Hi! My name is Amelia, I’m 18, and I’m just beginning my journey. I’m a first-year student — I don’t fully know who I’ll become yet, but I know for sure that I want to search for meaning, ask questions, and not pass by life pretending that everything is already clear.
University turned out to be nothing like I imagined. There are no familiar boundaries here — only freedom, which sometimes inspires and sometimes frightens. No one holds your hand or reminds you that it’s time to grow up. You simply wake up in the morning and decide who you’re going to be today — brave or confused, focused or honestly tired.
I love the walk to campus — with my headphones on, surrounded by people, each living their own separate story. In my bag there’s always a notebook with scattered thoughts, a phone full of notes, and the feeling that something important is about to turn into words. I believe that writing can be a way to breathe — quietly, but truly.Find a balance between “I don’t care at all” and “I care way too much
