What is the greatest mistake you’ve ever made?

I think the thing that has really caused me the greatest guilt was not choosing Fine Arts as my college course.

It was so complicated. It looked like I had no other option from the offset (the beginning of college), but to choose a course in which I actually could get a job. My dream would be fulfilled if I took Fine Arts, if not only for a talent test by which I would be rejected or admitted to the college.

I fought with myself a lot about whether choosing Linguistics was right or wrong, because I kind of felt it was boring. However, if ¨boring¨ actually meant real parties, outings, clubs, lifelong friends and a sense of purpose, I think it really just meant I was preparing for the real world and a job.

Anyway, Iḿ really grateful for my professors who were unusually forgiving, kind and supportive. If the world isn´t that good of a place, I found people that truly cared.

I miss my friends Jinko, Babylyn, Dianne, Marichelle and others. I´ll really miss Ma´am Ria, Bae-Seonsaengnim, Ma´am Flori and Sir Nolasco. They were great people and true inspirations.

I think that as my time in college ended, and my friends and I are finally off to chasing our dreams on our own as young twentysomethings, I think it really wasn´t the worst mistake to choose the ¨wrong¨ college course.
