Another type of journey

It took me 4 years to realise that I have never really liked Mechanical Engineering at all.

In year 1, I identified the sector or specialization with the best opportunity and how it had the best chance of getting me a job, good salary, exchange program. With this plan in mind, I just went along with it blindly and thought that I would like it. Along the way, I just took my modules without much understanding and just using a pass the exam method to get through it. With the way NUS modules are being taught and maybe it is because my peers are not very good either, I was able to get a above average grade. Maybe if I did badly I would have realize this sooner as they say that when you are doing badly and you are passionate about it you will still push through. I definitely won't. Maybe when I was in Aberdeen, I would have been more interested as I did not have as much distractions as in Tembusu which totally turned me away from engineering. In the end, I became someone who is not very good at engineering but is unable to turn away from engineering to do things that I like. I spend long hours procrastinating and doing things that hide from this issues and that just sucks....Where shall I go from here....

Day 1 of quitting my addiction....the withdrawal symptoms are appearing. How did it ever become such a big part of my life?!?
