A Quick Summary of Everything that happened in life

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 taught to believe that getting a degree is the most important thing ever and failing that made me feel like a complete failure.

More attempts

The obvious move was to try to “fix” things by getting back into university.

First I applied for a degree in film-making, didn’t pass the entry exams.

After that I applied for the same IT degree that I failed before. And I actually passed the entry exams! I remember feeling very proud of myself because of that.

But after a deep look within myself, I realized that university might not be the best path for me.

Looking for a job

Before the semester started I was looking 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 a totally great decision. I was so happy that I had authority over my free time. No homework, no studying, it was great! I got used to the daily routine of driving to work, working, driving back home and having a few hours of free time fairly quickly.

All the comforts of having my own income and almost no responsibilities because I lived with my parents. This was the closest to a perfect life one could imagine.

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 happen to take up a lot more free time than I expected. And living together with another person sure has 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.
