Making something of yourself
Uni is a unique time when you are surrounded by like minded individuals who all want to make something of their life. So naturally you'll see a lot of people having businesses, being athletes, aspiring singers, models etc and in this midst of so much success it can be disheartening in a way. Everyone appears to be flourishing and getting exciting new opportunities and if you haven't found your thing yet it can seem like you're falling behind the crowd.
To this I say don't worry, a key part of uni and transitioning into adulthood is learning more about yourself and what you want for your future. It's a time to gain ideas from people and meet potential collaborators but it is also a good time to try out different things, pursue something that scares you because even if you fail at it, you have time to recover.
I know what it's like to look at your peers and feel like you're not doing anything or to look at them doing well in something your interested in getting into but maybe you feel like it's too late or you'll never be on the same level. The one good thing about being young is that you have time, sure you have school work and studies to do but there's still a lot of hours of the day that are unaccounted for. My main target for second year in uni is to take any opportunities that come way, not to think about people's reactions but to just do it and that I want to busy.
For me this means, going out there and doing stuff, even if it's not to further my carear. I should go to societies, events anything I can because I won't have this level of opportunity ever again.
