Hello Diamond lovers! Welcome back to Diamond Blog. This post, will maybe find you in Greece, UK, USA, Europe, Asia. From wherever you are, I am glad you’re here. As I’m writing this article, I’ve opened my Word and started writing. I’m currently on the plane, on my way to the UK. And, if you want me to be completely honest, I couldn’t be happier.

I named this article a little more creatively than the other ones. The reason for that is, that my creativity of this article’s title, is a reality, for me. As I’ve already shared the news with you via my Instagram stories, I successfully managed to get accepted at the University of Essex. One of my greatest dreams, actually became a reality, through tons of hard work, dedication, will and determination. What I will be studying, is Biomedical Science. One of the many, actually, fields that interest me. I’ve told you and I’ve also been telling myself for years, that I wish to study something related to medicine and health.

I’ve always been a person that loved to help others in any situation. That is why, I chose the science field, after all. Through Biomedical Science, Genetics, and everything else hidden behind the scenes of drug making, I want to raise awareness and help as many people as possible, by finding cures that are yet to be found, or creating a better future and a better life with the power of Biology and Chemistry.

I know it’s very sudden and uncommon of me to talk about myself here, because I actually never do. If you’re a frequent reader, you know that my articles are usually about traveling, fashion, study tips. But, I’m going to be honest here. It is very uncomfortable to talk about myself, as it isn’t kind of my thing. But I want to be able to connect freely and fully with my audience. Gain recognition not only for what I do, but also for who I am. So, you’ll be getting loads of updates from now on. Especially if you follow my Instagram page, since I’ll be way more active there.

Moving permanently to the UK, I also wanted to alter my way of living. I motivated myself to give me the opportunity to enjoy life, while at the same time pursuing my dreams, working hard and creating new and many life adventures. One of the many things I tried to encourage myself doing, is to be more active on social media, to engage my audience, not only with my articles, but also with daily content from my life. Better than anyone, I know certainly that what people present on social media is in no way what their life actually looks like. And sure, I’ll be one to post the happy moments too. But I want to make a promise to you. I’ll be a real one. Life is both (allow me to say) shitty and beautiful. And all of us, we’re here to experience both the sweetness and the bitterness it has to offer.

Actually, you do not need to change a country, or even a continent to start a new chapter in your life. It’s all about deciding to do so. Even if you’ve been living in the same city you are now since you were born, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to change. All of us, we change, we evolve, we get better. Every single day, trying something new, or even just doing the same old daily routine of ours. Whatever the case, you don’t need to look differently to say you’ve changed. You can be a totally different person without even dyeing your hair. How? By changing mentally. That’s what matters, that’s what counts.

Adding to this, I actually want to confess that being at the age of 18, I’ve started seeing life a little more seriously, a bit differently, than usual. And so far, it is both exciting and stressful. But I know that life will always be this way. And that’s why I’ll take the risk of trying something new, something perhaps better, something that all of you, will maybe love me more for. If it fails, I’ll know that I at least tried my best. And, we’re going to try something new, once again.

I really wanna yap today. I hope it’s not tiring, dear reader. But, as a first year (the little thing that tries to understand how to actually create her own life slowly from scratch – yes that’s me) I want to really express my worries and possible answers to you. Starting university is no joke. Being able to receive the email saying I got accepted to Essex, was a huge milestone. I was literally happy for a whole week, no matter what.

Now, actually moving to my own accommodation, living on campus and starting my course in about 2 weeks, seems surreal. I’m trying to think it’s actually going to happen, that’s it’s true and not just a dream that I will wake up from sometime. But I’m certain that I’m not going to believe everything is actually happening, not until it really happens. I’m so excited, yet also worried. Will I do well? Will I do everything the right way? Will I be able to overcome the obstacles waiting for me? Right now, there’s a voice in my head that says “nooooo” and yet another one that says “yesssss -somehow-”. I quite laugh at myself for that. But I think it’s normal and acceptable, for all of us, first years to act like this. You never actually know what’s gonna happen, until it happens. I’ll keep telling myself that, or I’ll die from anxiety (lol).

As for the blog and all of my articles, I’ll try my best to keep your updated, every other week, or once a month. For my subscribers, I’ll have exclusive content for you. Don’t get me wrong, I love equally everyone who supports me. But, let’s be honest, if you’re a subscriber, you get a bit more of special treatment. Please bare with me, regarding my post updates. Time management was never easy, and I don’t think it’ll be easier now. But whatever the case is, my blog is my own little universe. It’s were I get to express myself freely, emptying my mind and just being. So, I’ll definitely not forget you. Firstly, because I care about all of you. Ans secondly, for my own mental health. It’s not always easy dealing with life. All of us, we should have some sort of way to relax and rest from life’s daily struggles. I think I’ll make another post about this, someday. Hopefully soon enough, now that my inspiration started skyrocketing again.

I think I’ll be summing up now, for this post. Do not push yourself too much, you can do this. I hope that everything goes well, for everyone. We’ll see each other again very soon. Keep an eye on my Instagram for updates and subscribe to our newsletter for more!

Love,

Evelyn.

PS. Let’s see what this chapter is going to be. I bet, an exciting one.
