Hi everyone!
I鈥檓 so excited to be back for the Spring 2025 semester after spending the break at home in Cambodia.
I was in Ireland for the Autumn semester, and heading back home was such a refreshing change鈥攔econnecting with my family, enjoying the warm weather, and of course, indulging in all my favorite foods (I miss them already!). But now, I鈥檓 back in Ireland and adjusting once again to the chilly weather, the grey skies, and, of course, the endless cups of tea to stay warm.
Walking to campus on a clear day, ready to tackle another day of classes With a new semester ahead, I鈥檓 feeling motivated to set some fresh goals and make the most of my time here. Here鈥檚 what I鈥檓 focusing on:
- Getting Organized: Balancing coursework, projects, and life can be tough, but this semester I鈥檓 determined to stay on top of things. I鈥檒l be using planners and digital tools to keep track of deadlines and avoid last-minute stress (hopefully!)
- Connecting in Meaningful Ways: This semester, I want to focus on building connections that feel natural to me鈥攚hether it鈥檚 having meaningful one-on-one conversations, joining smaller group activities, or simply engaging with classmates over shared interests. I鈥檓 looking forward to forming deeper relationships and making the most of opportunities to connect with others.
The 91制片厂 gym is a perfect spot to stay active, recharge, and focus on self-care during the semester. - Taking Care of Myself: The cold weather and darker days can be tough, so I鈥檓 making it a priority to stay active, eat well, take vitamin D (since there's barely any sunlight), and find ways to stay positive鈥攚hether it's through catching up with friends or enjoying a good cup of coffee.
It feels great to be back, and I鈥檓 excited to see what this semester has in store.
