Without a doubt, chemistry and physics placed a mental and physical strain on me. But its over, finally over and surprisingly, I miss it a lot. Nonetheless, this summer has taught me so much; life skills I will cherish for the rest of my life.
1) I think I finally learned how to rock college, HARD.
In all seriousness, unless you're born with the brains and the motivation magically installed within you, college is just a motion you go through: classes, parties, clubs, friends. I know I use to go to class just because I had to, I've never been to office hours because hours were "inconvenient", and listening to ALL the lectures for 3 days before the exam was hardcore "studying." But this summer, I learned to fight all of this. Working on assignments a little at a time as they were assigned until the due date, studying at LEAST a week before with more than 5 practice exams, and of course not ditching class really paid off. I learned to discipline myself. You're probably thinking, "yeah yeah, I've heard of this before" but in all honestly, take a step back and look at yourself. Are you happy with your college career? When you graduate, will you regret paying the amount you did for what you got out of it?
2) MOTIVATION - To not achieve perfect but to achiever better
At the beginning of the summer, I set a physical challenge for myself. Healthy up, lose some flab here and there, and achieve some undeniable tonage I can be proud of. A lot of people tell me that I am already so small, so thin, that I don't have anything to lose. But after being a dedicated my fitnesspal for over 2 months, I had some unhealthy eating habits. But through this ever lasting journey, I finally learned how to portion control and choose healthy substitutes. I MUST also thank pinterest for keeping me super motivated. As I scroll through the "Health and Fitness" section, all I ever end up doing (most of the time) is lace up my shoes and run. I must say, my body is the greatest investment I have ever made.I love waking up in the morning, feeling great about how healthy I feel and how much better it can be tomorrow.
3) Living life to its fullest.
A girl with a wild imagination, lots of thinking time, and a hurt soul, I won't lie, it was 100% ridiculously distracting. Who thinks about school when there are other things to worry about like family and loved ones right? True, but wrong. When life gets real, you fight. Because as difficult as it is, the world is depending on you to make a difference. Search high and low, far and wide for your purpose. Mine is to ultimately share my passion of taking care of others and inspiring others to be better than who they were yesterday. So, I will strengthen myself, protect myself, and endure it all in hopes that tomorrow, I can inspire.
Current Goals:
For my future: Preparing for the MCATS, at least 2 hours a day.
For my health: Abs and legs
Have a beautiful night <3
