First Blog - Introduction

Hey world!

My name is Stephanie and I am a university student :)

I'm not sure exactly what I want from this other than to just talk about my day and certain events, record certain memories, explore certain interests I have, and perhaps even influence others - be it through products I use, books I love, little "projects" I'm thinking of starting and so on.

As a university student, being constantly burdened with so much work, I often feel very overwhelmed by the large amount of work I have and especially how little I do accomplish in a day. Thus, I think it'll be great for me to even just be able to have this to remind myself of certain things I did accomplish in a day - even if it is something as simple as baking a cake, painting my nails, etc. Sometimes, I forget about little things like that which I actually finished and it's a good reminder that I didn't just sit around all day - although there are some days where I do just that because we all need a break once in a while!
I'd also like to use this as my keepsake as I sometimes set out little at home "projects" just for fun and it'd be nice to have them recorded. Even with something that didn't take very long, but which I liked how it turned out and so I'd want to keep a picture because I'm not sure I'd be able to recreate it exactly the same again (which is the case oftentimes). I especially want to keep these pictures recorded as my laptop recently crashed and so I lost all my pictures, as well as course notes - right before finals too - yup, it was a tough year! Which is another reason why I just want to enjoy every moment, appreciate the simple things and just have fun this year! :)

Btw, I just started my spring course today - I hope all goes well and that I enjoy it! :) It seems interesting enough thusfar, hopefully that continues!

  1. i was a uni student once, not so long ago, and i totally understand your feeling right now. sometimes you do get overwhelmed, but i think with time you'll get use to it. i rmbr having to go to classes then head for my p/t job back then it was hectic and i feel like i can do so little in a long day, but then that will make you realize how precious time is, and not waste any second of it~~~~im looking forward to you future post~~~

  2. Hey Jenny,
    I'm sorry I took so long to respond - I've been ver busy with school, job hunting, fundraising + extra-curriculars, etc.. I'll probably explain it more in my next post, which I will post right after this :) Life, especially student life, does get very overwhelming at times - I honestly feel like this whole year has been overwhelming! I thought it would be better in this spring/summer course since at least I would only be focusing on one course but there is just so much else going on! Just today I was at a community partnership meeting and so many events were listing that were going on just for the month if June - some even on the same day! I'm also trying to finalize plans for an important pilgrimage I'm going on and which I have been planning for a while now..
    But yes, time is precious! I certainly hope to make better use of mine!
