Something no one told before college!!!✨🥹

Today, many people may "grow up confused every day."

"The university made it known that

Sometimes surviving a day is exhausting. "

Things that no one left before going to college

* Nobody says making new friends is exhausting

* No one says that some days will be lonely for a lot of people around you

* No one says group work will measure more than ability.

* No one says growing up has to make almost every decision.

* Nobody says you're good at studying every day.

* No one says "freedom" comes with pressure.

* No one said they'd start thinking about home on the tightest day

* Nobody said some friends only came in for a moment

* Nobody said we'd feel so lost sometimes

* No one says taking care of one's heart is as important as a grade.

* No one said that rest would become a guilt.

* Nobody says they won't even have the strength to answer Chat some day.

* No one says that many talented people cry too

* No one says growing up is harboring feelings better

* No one says we're starting to fear the future for no reason

* No one says sometimes having to smile very tired

* No one said that some relationships gradually disappeared.

* No one says having friends doesn't mean being lonely.

* No one said we'd start comparing ourselves to others more often

* Nobody says there's trouble times, so many times I have to take care of it all.

* No one said staying up late would become normal

* No one said normal-looking sessions could be the most exhausting.

* No one says spending money is more stressful than they think.

* Nobody said there would be a day when I didn't want to do anything

* No one says that being an adult is going to be tired.

* Nobody says "it's okay" is lying to themselves sometimes

* No one says self-confidence disappears so easily

* No one says grown up crying quietly more often

* No one says some days just survive and get tired.

* No one said we'd start thinking more about the ordinary moments of the past.

🥰 there are many things that no one tells before going to college.

But in the end, we'll learn it ourselves. 🤍

You don't have to be good from day one. You don't have to adjust to everything.

Everyone was scared. They were lost before, too.

College may not be easy.

But she will gradually grow, of course:)

... Read moreการเริ่มต้นชีวิตในมหาวิทยาลัยเป็นช่วงเวลาที่เต็มไปด้วยความท้าทายและการเรียนรู้ใหม่ ๆ ที่ไม่มีใครบอกล่วงหน้าอย่างชัดเจน สำหรับผมแล้ว การเข้าเรียนในมหาลัยไม่ได้เป็นเพียงแค่การเรียนรู้วิชาการเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นการเรียนรู้ที่จะรับมือกับความรู้สึกเหนื่อยล้า ความเหงา และความกดดันด้วย หลายครั้งที่ผมรู้สึกว่าการหาเพื่อนใหม่มันยากกว่าที่คิด เพราะต้องเปิดใจและพยายามสร้างความสัมพันธ์ในสภาพแวดล้อมใหม่ที่ไม่คุ้นเคย บางครั้งก็รู้สึกโดดเดี่ยวกลางกลุ่มคนจำนวนมาก อีกทั้งงานกลุ่มที่ไม่ใช่เพียงแค่ความสามารถ แต่ต้องพึ่งพาโชคชะตาและความเข้ากันของสมาชิกในทีมด้วย ความอิสระในมหาวิทยาลัยมาพร้อมกับความรับผิดชอบที่มากขึ้น ต้องตัดสินใจหลายอย่างด้วยตัวเอง และบางคนอาจจะยังไม่พร้อมด้วยซ้ำ การดูแลใจตัวเองให้ดีเท่ากับการใส่ใจเรื่องเกรด เพราะถ้าหากจิตใจเราไม่พร้อมก็ยากที่จะเรียนรู้และพัฒนาไปได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ผมยังจำได้ดีว่าช่วงเวลาที่เหนื่อยสุด ๆ นั้น มักจะเป็นช่วงที่คิดถึงบ้านมากที่สุด บางครั้งแค่การอยู่ให้ครบวันก็เป็นความสำเร็จที่น่าภาคภูมิใจแล้ว สังคมในมหาวิทยาลัยเปลี่ยนแปลงตลอดเวลา ความสัมพันธ์บางอย่างค่อย ๆ หายไป และเราเองก็เริ่มเปรียบเทียบตัวเองกับผู้อื่นบ่อยขึ้น แต่สิ่งสำคัญคือการรู้จักรักและยอมรับตัวเองในทุกสถานการณ์ สุดท้ายแล้ว การเรียนรู้และเติบโตในมหาวิทยาลัยไม่ใช่เรื่องง่าย แต่ทุกปัญหา ความเหนื่อย และความสับสน จะกลายเป็นบทเรียนที่ทำให้เราเข้มแข็งขึ้นได้ ขอเพียงไม่เร่งรีบ และให้เวลากับตัวเองในการปรับตัว เพราะเราทุกคนต่างเคยผ่านช่วงเวลาแบบนี้มาด้วยกัน
