Getting the job done.

As a first year student there are times when I feel like I am struggling and won't be able to get all my work done. It is not easy to write your first essay in university or prepare for seminars if you are not used to it. I had never written an essay where I needed to reference properly or had work to prepare for every single seminar and I never had a seminar where I wouldn't be able to participate if I hadn't done my work. In school you don't have that responsibilty but we are suppose to when we go to univerisity.

I have so far written 6 essays and working on my 7th one and I still find it difficult. I need to sit down, look for sources, take notes, organise the notes and then write it all down again with my own words and analyse it. The problem isn't that I can't do it because I've proved myself wrong many times and written essays that I consider quite successful. The problem is to actually take the time and do it.

Even when you're tired and feel like there is no need to actually study you have to push yourself to do it. It is not worth to wait until the last minute to actually get it done. If you start as soon as you know that you need to do it you will have plenty of time and therefore have time to do other things.

 I spend a lot of time with my friends and doing other things than just studying. Many people, and I have got comments, think that I am a student that is happy with being avarage since I do a lot of other things. The fact is that I'm not. I just use my time the best way and take every moment I can to write on my essay to do it. I start on time which means me being prepared when the due date actually comes.

I know it sounds difficult and I used to wait until the last minute but so far I've done 6 essays and finished them on time and got good results on them so maybe you could trust me on this one. Organise your time. Decide to write a bit every day and you won't be stressed the day before the due date.

Thought on friendship

I have now finished my first year of university. It is a strange feeling knowing that in two years time I will be done with university and moving on with my life but it is also a good feeling knowing I've been through another year filled with experiences and new insight on life. One thing I knew before university but never really appreciated as much as now was the value of friendship. This year I've made friends that I want to make an effort to keep in touch with. I had fight with friends but sorted it out because it was more important to me than leaving it and just staying friends with the people I got along with and the most important thing, I've learnt who I can trust. Being a friend is not just finding someone else funny and listening to them talking about interesting things, it is also about hearing someone complaining about the same thing over and over even though you give them advice what to do. It is accepting that this person might never take your advice but you w

To me he is Sméagol

After finishing Lord of The Rings and the Hobbit my attitude towards the books is easy to describe; I'm in love with the books. As much as it is a struggle to get through Lord of The Rings I enjoyed every word of it and the Hobbit only made me like J.R.R Tolkien even more. One thing that made me love the books was Sméagol (Gollum). The character added a lot of entertainment but also food for thought in so many ways. We are constantly thrown between Sméagol and Gollum and the inner fight he has with himself of what he is. The reason for me feeling so connected to Sméagol is probably due to the fact that I believe everyone can relate to the feelings he is going through, especially in the society now-a-days where we often let our urge of having something can lead to us changing our behavior completely. Sméagol is one of the few characters in the book that is not purely good or bad, he switches between the two, in extreme ways. As strange as it might sound, he is just an exaggerated

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f
