It's already April. It's hard to believe four months have already passed since the beginning of the year. As the sands of the hourglass of my exchange semester start slowly slipping away, I'm starting to realize how time can fly by when you live in the moment (as cheesy as this sounds). But really, ever since I flew to Asia on a one way ticket, I had no expectations as to what I would be doing at all. Little did I know something I got myself into so spontaneously would turn out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Surprisingly, even between studying, traveling and just checking out Hong Kong, I've been feeling more laid back than ever.
If I were in Montreal right now, I would probably be stressing about finishing some assignment or studying for my first final I haven't opened the textbook for yet and stressingggggggg more. I usually easily get fixated on deadlines and stressed about everything. Looking back, most of these things were probably not worth thinking so much about. Everyday, we constantly worry about so many little details but when you get down to the nitty-gritty, you'll probably realize that these little things are most likely going to be irrelevant in a few weeks, months or years from now. Thinking about how someone will react to something you said, doing poorly on an exam, not acing an interview, being jobless after graduation. They're all things you could worry about, but what good does it bring you to put so much thought in something that may never happen? A quote says that "worrying is paying the interest on a debt that you may not owe." It's true, constantly stressing over everything leads nowhere. Despite an eventful past few weeks, I have found myself feeling more careless and worrying much less in general. Obviously, technically being on an extended vacay/ exchange and surrounded by people with the same chilled out attitude helps a lot. However, it's definitely a feeling I hope to carry back home.
