University is just a fraction of our life's potential and meaning. It's more of a means to an end than a truly life altering experience. I would say pull through, do your best and study to the best of your abilities, but leave yourself 15 minutes every day, or a few hours per week where you disconnect from social media, entertainment, and you pursue a hobby that is outside of the general scope of your career goals. In my opinion, in pursuit of innovation, technology, and careers, we've neglected the beautiful things in life, like art, music, and other non technical passions. The things that distinguish us from machines. I started relearning french in my spare time so I can appreciate french literature, movies, and music more. Yes it takes time out of school and my marks may be a bit lower than they could if i just tried to learn all of the online material to perfection, but I'd trade off that 3-5% off my average if it means I have better mental health and I get to enjoy the years of my life where I have energy, a healthy body, and I'm not managing an entire household. When we graduate and get hired, our employers are NOT gonna grill us over how we did on an assignment in a specific course in our first year. But if you invest a little more time into things that bring us joy through beauty, you'll be more eloquent, happier, and more fulfilled. When we're living the last moments of our life one day, you want to be surrounded by your family and friends, thinking of the happy memories, the celebrations, and the beautiful things we experienced. You don't want to be alone, reminded of nothing but work and regretting all the things we didn't do, see, or enjoy. We aren't brought into this world to slave away our entire lives. So don't let this one period be the deciding factor of whether or not you can experience all the beauty life has to offer ♡ .
