What Lies Ahead in the Vision of My Future

I can’t believe how time flies so fast. It was just like yesterday when I was just a wee first year student in the Accountancy Program, and then had a big shift to the Psychology Program during my second year. It won’t be long until I’m going to enroll myself as a third year Psychology student, and clearly, there are things that I’m expecting that is going to make my brain explode. But nevertheless there are times that I’m expecting make my third year life more memorable and heart-warming. To tell everyone the truth I wasn't expecting much of what is to come when I turn third year. I mean, it’s another year level for everyone – especially to us, Psychology students – to overcome in order to attend the graduation on time when we turn fourth year. It was nothing of a “Big Bang” for me until I started remembering my friends in the third year (of course they are going to turn fourth year this year). I remember the trials, hardships and joys they have all experienced during their third year life and maybe I can use that as an inspiration for me to see a somewhat clear vision of the future of what is in stored for me in my third year life.
My third year friends, how should I say this, endured a very stressful year that is full of blood, sweat and tears. Days of sleepless nights and bloodshot eyes just to turn in a very good paper for their final requirement in their major subjects. From that moment on, I got a glimpse of what is going to be my life when I take over their shoes. I’m seeing sleepless nights and bloodshot eyes just to pass the best paper that I can muster (since I’m talking of papers right now, I think I’m going to make a best friend out of paper since my teachers will be asking from us lots of paperwork). I’m also expecting a lot of activity planning that is going to add to our stressful days. As I can recall, my third year friends had a lot of activities that they planned, Psychology Week, and their final exam for Social Psychology to name a few. When I see it, there are days that sometimes because of the many things that are expected from you by both your teachers and peers, you have that ecstatic feeling that you want to give up.
A lot needs to be furnished from us since after third year we are going to turn fourth year and after that the real world. Our teachers wants us to prepare of what is to come in the real world and they are training us as early as being in the third year (and some traces during my second year). Yet not everything that I’m expecting in my third year life will be as the hell it may sound. Of course because of those requirements and planning process, I saw friendships and bonds forged from the fire of hardships and teamwork. I saw a character slowly building within them that makes them feel very good and confident about whatever things that may undertake. This is what I am expecting when I turn third year, this is what I see my life is like for me and my classmates. I can clearly see bonds that are formed, new friends to hold on and the formation of a character and a personality that sends off an aura saying “I don’t care what the outside world throws at me because I can take it all.” It is because of these things that give you yet another ecstatic feeling that you never want to quit school or your teachers and peers.
Clearly this just a bird’s-eye view of what is stored for me and my classmates. The future is unbounded and never definite so there are some side trips and side-winds along the way. The important thing to remember is that whenever you fall down, just stand up, never give up the fight and keeping moving forward to the very future you desire.
