Hello there!
Here is where I am at in my life: I just finished highschool, and I am about to move abroad to a foreign country for university this coming September. As of now, there are a few months between me not needing to worry about exams and me going off to university. Hence, I am starting this ‘#blog’ to sort of document my life right now, the things that I do now that the stress and burden of exams has finally been (temporarily) lifted off my shoulders. But first, a bit of context about who I am first:
Who am I?
I am a student who just finished highschool and is about to enter my university days in September 2023. My pseudonym is Blupaca, and I will be writing under this name in the future.
Where am I from?
I was born and raised in South-East Asia for my whole life. However, I will soon be moving to the UK for my undergrad in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Why did I decide to start a blog?
Since I have completed my final exams, I have a lot of extra time on my hands and thus I decided to check off one of the things that have been on my to-do list for a long time: starting a blog. This blog will be used to document my life, my thoughts and my feelings, all encapsulated into neatly written blog posts. It will certainly be fun to look back at all of these posts in the future, decades from now, and cringe at how teenage me views the world around him.
I would also like to specially mention Ali Abdaal for inspiring me to start this blog. Without him I would have never taken this step, or at least not this soon.
What will I be posting in the future?
What I post will hugely depend on what I am interested in during that time, so my blog posts will vary from time to time as I move through different phases of my life.
Here is what you can expect me to post in the next few months:
1. How I am preparing for my uni life
Since I am about to embark on my uni journey soon, I will be documenting how I am currently preparing for university. It can range from me researching new equipment to get or learning how to cook simple one-pot meals that will definitely be useful for an independent university life.
2. Learning the programming language C
One of the things I wanted to do during this period of time is to learn a new skill, and I have been wanting to learn a programming language since forever. I do have a little bit of experience with Python, but it is really just the beginner level and I have forgotten about most of it. I would like to start over with C, and see (I mustered all my mental strength to resist the urge to make a pun here) where it leads to.
3. My life!
Yeah I will also document some of my thoughts and feelings from mundane daily encounters. It could be random shower thoughts or rants, giving you a glimpse of the view of the world through my eyes.
And before you go:
Let us hope that I will be consistent in publishing blog posts and documenting where I am in my life right now. May this journey of self-discovery begin.
