Why University Feels Like a Mini Version of Life Itself.
This prepective has changed how I view life. Here’s why
I believe that the four years of undergraduate studies are a transformative experience for anyone who has had the chance to pursue higher education.
Even though, as it appears from the name, undergraduate studies might seem like a way to specialize in a certain field of interest and nothing more, those who have actually experienced being an undergraduate student might add that the learnings are not just limited to one’s field. Rather, it’s a holistic experience that shapes one’s perspective on professional life, at least, if not life as a whole.This is exactly what happened to me after I completed four years of education.
But before I actually mention that one life-changing perspective that my undergraduate experience gave me, let me take you to the start.
Four years ago, I was just another kid with a passion for science and very optimistic aspirations for myself. I was like any other 18-year-old, full of potential yet blank as a brand-new page, ready to prepare myself for life through experience.
