“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.” - Buddha
“We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
“We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience. We must do that which we think we cannot.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
No matter what language I use it's still the same word. The same meaning. The same fear. The fear of the unknown. Last year, university seemed so far away that never really thought about it, but now it’s almost time for the inscription and, next year, for a lot of students all around the world, university will begin. Am I the only one who is scared of it? Of course, it will be a great moment in my life, but what if…
What if I fail my classes?
What if I’m not good enough?
What if I don’t have enough money?
What if I make the wrong choice?
What if I cannot take care of myself?
What if I lose all my friends?
What if …
There are so many “if”, but there are still no answers to them. Do I have to jump into the adventure that is university without knowing those answers? I’m scared of going to another city alone, without my friends. I’m scared to live without my parents for the first time. I’m scared that I will lose my friends, because we are to far away. Even if I’m scared of a lot of things, I’m also really exited to go to university, make new friends and to finally answer those unanswered questions.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop time and just live like right now for a long time. I’m surrounded by amazing friends, real friends and I don’t have to worry about money or my grades. I’m also positive that I made the right choice by choosing Languages as my program. All I have to do is to live fully every minutes of my life.
