GET LIT!!! ✨✨✨
Last night was a blur. For the first time I went to the Pit, a pub at UBC. It was a hella fun. It was like the first year of university minus the fear of awkwardness and anxiety.
It was the university life that I signed up for.
I guess I haven't been very connected to school for the past two years, partly because of co-op, mostly because of the fact I didn't really have a strong sense of belonging to UBC until this year (or I had but I forgot) For years I thought I just didn't fit in but really, I simply had not found my niche.
I still remember the night I arrived Totem Park, a first year dormitory. I remember it because there was a fraternity party and many were dressed in white. That was my first impression of a university party and how you "should" party.
So I tried (hard) and it was fun...sort of. It just felt kind of empty. And I tried to convince myself "it's how you do it here!"
Or is it?
What I learnt the most from UBC isn't so much the Kantian Ethics or Platonism but things like how you socialize and how to find your own path.
Especially the last one.
Sometime I wonder if university is still relevant today. Had I known what I wanted to do I would've attended General Assembly or digital schools alike. Does that mean I regret going to university? No, because had I not got into UBC I would have known that I like what I do now.
University is a series of trial and error allows you to know yourself in a much deeper level. It connects you with like minded people, to exchange intellectual conversations, to explore your options of the kind "life" you want, and to expand your horizons.
If I were to tell me old self one thing it'd be this: stop caring what norm is. It's not about the curve or the transcript but your own path.
Things like last night reminds of my first year and how much I grew as a student. I'm sure I'll continue to learn for the rest of my life but graduating in May 2017 means that my identity as a "student" is only valid for another half a year. The uncertainty is starting to cost me a few hours of sleep. Despite the discomfort, I'm still excited to see how much I can grow for the rest of my university life.
