Stuff I'm Thankful For: Strength for Tuesdays

Tuesdays are the hardest days of my week - eleven hours at college, and the only break is lunch time!


(this is my second home right now)

My average Tuesday starts with waking up at 6:40 and rushing to college to start with Anatomy at 8... and it ends at 8 pm, with me landing in bed, exhausted, after my nerve-wracking BIDS class (it's basically building data bases and stuff like that)
It's obviously not my favourite day of the week, and every Monday night all I can think is 'I can't believe I'll go through a Tuesday tomorrow'. But then I remember: that's not good. There are good things in Tuesdays and I know I can make them great days!

Every Tuesday, I'm thankful for:
- another day when I have the chance to study what I love the most. I am so very much in love with my degree, even the hardest parts of it!
- lunchtime, when I get to eat delicious food at the mall nearby and spend two hours hanging out with my new friends! 
- getting to know people at college better. I spend a whole day around my class, so there's a lot of time to figure out those new people!
- going home feeling physically and psychologically drained, and knowing that I'm giving all of me so that I can be a doctor someday and help people.

What makes you thankful in your hardest days?

love,
Mariana

New Beginnings

Here's to new beginnings, to scary challenges and to breaking out of our safe bubble!




I'm sorry for the lack of posts through the last week, but starting college can be overwhelming - thoughts and prayers are appreciated!

First Post Ever

(I clearly have no idea how to run a blog - but don't worry! I'm a quick learner)


My name is Mariana. I'm eighteen years old and I just finished high school. Just like that, I'm expected to be an adult, without any warning. And that scares me a lot. That is one of the reasons why I'm starting this blog - as a way to express myself through this journey.

Ever since ninth grade, I've felt this calling to help people, to make the world a better place by healing what can be healed - that's why I chose to study Medicine. I believe that it's a part of God's plan for me, and that feeling keeps me motivated through the hardest times.

I also love music, books (reading and writing), cinema, and especially traveling! I shall also post some thoughts about my past trips and those I'm going to do.

Thank you for reading this brief introduction to this very simple blog!

love,
Mariana
