible. 

What would really help me is knowing what those who read Minty way would like to see on the blog, what types of posts would you be interested in. Questions are also warmly welcomed. I will answer to all of them.

Hopefully, see you soon.
