Life, goals, relationship
March 11, 2016.
Wow! It has been one heck of a journey so far. A lot of self realization, self evaluation, struggle, competition, knowing where I stand, working towards improving myself every single day and life @ UCSD.
Every single experience has been worth it. I have been one of the worst student in my college (marks wise in mid term) and then studied day and night to fix it. Ended up way above average by finals. Withdrew one course in quarter one. Easily managed two graduate courses in quarter two. Planning on enrolling in 3 graduate courses in quarter 3(Spring).
I have not slept for last 36 hours. I did in intervals quick nap. Time management is something I need to learn.
Internship. I did a mistake. I was too focussed on studies and started job application late. By the time I was really active, most of the companies had their slots filled for summer and are now taking students for fall internship. I have a final round of interview left with Amazon. Unfortunately, Amazon has started mailing students that their summer internship positions are filled. So I might not get this too. Its okay. I have plans for summer. I went and spoke to the guy working for apple. Asked him to take a look at my resume. What is it that I should do to get into apple! I am not yet ready for apple. He said, design applications. Instead of showing resume, show your real time projects. Your hosted applications. Your git hub portfolios. Think different, be different. I will do all that from now onwards. This summer I will have three months. I want to make full use of it.
Ever since I came here, I began to value time. How much your every single minute is worth for. How can you improve yourself with the passing of every single hour! Life is challenging here. Everyone is going for the kill. Best students from around the world will motivate you to be better. You might feel low at times. Like how dumb you are. It is not just you who feels that way. Every single student does. All you have to do is stand, take it and just keep working. Don't run away from it. Kill the fear inside you. Fear will die only when you are really good. You will be really good only when you really work smart(Did I not say hard?) .
It is a very competitive world outside. At times, you will feel like, chuck everything. Sit back and relax. Ok. Done. How long? You can enjoy in life only when you know you have worked hard enough to earn the period of enjoyment. It would be so much worth it.
I might not get the results immediately. However, eventually I will. I have started my journey. I have started this now. People around who we call successful had started this journey couple or more years back. So being patient is also a key! Failures are excellent teachers. Successes are the worst teachers. So its okay not to be the best. Fail. Learn. And Rise! Prove it. (to no one but to yourself). Compete with no one but with yourself. Above all. Be happy!
I just blabbered everything that came to my mind. I had a stage fright. Public speaking used to terrify me. I took a course where we have to make a lot of presentations and present it. I have improved. I do not get terrified any more. I have started enjoying it.
I have improved. Everyone might not see it. Is it important that everyone does? No. Its important that I know I have.
For me money was really important. I have a dream. A dream to travel the world. So make lot of money. US taught me something that is more important than minting money. Relationship! They are so much worth it. Your family and friends. Making time for them is much more important that anything else. I speak to my parents every single day. I love them. They have been the pillars of support for me.
My father is so proud. I can see it in his eyes. I love them. They have never tried to cut my wings.
I want to do so many things in life. So many ... and the journey has just started !
