A Quick Summary of Everything that happened in life
Table of Contents
My last post on the old site was from ~2 years ago. That’s a pretty long time. I’d like to give a brief (I’ll try, I swear) overview of everything important that happened.
University
I dropped out before finishing the first semester. I failed two main subjects which left me with too little credit to pass the semester.
I was extremely desperate. I thought I was a complete failure.
More attempts
Feeling extremely low, obviously I started trying to get back into university because I was taught to believe that getting a degree is the most important thing ever.
First I applied for a degree in film-making, didn’t pass the entry exams.
After that failure I applied for the same IT degree that I failed before. I remember feeling very proud of myself that I managed to pass the entry exams, but after a deep look within myself, I realized that might not be the best path for me.
Looking for a job
Before the semester started I looked around for a possible job. I think I wrote to ~6 companies and only one responded.
And they responded positively!
The hiring process was completely smooth ordinary so I won’t go into any details here.
And so I got my first job!
Work life
Starting work was nearly the best thing I ever did. I was so happy that I had authority over my free time. No homework, no studying, it was great! Once I got used to a daily routine of driving to work, working, driving back home, having a few hours of free time, I thought this is the perfect life!
Moving out
I started dating my current girlfriend mid-November 2023. We stayed with my parents for a few months but we quickly realized that’s not viable long-term.
We moved out some time in April 2024.
This is where the perfect life ended.
Living on your own
I didn’t expect much to change. I’d go to work, go back home, have some free time, do some chores and go to sleep.
But a lot has changed. Those chores I mentioned happen to take up a lot more of the free time than I expected.
Living together with another person sure is a learning curve, but we’re both confident that we’ll be able to figure it out.
And that’s it!
I hope I’ll be able to provide more life updates as they happen instead of making these types of loooong summary posts.
