Food for thought

So, third year has come to an end, something that is almost unbelievable. I still have a year to go, yet many of my former classmates have already finished their baccalaureate studies.

On one hand I do envy their successful end of studies, but on the other hand I do like my life at the University – keeping myself busy with studying, work, and social activities in a carefully balanced schedule; and even though I am already, in a way, looking forward to when I will start using my gained knowledge in a practical and real-world situations I am already worried about what’s to come. It’s not an uncertainty of a job and such, but more the general lack of concrete route to go towards later. As of now I am headed on a given path through education, and looking back I can see the straight trail that has lead me here.

And this uncertainly is, in a way, fruitful. Even a small thought of what might come will grow into a fully-fledged scenario that might eventually take a real shape and come alive, or it might wither and give a way for another well-though path. In either case the mind is left wondering in multitude of ways, giving rise to more and more far-fetched scenarios and possible life paths. And the most fun of it all? It is quite possible that one of those, now seemingly impossible, thoughts might become a reality.

And just as I think about the end of Uni I think of the fourth year – will it be just as challenging as the third one was? Will I be just as successful as previous year? What unforeseen challenges should I prepare for, and what am I prepared to handle? Well, there is only one way to find out – either way I am now heading for at least a 2.1 Honours degree – and who knows, maybe one of my though-scenarios involving a 1st Honours degree might come to pass. We’ll see.
