In the vortex of three girls' thoughts

After the summer has passed so quickly and the new academic year has begun, we return to talking to ourselves again. It seems such an easy thing - after all, we think a lot every day and spend most of our time with ourselves, but thinking carefully about what you would like to ask yourself and how to answer it is a difficult task. More than one person who has had to be in such a situation has said that it was really difficult, but interesting, something new and with a unique experience. So, after interviewing these three girls, let's practice with ourselves... after all, it's a unique opportunity to learn more about a person. Let the thoughts speak for themselves!

 Some of the biggest weaknesses are bright, colored pants/tights, chocolate and watches

  • They don't eat zeppelins, kugel, štiliboršči, potato pancakes - because of this they often hear: "What do you eat altogether?" Not at all like a Lithuanian"
  • The motto that guides you: "As you shout, so will you answer"
  • Instead of alcohol, he chooses chocolate milk drink "Meow"
  • Favorite movie "The Lion King"

 

Did I imagine that I would study at Vytautas the Great University and study biotechnology?

First of all, I never really thought that I would enroll and study here. Since childhood, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, I thought that I would be able to enter there and the big dream of a child would come true. However, when the results of the first round of admissions to higher education were announced, I realized that that dream had abandoned me after all. It seemed as if on purpose that year, everyone planned to enter where I wanted, because there had never been such a competition there before. I had also written biotechnology as a possible option, but I had not yet delved deeply into what kind of specialty it was. So when I saw the invitation to study it at Vytautas the Great University, I wasn't too happy. However, even before the announcement of the admission results, I said to myself: "It's fate, it's fate." Where I will enroll, therefore, it was destined." So, remembering my words, I decided to try to "take a risk" - to enroll and study here. What can I say now, after the first course has passed and the second academic year has begun, I don't really regret my "taking a risk" at least for now. Although studies are not the easiest, they are interesting and not boring. Working in labs in white coats makes me feel just elated at all! And speaking of the atmosphere of the university itself - I don't know if I would feel any better, freer, braver now!

How is my memory?

I remember dates and numbers very quickly and well, and I have a visual memory. When I need to learn or remember something, the best way for me to do it is to look directly at the information sheet. After looking at it for a while and then closing my eyes, I just see the image I saw before, all that information. Even now, I vividly remember what it looked like in the 9th grade biology textbook ("Human Biology and Health"). I remember that the topic was about muscles - on the right page of opening the book it was written about myofibrils, types of muscles, I remember pictures, colors, and the sequence of the topic was 2.4. I know it may sound crazy, but that's what memory is, if you don't believe me, check it out!

What do I value most in people?

Because I value the sincerity and honesty of a person the most, when you can communicate with him openly and normally; understanding and appreciation; the ability to think positively, to see positive things, without burdening both others and oneself with difficult and negative thoughts; I also highly value the ability to speak at the right time and place, because if one does not speak at the right place and at the wrong time, then a person falls in my eyes, and if they fall at least once, it will be difficult for them to get up or they will not be able to do it at all.

What magical power would I like to have?

If I had some kind of power from somewhere... If I could choose, I would choose flying! Brutally it would be fun to fly freely in the sky like a bird wherever you want to travel!

  • I love fries
  • I believe in unicorns
  • I love inspiring people
  • The most pleasant sound is the rustling of leaves
  • I write everything down and save it

After thinking for a long time where to start, I decided - with what makes me happy. I love life! Now I'm sitting in my blue room, printing scattered letters and feeling so good inside.. I'm surrounded by so many unique people, the schedule is pressed by an excess of activities and even if sometimes I feel a little helpless.. I'm enjoying it! Because I feel alive.

I've always wanted to be a personal kick in the butt, so I hope to take this opportunity to inspire someone with this rambling rambling. I keep thinking - how important it is to be true to yourself. Do what you want, try to achieve your goals. This is what uncles said many times on TV, many times aunts wrote about it in magazines. So what if after reading a motivational message, you continue to sit with your smart box and waste your time? And console yourself that from Monday it will be different! And what does Monday change? Or the first day of the month? And yet what a selfless act to fatten a sloth in YOUR own time! If you feel unhappy - don't be afraid of change, put yourself on a diet and achieve your goals. Unless he makes you happy, then continue to be lazy.

And right now, I have a thousand or so thoughts in my head and it seems that I still want to write so much! About how I have changed in the last two years of study, what plans I have for the future, what I did productively today, how amazing food fries are or how funny the word "prize" is. Imagine the confusion I have to live with. But it's so good!

 

HYDRAULIC HANDLE

 

  • I can't cook, but I really like food
  • I always set my alarm an hour before I actually need to get up because I love 5 minute snoozes
  • Most say that my laugh is like a whale or like a siren
  • I really don't like it when people are late

 

Are erasmus can change life?

And yes and no. If you think that after going to Erasmus the rest of your life in Lithuania will change drastically, you won't have the same friends anymore, your family won't understand you at all, and your native land won't be nice - I can tell you from my experience that this is not the case for everyone. You will only lose friends that you would have lost anyway sooner or later - erasmus in which case it remains only an excuse. The family will not understand you, although they rarely do anyway, so don't make a tragedy out of it. And the fact that you will not miss Lithuania and want to return to the place where you spent half a year is a very good saying: "everywhere is good where we are not". It's just that we ourselves have to take care of our well-being and not any Seimas or president, but we ourselves are responsible for what and how much we have.

When I was little, how did I imagine a 21-year-old girl?

When I still liked to climb trees and build sandcastles, I was always quietly jealous of my older neighbor and dreamed of growing up as soon as possible. The older children in the yard seemed so completely independent and independent, they don't have to report to their parents where and with whom they were, they can buy whatever they want in the store with pocket money. In other words, then I was very jealous of them and wondered how it would be fine, when I will be independent and my mother won't ask who and where I was with, won't let me take a nap and the like. But now that I'm at that age, when the little girls I used to be called my aunt sometimes, sometimes I even miss those calls from my mother asking what I'm doing and how I'm doing, I miss that feeling when I don't have to bother you of your budget so that you have money to pay for the dorm, food and also the trip home. That indescribable nostalgia really hits you when you think about the afternoon nap that you would give anything for now, and in those days, it was the ultimate punishment.

What are my faults that I would like to change?

Excessive emotionality and inability to distance yourself from minor problems. I'm the kind of person who always takes things to heart. Sometimes it may seem that I don't even hear the criticism that others say to me, but I always hear it and after that I rethink a hundred times what was wrong. I just often burden my head with things I really shouldn't. If something doesn't work out, I struggle a lot and think a lot about what I could have done differently, and the other person in such a situation would simply ignore it and try again until it succeeds. I would really like to learn to look at things in a much simpler way, and I really sincerely hope that I can!

 

So how did you like it? It's really interesting for me to travel inside people, telling them themselves. You learn different things that normally you might never know or even think about. I don't know about you, but I have different thoughts after that. Sometimes I even start thinking to myself, so what would I like to ask myself? So this time, that's it. Wishing you a beautiful autumn, a productive beginning of the school year, and happy thoughts flowing freely!

It is a secret medieval student festival that dates back to the very first years of the university's existence in the city of Kaunas. It is characterized by its…
