Coming back to college...as have to be .🚐🏫🎓


There were passed 2 years since the colleges around the country had to be forced to close their facilities due to the pandemic, the freshman students doesn't know-how was to entry to the college and some students were obligated to graduate online. In my city, there are two big universities, both of them were closed during this time.


When the pandemic struggle our lives, I was working at my university, as part of the staff of platform development of the college, but this occurrence dropped all my work there. I always asked myself, when the activities would return to normal again. Then a lot of time, the date finally came.


This week the return of the normal activities at my alma mater was a special event, all the students and personnel that work at the college was finally reunited as having to be. Inside my college, there were a lot of things that it changes, some new places they constructed when they closed their facilities, new and renewed classrooms, equipped with new accessories and electronic boards, a new bus station, and free spaces to enjoy the view that my new college offers.


The ambient was surrounded by new feelings and expectations, it feels like something weird because when you pass a lot of time far away from a place, it feels strange in some way. But, at the time, it feels as if the nostalgia knocked on the door of your hearth.


I expect that this new beginning there would be a new pleasant experience, full of all the previous things that the pandemic snatch us, and all of you enjoy this new place and could approach this richest experience that only offers a place like a college.


I hope all of you can enjoy this time at college as much as I did when I was a student. My best wishes.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
