Things I've learnt at the end of the 3rd year of college:

Here are the previous year's write- ups:

"Things I've learnt at the end of the 1st year of college" & "The Things I've learnt at the end of the second year of college."

The second time I wrote with theme, last year, I did it knowing that I'd be doing it again this year. But e one and a half months after college has closed for the last time in my undergraduate degree, I kept putting it off simply because I was sad that college was over, scared about the future and generally not trusting of God. Or maybe because I "failed" to come through at different situations, more often than the previous years (at least in my often self-critical eyes ._.).

However, because we all mess up sometimes -this is going to be put up, so here goes.

1. That I need to dwell on the perks of right now! I got to learn how to ride a bike and get my license last year, and fun as it is- it takes responsibility to use it. And I got a bike the right time, without even asking for it - which I'm not saying to brag about it, I'm saying that we are where we are placed for a purpose, and maybe we can only handle so much. When we are ready to handle it, we'll get where we want to be. There's no need to try to scramble towards getting into things too soon. We need to dwell on the perks of right now..
2. We were not made to go through life alone. 
3. Childhood dreams don't have to die! 
4.  Just because you love somebody, you don't have to do everything they tell you to do. Unless they are God, they cannot know what is best for you. I've learned to trust God first, and then myself.
5.  I could never "love" or "trust" anybody- friend, relative or stranger- without Loving and Trusting God with all of me - strangely, this has proved to be the only way I can love anybody at all. I have tried to love people with all of me, without God and have only failed.
6. Just because it feels like your stuck, it doesn't mean that things aren't going to change. So keep on hoping!
7. Worry gets me no where good. And it gets me there fast. The best way to live is to not worry about tomorrow. The best way to prepare for tomorrow is by focusing to today's work. 
8. "Commitments" and "rules" have sounded terrible to me all of my life. But now, suddenly it's dawned on me, that it's the only way to be truly free. For example - with love, I don't need to choose to marry until someday I am sure and certain that I can trust and love someone enough to give of myself fully to that person. It's sort of an All or Nothing principle, which is the only way it works. Otherwise, it's hurt and heart break that is left behind. Does that make sense? 
9. I don't have to obsess over and control God about how has He uses me. He knows how and is completely capable of looking for me and using me for His purposes. Me worrying about it is like a remote control worrying about being in the right place to be used by me.
