end of chapter one (uni diary)
I finished all my exams and assessments last Thursday. And I’m going back to Taiwan this Thursday! It’s been a year since I left home, honestly, I wasn’t miss my family. But, it’s time to go home.
Let’s say, this year I experienced many things and I’m sure I become more mature compared to me last year. I feel I have to write down my thought at the moment because it’s worth to memorize. After I finish my last exam, I felt free but this feeling only lasted for that day. To be honest, I didn’t feel excited and looking forward to the next chapter, I felt I lost myself because no more assignments to do. I don’t know whether you can get it or not. Have you had the feeling that after you complete a big project, of course, you are free and finally can sleep well. But, no invisible hand to push you to keep going at your back. It’s lonely and silent, suddenly I have no idea what should I do next. But, it’s only the transitional period before I step into the next chapter, I already get used to this feeling.
I finished two novels while I was preparing for my exams, and finished another one after the exams. I put myself into the story every time, and need to give myself a few days to get out of the story and get back to real life. I only focus on reading novels when there are some big things happening, because I have to put myself into another world (or escape) otherwise I’ll suffer from reality. Reading novels is a good way for me to escape, or sometimes to experience different lifestyles. That is why reading is so charming and fascinating for me because we only can live once but through reading we can live a million times. Sometimes reading is like a mirror, it can reflect your mind and thought through the words. And you will be amazed how can a man you never know have the same thought as you, even speak of your mind. I think reading is our whole life journey.
Let’s say, this year I made a lot of friends. I also become more active and enjoy being surround by friends. I used to be a girl staying in the corner and watching the people, but now I gradually integrate into that group of people. I think I’m blessed, I run yoga and Chinese class weekly on campus at the begginning of May, and the classes are slowly but continue to grow. Until now, there are eight people join my yoga class regularly, and 4 in my Chinese class. I not only teaching them but also teaching myself. Life is full of challenges and surprises. Even though my social life is colorful now, I still remember to spend some time for myself. It’s important to find the balance between friendship and yourself.
In the end, I would like to say and share the words with you. Never try never know. And believe every decision is the best for you.
