Being an architect was always an passion of mine. Watching my dad doing his projects made me inspired to choose this subject as my major. Also I always wanted a subject where I can show my creativity instead of only studying. Also A subject where I can have my freedom . So thinking all these I chose this subject. My first day of architecture school was amazing. Day by day I realized how hard this major is. I had to leave my tution , hobby. Because I had to work in my studio from 9 am to 10 pm. There was no time left for other works. I always used to go home late because I always had submissions. Even my parents stopped worrying about it. Some days I have to stay in a friends house for a night when it was a group project. Day by day I realized there's no shortcut in success. Even the one who was lazy had to stay all night. Now the question is am I tired of my major ? Am I not enjoying it anymore ? The ans is I am loving my major day by day more. Staying busy the whole day and not worrying about reality is not bad always. I might get tired after waking up 4 night straight but after finishing the project it's a relief of feeling that it's my own design. Life of an architecture student is not really easy. No one understands your pain. No one understands the sleepless nights you go through. No one understands that your frustration is not from any heartbreak rather it's from not being able to meet your potential. There are days my parents don't understand me. They thinks I am chilling out with my friends till late night. I really wish I could chill out but literally I am here working 24 hours straight. Now the question is am I being unsocial due to my major ? Am I losing friends due to this subject? The answer is no. I learned balancing things. I learned how to chill in the evening and complete my project as well being an alnighter. I learned how to balance everything. I learned how to balance social life and architecture life. Sometimes it becomes impossible to balance when my jury comes. Oh god , only architecture students knows how scary our jury is. Guest comes to judge our jury who is overqualified. It all depends on the guest jurior. I still remember the day I had my first jury in 101. The guest faculty was Sadi Mohammad sir . He literally boosted up my confidence that day when he said I did the best. The worst thing is he suicided few days ago. I will forever remember him for boosting up my confidence. May god give him jannah. Today I am writing this blog with tears in my eyes. My life ain't easy. Some days I wanna give up. No one will understand how much pressure I go through. Some days I do not get the feedback. I get bad marks after working 48 hours straight. I still keep pushing myself to do better everyday. I hope one day I will get to see the finish line. May we all who studies this major get to see the finish line someday.
