What it feels like to be a university student in everyday life.
The truth is that I didn’t have the opportunity to talk much with other students about how everyone spends their daily lives, so I will talk to you about my own personal experience.
Many things have happened even since the first month of my studies. The first day I entered the hall to do the first lesson with the first teacher, I felt quite strange. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this particular feeling in the past. Of course, as time went by, I didn’t feel more relaxed, but at least I hope to get into the climate as quickly as possible. It was so strange. University courses, studies, workshops and an extracurricular activity. Violin lessons. Yes, I like to do many things during the day because I have the adrenaline that I lack. The truth is, sometimes I feel like I don’t have that energy and I just want to lay in my bed and do absolutely nothing. Yes, absolutely nothing. Exactly! Now I imagine that you will think: << Well, since you want to feel the adrenaline, how can you not want to do anything on another day?>> And yet, it happens. I just want to do things and forget everything that makes me feel sad or cry. I just want to forget that he tortures me in different ways. Listening to music, watching my favorite movies and reading a book. Having balance in your daily life is always necessary, but it is not always easy to achieve. The university gives me a full time schedule and I really like that. I’d also like to add a weekend fitness program if possible because I really need it. Having a healthy body and mind is always important, even though sometimes even that is not possible to achieve.
At the university I learn many interesting things that I have never seen or heard before in my life. After all, that’s why we go to university, right? To discover a different world, which we have never seen before and we would very much like to explore it and in the end become experts in this field, so that we can work on this profession that we are going to do in the future. Of course, this does not always apply because in the future we may choose a different profession and things may turn out differently in our lives which may be for our good. In my case, I don’t know what is going to happen, but I am optimistic about the future. I have two things in mind and I’m trying to put them into practice. The first is persistence and the second is patience. If you have these two and put them into practice you can do great things and evolve in your life. Always try to do your best in life and never give up.
Life is always full of surprises and yes, I am in quarantine because of covid-19. Fortunately I did not have serious symptoms and day by day I am getting better. Let’s take a few vitamins and drink a lot of tea!
My personal experience with Covid-19 and how quarantine affected my mental health.
On Friday I got the coronavirus, but the symptoms appeared on Sunday at noon. My fever had gone up a bit, but the pain in my bones was for two to three days. I kept saying to myself just one specific sentence: “Get up because you will not be able to recover if you do not drink orange juice”. When I’m sick I can not drink water and only orange juice makes me feel better. I did the same at the moment when I felt pain all over my body. My psychology and body struggled inside me, but I finally made the decision in a few seconds, and I succeeded. I tried to keep my body alive as much as possible. I wanted to stay alive. It was one of the most difficult time of my life.
I am writing this blog in the fourth day of quarantine and fortunately I have only a symptom of cough. The first two days were really very torturous for my body and scary I could say. The good thing is that I did not lose the sense of taste and smell. Even though I did both doses of Pfizer, yes I got stuck. I’m not saying this as a complaint, nor am I trying to scare anyone, I am just giving you the advice to protect yourselves always and everywhere. Do not leave yourselves unprotected. Do your best for yourself and for the people you love around you. The vaccine is not to blame, neither am I. It just had to be done and done. I know that there are some people who are scared and it is completely normal, because it is a very unknown situation for both the doctors and for us, the citizens. Help yourself and follow the advice of experts who try in a short time to do the best they can to live our lives as we were before the pandemic.
I also got the chance to write an article in Aftenposten (Norwegian News Website) about my personal experience with Covid-19 and I would very much like to share it with you all. It was my first article I wrote, so I really hope not to judge myself harshly. I just wanted to express a few things I felt and believed during this period. I respect everyone’s opinions. Love you all. (Link is here).
Even though Christmas is coming soon, feelings are mixed.
Christmas is coming soon. What are your feelings? How do you plan to celebrate them this year? I have mixed feelings, but it’s not the right time to open up on this issue, so I will do it when I think it’s the right time. Take care of yourself, decorate your homes, communicate with your relatives, forgive your friends, be happy and this year will be even more magical than any other in your life. Do not forget that there are people around you who need your help. Do not deprive yourself of this opportunity and give a little joy and love to those who really need it.🥰.
If you would like to ask me questions about Covid-19 or anything else, just write your questions in comments and I am going to answer you very very soon ;).
