Past, present & future investments

Sometimes when im at uni in my tutes, you know those really boring ones. I phase out completely and delve in the past. Call me counterproductive, its not that I hold onto the past per se, rather I like to look back and reflect on how far ive come and contrast it with my life now. Seeing what ive learnt about my character and how i've developed in that time.

I think its good - *cough way of procrastinating* haha

Recently I was taken aback to the days of high school. Now that I think about it, not that long ago I was in year twelve and even though its only been two years since then, in a matter of months I will be going out on clinical placements too; prescribing REAL treatments and rehab exercises to REAL patients.

Side note: Im kinda glad im studying physio. Reassuring to know that at least I cant really kill someone with exercise. Haha

And to think that some of my friends wil be graduating next year and will be out working in the real world soon after. How absurd is that?!
Thats so cool.

But at the same time, I feel for people who dont really know what they want to do or are unsure of where their course will take them. Iono so many people I know are so fixated on this endgame strategy which is to graduate from their course quickly so they can enter the workforce, earn money and move on with their next stage in life.

I was talking to my friend C. the other day and we were talking about how much we enjoyed our courses and the aspects of it we hated.

It then occured to me, the fact that we as students actually spend so little time studying in the fields that we hope or anticipate we will be working in in the future. For an area which we will be stuck in for at least 30-35 years, 4-5 years is like nothing.  

My moral? I dont know. But for what its worth, it would probably be worthwhile spending a little more time in uni making an investment in discovering the things you really enjoy even if that means changing courses over and over and over again.

Don't you think? 

Choo.
