Please make the most out of your uni life.

When I first started uni i was like..yeah..this is fun..this is new..then after a while i'm like..yeah stuff it this is boring...and i hardly ever tried to "get into" the fun uni life- hanging around union house, staying in the library studying, using uni gym, being active in uni clubs etc..

I tried to squeeze all my subjects into one day so I would only need to go to uni 2-3 days a week from 8-5 sometimes with only 15 mins of lunch break.

Reason for that being : CBS going to the city everyday, PT takes ages and it's annoying, I wanna stay home and sleep in.

But now, I've come to approach the last days of my uni life.. as I've only got 1 more semester of uni left..I am actually really regretting not making use of my uni life =(

If I could've done things a lil bit more different, I would've:

  • Be more active in clubs..i.e eventhough I was a subcommittee I seriously didn't bother doing much things =(
  • Join uni gym with my friends
  • Stay at uni after lectures to hang around more with friends
  • Join Christian Union/Focus on uni ministry
  • Studied harder for uni. i.e instead of just memorizing everything or leave things till last minute, I should've actually take interest in my subjects and try to do more consistent study, prepare for tute work every week etc.
  • Pick more interesting subjects at uni. Come to think of it, I actually really know what I like doing now. Yes it is Accounting, and I'm happy i'm doing Accounting, but it's Accounting AND Marketing. Not Accounting and Finance...I've wasted all these years trying to do Finance and now I'm dropping it. Now it's too late for me to take a marketing degree because I have to do that from first year..sigh..
  • There are all these subjects where I really wanna do now like "childcare education, marketing, creativity and arts, chinese cinema.." but it's too late for me to do now, because it's all offered on Semeseter 1 and I no longer have any semester 1s at uni =( sad face..why did I pick chinese for the past 4 semesters? lol
  • Not sleep or muck around in lectures drawing pictures on ppl's notes and then coming home saying " yeah i'll read that later" but i never do and when exam comes i'm like ...huh? i did this?
  • Go for Uni ball. I've never been to a uni ball =( I always wanted to go but..just..never got to =( I said I will go in year 3 uni but now i'm like which one to go to sigh.
  • Drive to uni. Driving to uni is sooooooooo good you feel like, "less stressful" and less of your time is spent on PT'ing. Why didn't I drive to uni earlier

Sigh, after this long list of regrets, what can I do now to make the most out of my uni life?

For the next 6 months, I've already planned or hope to

  • Spread my uni timetable out so I can hang around with friends for lunch
  • Have Mahjong after exam party with uni friends
  • Attend all of their 21st party eventhough it's all in the city
  • Join uni gym/kungfu club to learn wing chun lol
  • Focus more on lectures, do my readings, and my tute work
  • Reach out more to my uni friends
  • Attend some sort of Christian bible study groups
  • Dye my hair some crazy weird colour because I can never do that ever again if I don't

Looks like staying in the city won't be a bad thing after all, yes, a bit away from church, but a bit closer to the place where I should be reaching out to...

Maybe God has a plan to let this happen. We'll see where He takes me.

Thanks God=)
