Summer\ndays come like that exciting TV episode that you\u2019ve so long-awaited for, saying\ngoodbye to all the deadlines, the planning, all of those afternoons spent at\nthe library trying to concentrate and \u201cstudy\u201d. You forget about those nights\nwhen you went out and were counting the hours left until you had to go to an\nearly-morning lecture, you forget. About the schedules, the commitments and the\nstressing over what food-like creation you can come up with next when the only\nthing left in your pantry are baked beans and instant soup and that trip to the\ngrocery store is way overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer\ncomes as a fresh promise of freedom, fun and relaxing days, whether it is spent\nback home with friends and family, travelling around the globe or perhaps\nworking or experiencing something new. Slowly the days seem fewer, and before\nyou know it, September is right around the corner, and it is time to go \u201cback\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back\nto your studies, your part-time job and fending for yourself in terms of\ncooking, cleaning, and making sure you get a decent amount of sleep. But it is\nalso going back to seeing friendly faces and catching up with classmates and\nfriends. Back to new opportunities, with a chance to be better, to be bolder,\nto be the best version of yourself. Whether that includes joining a new club or\nsociety, talking to that person you\u2019ve been eyeing out since 1st<\/sup>\nyear or working on succeeding at organising your studies. It is a time to turn\na new page, and take it all in, for when people say \u201cUniversity days can be the\nbest of your life\u201d they forget to mention that it\u2019s up to you to take a chance,\nhead to that party you were nervous about going, say no for a change and do\nwhat is best for you and start checking the boxes on your personal goals for\nthe year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, when it\u2019s time for me to board that plane with destination Scotland, I\u2019ll be reflecting on all these things, and I invite you to do too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By: Conchita Fraguas Bringas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer days come like that exciting TV episode that you\u2019ve so long-awaited for, saying goodbye to all the deadlines, the planning, all of those afternoons spent at the library trying to concentrate and \u201cstudy\u201d.
