I am about to finish my dissertation proposal which will mark the end of my second year at university. This, I believe, is the ideal time for some more self-reflection (or procrastination, if you wish).

I noticed how often I have started reflecting on the things I do. It seems to be a good thing to do: not only have I started appreciating every single moment, but it also helps me learn fast from my mistakes.
One of the most important events in the last few months was that I started work as a Marketing Guru at Timefinity Group – an incubator for ideas for technical solutions that save time. The team is great and the work is quite interesting, as it allows me to learn a lot about corporate blogging and building up a whole marketing strategy from scratch. I get to do things that not a lot of students can actually implement in real life. All those skills will “look great on my CV” (as they say about everything from the Careers Service), but more importantly, they give me insights in something completely different from journalism.
I will have the opportunity to make an informed decision whether to go into PR and marketing or to follow the plan which since the second grade has been to be a journalist. The idea that I will soon have to decide which way to take is slightly scaring, but for some reason somehow I am pretty sure that everything will happen in the best possible way.
In Timefinity we talk a lot about time and how important it is. That always makes me wonder why it flies so fast. Why can’t I go back a couple of years ago and relieved them again? I will hardly change anything, but it will be incredible to be there, knowing that those times won’t come back.
The same applies for today! Today will be gone in a couple of hours and it won’t come back! Probably this time next year, I will be regretting why didn’t I appreciate the time I had to write my dissertation proposal more; why didn’t I make the most out of it?
That is why I am going back to the books now and you can go and check how many jelly beans you have left for your life time! : )
Today won’t come back.
