University talk

Hello there, Hope your all well :D

When you reach the end of high school, people start asking “what are your plans?” “what do you wanna do after school?” “where are you applying?” “Are you gonna study in Bahrain or are you gonna go abroad?”. I HATE those questions, it’s like everyone is suddenly interested in my future. I know you care and you want to give out some advice, but honestly, all your doing is confusing me more so please just BACK OFF. (this sounded a bit too harsh)

Some people are very lucky to know right from the beginning what they want to do once they’re out of school and where they want to study, so they go ahead and choose the right university and apply early. Unfortunately, I wasn’t one of those people. I was very confused, I even went through a phase where everything sounded interesting to me; medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, history and everything else except computer science (I’ll never understand computer stuff). While all of this was going on in my head, there was a university expo in Bahrain that included some very reputable universities in the UK. My dad took me to the expo although I knew that my parents wanted me to stay in Bahrain. I went there, looked around, asked some questions and so on. This made me realize that I HAVE to sit down with my parents and discuss my future because there wasn’t enough time left. And my parents always brought up the topic during dinner time, like SERIOUSLY? And when it came up I just felt nauseous.

My father studied civil engineering and my mother studied business and management, so this did effect my choice greatly. My mom thought architecture could be my thing, but it wasn’t. And my dad thought engineering could be my thing, but I wasn’t interested. At the back of my mind, I was thinking of teaching English, this is what I see myself doing in 10 years time (with a side business, we’ll get on that later). SO ANYWAY, I wasn’t sure if my parents will like the idea of me studying English language and literature, and having teaching as a career in my mind. But when I later discussed it with both of them, they were very supportive and encouraged me to do it. I also want to apply for business and management as I think I’ll do very good in that sector and I really enjoyed studying business in high school.

So here I am, chilling in my P-jays, just found out that I have an exam next week for a university entry, not sure whether I have to prepare for it or just go unprepared. Wish me luck ! I might give you updates on university applications and stuff like that. But for now I’m really hoping this all turns out as I hoped it would. I still get nervous when people talk about universities and future, it just sounds very big to me, like there is a whole entire life out there that we haven’t experienced yet and it’s time to draw our paths.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them”

See you soon x
