Since the school break started a few days ago, I've been staying at home, which feels quite unfamiliar for me. For students studying away from home, we can still visit home for a month or two during holidays. But once we start working, we'll probably return only once or twice a year. This thought brings some sadness.
Since finding an internship last year, I've been balancing work and study. It's challenging to coordinate both. I transitioned from a part-time to almost full-time position last year, and perhaps I'm ahead of most people by doing what seniors do while still in my junior year. I no longer prioritize studying and don't intensely prepare for exams. My first experience of feeling helpless during exams was in an information systems test where I guessed many answers. Thankfully, I didn't fail. My grades came out this morning, and I passed, which is a relief.
I've been watching many dramas recently, which made me realize the difficulties of adulthood. Stepping out of school and into society, I'll soon be an adult facing responsibilities and challenges. Can I still maintain my original aspirations?
