079: things I have been doing

Assalammualaikum.

Welp, it has been a while - and I have the audacity to come back lol. I was busy with school works that I barely got time to even breath lol. Anyhow, here I am after a few months - unofficially graduated from IIUM. Pretty anxious I would say because last semester really got me by the throat, especially one of the subjects. 

Life has been crazy. Plans arranged; some doing pretty well, a lot got cancelled. But it is life, and to breathe and still feel alive despite the occasional 'emptiness' and hollows in between - it goes on :) 

I have so many things I wanna do by the time I graduated. I wanna draw more. I wanna learn doing digital illustration. I even got myself a drawing tablet! Hehehe. I want to continue learning another language - perhaps Korean or Dutch/German. But I end up not feeling doing it anymore.

The audacity. I know~

It has been three weeks since I last submitted my final assessment. I spent the first few days resting. Hahaha. I sleep, I watch drama and movies, I read novels. By the fifth days, I'm already bored. I applied for a few jobs, got called for an interview and accepted on the same day because it is immediate hiring. Yet, I decided to reject the offer due to personal reasons (I talked about rejecting the offer with the interviewee as he proposed it to me first in case I am not satisfied with the workload actually) - not kidding, I would love to work there. I know I am going to have fun in that company doing things I love. 

Adulting calls for hard decisions, apparently.

I actually send a message to my group of friends saying how exhausted I am living without not knowing what to do. It's like - after graduating, what's next? I don't know what to do - I mean, do we only have those two choices; studying or working? Before this, I can confidently answer - definitely not studying, for now. I need work cause I need money to pay my loan lol. I do not have the luxury to rest and earn no money tsk. But then, these days I keep feeling anxious over not having anything to do. 

I had friends asking help for me to review their materials for a job interview - and despite having no problems helping them, it gets me anxious.

Of being jobless. 
Of competition some more. 

So, after thinking - I finally decided to do what I do best; focus on my own self-growth. LinkedIn is not good for my mental health, same goes to social media - I end up using my stan account on Twitter and studygram more because it helps me a lot. From stan account, I managed to make a number of friends with strangers that do not only share the same love towards music, but also emotional support and tips dealing with adulthood lol #UNIVERSE #ALICE #GOLDENNESS haha.

For now, I'm thinking of using my studygram for language studies and bujo-ing purpose. I will be here more frequent too cause I need to keep writing in case I forgot how exciting sharing my thoughts to people are! Let's pray for better content XD

And that's all for now.

Let's hope things will get better, for us!

    First of all, congratulations for being done and over with your studiessss!!! It must have been such a tough journey for you, what with covid and all, but you made it!

    To be honest, this post really relates to me as well, I'm somewhat stuck in between. I think I have potential, but I wonder if others can see it or I have to push myself to become better. It's a confusing phase to be in and I'm already in my mid-20s so time is ticking for me to make up my mind, at least, that's how it is for me.

    For now, I'm going to do whatever I can to fill up my time while I wait for new opportunities to come up. hehe Take care, stay safe!

      Thank you! Looking back, I just could not believe myself :')

      It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who has the same worries as I am.

      Take care and stay safe too!
