This Year

Merry Christmas!

Today I'd like to talk about my 2016. This year has been evidently different from the others, the reason? This year I became an architecture student, the type of person who doesn’t have enough sleep and wears black all the time, being my first year of university I’ve been trying to get used to it, to do the same things I did last year but also complete all the tasks.

When this year started I know it would be an important one: My brother gave me a ticket for a Coldplay’s concert as a Christmas present, he bought two tickets so we went together and we were in the front row, I never thought I’d be so close to Chris Martin. That concert meant to much to me because when I was younger (around 12 years old) my brother said that I had to stop picking bad concert seats because I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the show which sometimes are mainly made for people who are closer to the stage, he mentioned that when he was a teenager he went to a Coldplay’s concert and it was the most amazing concert ever, the stage was amazing and the whole thing was unforgettable.  I wished so much that they came back so I could see what he was talking about. They did and my brother was right. The experience was unbelievable, the colors of the bracelets, Chris Martin’s talent and the colored balloons floating! I couldn’t believe what I was experiencing.

Also this year had its ups and downs, last semester was amazing because I started quite skeptical, I wasn’t sure of what I was doing but then, after a few projects I realised that architecture is actually what I want to study. It wasn’t an easy semester, it became really difficult sometimes and it made me breakdown a few times because I thought I wasn’t good enough and I was running out of ideas. Luckily I made it through it and now I feel very proud of what I achieved.

Now that this year is coming to an end and I’ve been busy thinking about my final project, doing some sheets and buying Christmas presents, I realise how much I’ve grown up, I’m not saying that I feel more mature but I feel like I know so much more than before. I met incredible people this year, I learnt to work as a team, to help people and to let them help me. Even when this year hasn’t been the best one, I wouldn’t like to forget it.

Happy Holidays! :)
