Once again I find myself back here on blogspot. It's been over a year since I've technically blogged - seeing as I highly doubt anyone, including myself, counts Tumblr as a serious blogging platform (not to say that this is going to be serious either.
Let me begin by introducing myself. Hiiiii, I'm Calum.
But seriously - my name is Calum Patrick, I'm a 19 year old student from Adelaide, South Australia. I'm a first year student of Interior Architecture at the University of South Australia, and ultimately this is probably the reason why this blog has been created - because I have no freaking clue what I'm doing.
After yet another horrendously stressful week at uni - stressful only due to the fact that I left all my assignments to the last second once again - I've now found myself wondering what all this stress is for. I sit in my lectures and I am inspired and motivated to learn and to work on so many great things, and work towards such a good career that has the possibility to be what I do for the rest of my life. But sitting in my classes, with my fellow classmates, my competitors who are going to be going for the same spots in electives, the same place in masters, the same positions in offices- It just makes me wonder if I deserve any of whats to come, or even if it will come my way.
I consider myself an extremely lucky person. I've had so many opportunities that have really just been handed to me. I want to show my gratitude, I want to show how thankful I am for what I have and have been given; though I just don't know how. Is it to stick in at uni and get a well paid job? Is it to spend as much time with family as I can? Is it to travel the world?
This is just my inaugural whinge, who knows where this will go, who knows what will come of this.
People always say 'Just be yourself', but really, who am I?
Calum
