It's not a year, I know, but 300 days are enough to see the impact on somebody's life.
Now I'm going to make a list of things that I've enjoyed/experienced during these 300 days.
- I got acquainted with a lot of people and (what's more important) talked to a great amount of people, too. I also have some friends now, which is totally fun.
- I began doing sambo, this is not the greatest thing maybe, but for me it was a huge challenge - both physical and mental.
- I participated in one game of WWW, which was fun, but I dropped it anyway.
- I failed an exam, which was one of the greatest accomplishments, lol. But anyway, I got a lot of experience going through this. And I mean it.
- I left my home (how could I forget about it) for some other place which can be called 'home' as well. I enjoyed it very much and got vital experience of living alone or almost alone and managing all the things by myself i.e. studying, cooking, shopping, cleaning, washing, sleeping and getting up on my own (or almost).
- All the exams were challenging, no doubt about that. Some of them were more interesting, but still, as always, I had fun.
- Not getting scholarship was... painful. Though, I know that I did not put enough effort in it. If only I was more self-confident at the time, I would have made it. Anyway, I will try harder and break the system next time.
- I attended optional courses both semesters, though I backed out in the last semester and did not do an exam for that.
- I went to the role-playing club once and had some of their training. Haha, that was fun.
- I worked hard, sometimes harder than I had to, but sometimes I slacked off and got hurt in the end. But generally, that was good to experience the year at University.
- I ate a lot of chocolate and caffeine, I swear, I had never had so much of that during my whole previous life. Chocolate bars at University and caffeine during exams, nah. I have to reconsider my diet, alright.
- I got ill once in every semester. Though, it was not that harsh, I only had high temperature for 3-4 days maximum. I did not skip classes much.
- I was praised for my English. That was great - to feel that you are better than others at something.
- I went to the students' theater, which was good and I liked it.
- I never confessed to anyone in 300 days. I don't really know if it suits the list, but anyway, that's true.
- I wrote some articles for students' council.
And that's how my 300 days at University passed. I will never say that it was fast, but I had much more to do and still have a lot of plans and dreams which are yet to be brought to real life.
