In five years time my life can be very different. Now I'm studying corporate communication. My life can go two ways in five years I think. This is one way. My course is very interesting and it goes very well. It's not very challenging but I want to finish this course. I hope to be graduated in four years. In those years I want to have a nice internship, my own room in Utrecht, still have nice friends, learn a lot and we very happy. After graduation I'm going to do admission for art school in Rotterdam. But not for a fulltime course, but for a parttime course. Studying is very expensive so I want to work and study at the same time then. I want to study advertising and graphic design. Those courses are together in a parttime course for four years.
The other way my life can go is different. The course I'm doing now is great and very interesting, but I want to do more creative things and I want to design more than I'm doing now. So this year I'm going to do admission for art school in Rotterdam. That will be for the course advertising. In March I'm going to the school and talk about my choices en wishes. I will be studying there in Rotterdam when I'm admitted there. The course is four years, so I hope I will be graduated in five years then. There is also a chance that I'm not going to be admitted for art school. Then I'm going to finish the course corporate communication and study art school after that as I told before. It is still not clear what I'm going to study next year. I will see. My life can be like a designer, but maybe I'm going to change my mind in a few years and then I'll become a writer or a photographer. I'm not very sure of what my life will be like in five years.

Living at home while at uni
I am still living at home in Bennekom with my mother and younger brother. I travel to school. When I have to be at school at half past 8 I have to wake up at a quarter past 6. Very early. Then I'll take the train at half past 7. It isn't very comfortable and handy.
But living at home also has advantages. When I come home I can get a drink and just relax. No shopping, washing machines, washing up and cleaning for me. Of course I also do something at home like vacuuming, let out the dog and clean my room.
Luckily I only have to go to school for 3 days now. And only 1 time at half past 8, happy me. But the traveling isn't very relaxed. It's always busy and it takes a lot of time. I prefer to sleep a little longer. My bed is very important for me. The way back is the most annoying and boring. I just want to be home after school and do things I like. But now I have to go to the train, and after that cycle home. It takes almost 1,5 hours.
I would like to live in Utrecht. But finding a nice room is very hard. I have friends who already live there so I can sleep in their rooms. For example when I want to go to a party, Im not able to go home anymore. Then I can sleep at their places and stay in Utrecht. But I'm looking for my own room and I'm looking forward to have one although it's also nice to live at home with my mum. But studying in Utrecht is more fun when you also live there.

My first half year at the HU
My first half year at the University of applied sciences in Utrecht was really fun.
I met a lot of new people en they are all very nice. My classmates are fun and I really like the course.
The first half year wasn't very hard for me. I just did my homework, did what I had to do and that resulted in very high grades. I'm very happy with my results. I'd like all the classes, my favourite classes are the 'creative' classes. We had to make a website for example, and I really like doing that. I made a portfoliosite, with my photographs and other work on it.
My site is: http://1585954.huweb.nl/
I also really like to write. For school we have to write news messages, letters, interviews and more. I really liked learning to write those. Practicing my interview skills is what I liked most. But we have to learn to write all kind of texts and I'm very curious to be a good writer.
In the second period we also had to make a company magazine. We had to do it in groups, and it was a very instructive and amusing assignment. The magazine had to be for our course: business communication. I was in a group of five students, and we all had to write one article. I made the design for our magazine and I think it turned out pretty well. We don't have our grades yet, so I'm very excited about them.
This is what our magazine looks like:
Besides that school is great, I'm thinking of switching to art school next year. I would really like to follow the course advertising at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. But I hope this period will be as great as the first ones, because I really like this course at the HU.
Top Tip
Keep on doing your homework and make a planning. It's not nice doing everything in the last week. I experienced that in this half year.
