You’re too lazy to do work so believing makes it easy to get up and do something.

This is not true but I thought it was a bit funny as I am studying at the moment and asking God to help me in my exams! The exams which I will study my butt off to pass!!!

On the college website and they have this frikkin scholarship which I am totally eligible for but THEY DO NOT HAVE A WORKING LINK!!! 

I screamed silently at the computer screen as if I was battling in dragon ball z!

At least, I am feeling better because now I can laugh at myself!

Miserable with communication

Not sure what I was doing

Being so accustomed to the sciences

It was all new

 

Took a step back

Looked at it from a different POV

Got the basic gist

Ready to turn in that direction

WHEN

 

BAM

 

I got into the Math program!

OMG

What do I do?

I am so excited

I am a bit scared

 

Happy, ecstatic but worried

 

What do I do?

I can’t say I’ve been very successful when compared to HA-uge CEOs and what not but I’ve done a lil this and that … NOT THE POINT

As someone who is not a big fan of fashion, brands or being sexy/hot. All I care about if comfort (I really just hate clothes #nudity?) i normally aim for comfort and somehow my friends like my “fashion style” … I’m the definition of austerity.

BUT POINT IS…

I’m going to start putting some thought into my look and see if increases my success rate in classes etc. because I can definitely can say that during finals week, I like dressing up because:
1) it’s the end of the semester
2) I do feel more confident walking into an exam looking good ( I get really nervous)
3) you never know what can happen at the end of the semester 😉

Then again I think like most things, it’s relative but we’ll see. It’s cold and honestly I don’t care for it but imma see what happens! 😊

Just a short intro so I that my point can be clear…

From prep school days I have always been “tom-boyish” and that has followed me up to this day in college as a junior, although not as strong, it may be a big part of my life and most of the time I am happy for it. Along with the personality and characteristics that can describe me, I also followed the stereotype and I went through a phase where I had girlfriends and then there was my academic life, I was athletic but I was also pretty good with Math and Sciences which I did have a natural love for. So I continued doing math and science… THEN

I went to college and I figured well I love being active and I love the sciences, why not mechanical engineering… Also there was family on my back about how that would be great as a female and all but I didn’t realize how much of an influence they really had on me until I was in my second semester and I was average, I hated being average because all my friends were above average, with their school work, everything else I excelled in. I was involved on campus and what not… ANYWAYZ

I failed 2 engineer classes and I was such a downer, I didn’t feel any love for it so I switched to math only and there I was also struggling just a bit but I got by. I wondered if I was really doing what I really wanted. I was transferring colleges and did not get into the math program. I got into education and communication. WHAT DID I(my family) CHOOSE?

Communication because my family didn’t think the school i got in for education was worth it. 

P.S. I HATE COMMUNICATION!!! I want to go back and work harder! 

Always told myself I would never regret anything in life but I think I might be regretting this choice. 

 

WHAT NOW?

 

Preface: I am a math major but I started out as a mechanical engineer major. And still I am not sure what I want to do. 

I am taking Philosophy as an elective and to me it boggles my mind because of a few reasons:

  1. why would one study philosophy
  2. why should one study philosophy 
  3. Philosophy is a gateway to many answer, but it is just the start. The question
  4. Does it have an end?
  5. there are philosophers who were not mere philosophers but economists, mathematicians etc 
  6. there were philosophers who were simply philosophers
  7. If its all in the book, why not just sell on the shelf, why pay someone to read it to us
  8. to me is all about rationalizing things, reasoning it out

Now some of my bullets sounds a bit negative but in perspective its all I want to do, I want answers, so I feel I am a lost soul. I feel all these question that boggle my mind are mere simplicity but in philosophy class they are seen as impeccable. 

And I do not mean all those fakes who speak in their weird way, trying to sound all abstract and “smart”

I have always question everything but lacked some confidence to ask them all out loud…

I like Philosophy because it makes me able to express myself more clearly, to wonder what is rely right from wrong, the morality of our being, of our lives. The reason for our existence! The “What ifs…” the whys , the how comes etc

 

Do’s & Don’t when Interning

So I have used Chegg.com for online help with questions from class and also with textbooks. I also signed up to receive emails and one of them lead me to this cite. As a college student I feel this is something we could all use. Some may be common sense but I learnt in sociology 101 that not everyone shares the same “common sense”. So I think it might be just a it helpful. If not, then wish you all great internship experiences! 

I am not sure what to major in. 

I am not sure because people has always decided for me. And now as I realize it is MY life, then I am scared and I feel alone as if there no time for me to waste but I want to achieve something great. I feel like at my age I have accomplished nothing but maybe I have not opened the doors I could have. 

I am so lost in my thought. I am lost because there is a lot on my mind and I wish I could lay it on the table and just fix them but I do not know how to start.

There are things such as love and family relationships on my mind. 

I am passionate about math but I suck at it, 

Whatever i end up doing in life, I want it to be giving back to the world. It deserves it. I owe it to the world and those around me. 

Peace. Love. Care. LAUGHImage
