Facts and Random Thoughts: Reflection

by Addy2805, Sep 24, 2024, 4:47 AM

I’m not sure why I decided to open up AoPS again considering I never really use it, but I was surprised to see two comments on my last blog post that was around a year ago. So, I’ll reflect on where my life has come up to some more.

I’m no longer struggling with college apps, but have now begun college. (Hint: well-known engineering-heavy university in Indiana.)

I’m a business analytics major right now. When I started this blog, I wanted to be an astronomer. When I stopped being regularly active on this blog, I wanted to go into biology. When I last posted on this blog, I was planning on majoring in data science or statistics. Moral of the story is, your interests can change and sometimes (often) for the better.

My boyfriend and I attend the same college. As do many of my close friends (weird considering we are from California). Yay!

I find college to be considerably easier than high school as of now, at least this first month that I’ve been here. I went to a VERY academically pressuring STEM-focused high school that churns out T20 college attendees, so I feel a lot more relaxed here.

I miss my family a lot but I’m getting over my homesickness plus I will see them in two weeks.

Today, I got rejected from the student council for the business school. I originally didn’t really care about the club since I somehow got into Women in Business, but once I somehow got to the final round of interviews, I was way more invested, so the rejection hurt. It also hurt a lot because student council is something I’ve been doing since third grade, and I was even class president last year. In a way, I think this rejection is good for me because I’m a huge perfectionist and rejection is something I admittedly don’t handle very well. Though it definitely stings a lot right now, I hope that it will make me a better person and that it’s ultimately for the best. Rejection is redirection, as they always say.

I shook hands with Richard Rusczyk in fourth grade! I just remembered this. That was about eight or nine years ago.

Every time I write in this blog, I feel like I’m always looking back to the past and reflecting on what’s changed. My responsibilities before were homework, tennis, prealgebra, and the clarinet. My responsibilities now are homework, laundry, calculus, and biweekly Target trips. I wish I savored my time back then.

I hope there are people out there that still see this. If you stumble across my blog, please leave a comment/shout and PM me. I think it’s nice to come here and just talk about my life—it’s very comforting*, in a way.

Bye :)

*(edit: used to say common but i did not mean that i was very tired)

@falsename (idk if this actually tags or anything lol)

1. bring an air purifier with you to college. imperative. diffuser is also nice.
2. stock up on as many medicines as possible i feel like i am constantly sick
3. i like looking at college as a nice way to start over and break out of those high school bad habits that i had, like procrastination.
4. if you're currently applying to colleges, make sure to apply to colleges you would definitely want to go to. also don't skimp out on applying to safeties.
5. learn to organize your time! in high school i was the kind of person who would spend the entire day napping and scrolling tiktok before actually doing work, but one thing i do now is stay on campus all day until i finish my work and only go back to my dorm in the evening. this goes back to the procrastination thing but i find it so much easier to finish work outside of my dorm and helps me designate my dorm as a strictly sleeping/relaxation place and takes out the urge to just lay in bed.

hope this helps! lmk if you have any more questions
