Congratulations for getting through the first semester of university. Congratulations for getting all, or most of, your assignments handed in. But most of all, congratulations for not murdering a fellow classmate during a group assignment.
You are one sixth of the way to a degree that will change your life. Maybe you know exactly what you want to do after graduation, or maybe you are yet to figure that out. And that’s ok.
Maybe you are feeling happy, confident and more than ready to take on semester two. Or maybe you are feeling exhausted, deflated, hesitant and would prefer to sleep and eat cookie dough for the next two and a half years rather than receive a life changing degree.
If you’re feeling like university is a waste of time, that’s ok. But don’t let those feelings take over. Have a break. Run a bath. Read a book. Go on a holiday. Do whatever you need to do to get back on track.
This is the time that will shape the rest of your life. So no matter what happens you need to get up, dress up, show up and never give up.
