Basically been self-reflecting for a couple of months and realized I haven't been making the most out of my university experience even before COVID and basically spent the first two years of my undergrad grinding schoolwork for a high GPA and working part-time on the weekends to earn money, beyond that, I haven't developed a good social group, joined any clubs or have developed any other hobbies. Right now I've been doing an internship with a top firm in my field and basically feel set for the near-future career-wise. Despite this though, I have anxiety going back to school for the last time for my final year as I feel that this is going to be my last chance to try and experience all the things I've mentioned.
In terms of dating and sex even, I've heard that statistically, university has always been a great place to meet people of the opposite sex and look for potential partners due to the gender imbalance (more female than male) and the young age demographic. I feel dread by the fact that if I don't take advantage of this it might be significantly harder to meet potential partners in the future.
I feel the same way about making friends as they always say that the best time to meet life-long friends is at university. I always hear about the challenges that come with making friends while working full-time and developing your career.
In reaction to this quarter-life crisis I've also done a couple of things:
-Started working out in August of last year, and right now working on getting rid of that last body fat!
-Reached out online and social media, meetup groups; met a couple of guy students and have done some activities together, and made more plans for the future.
-Got a tattoo, planning to get an Invisalign, and in the process of revamping my wardrobe and style, learned to style my hair better as well!
Hoping just to hear some advice from any fellow Asians that have been in the same situation or is there anything that I'm not doing now to help me out of my rut? Thanks in advance! ;)
