Muitas vezes ao pensar em ir para a faculdade caímos naquela de “vai ser isso pro resto da minha vida”, só que essa é uma ideia ultrapassada. Não é necessário ter certeza do que você quer, não precisa deixar todos os seus medos trancados num baú. A vida é uma amoeba bem maleável e todos temos o direito da dúvida.
Você nunca vai ter como saber se esse ou aquele é realmente o curso que você deseja sem testar antes. Tem várias dicas para termos uma ideia do que queremos estudar, como, por exemplo, conhecer sobre o dia-a-dia da profissão, analisar a grade horária do curso, se imaginar acordando para trabalhar com tal coisa, recorrer aos sonhos de criança e vários mais que lhe surgirem à mente, e a realidade é que essas coisas te dão uma ideia do que você quer e mesmo assim você pode ficar na dúvida e querer muitas coisas. Por que não testar? Se dê ao direito da dúvida, a faculdade não é um contrato o qual você assina e deve cumprir até a aposentadoria, hoje em dia é possível começar uma faculdade com quantos anos for, estudar aquilo que gosta e se sentiria realizada em trabalhar com.
Atualmente eu curso medicina veterinária, mas nada me impede de cursar artes, história, biologia, medicina humana, seja o que for. Sempre existe uma possibilidade de mudança! Se você estiver disposta a estudar alguma coisa e a aproveitar aqueles momentos é que vai realmente saber de suas vontades, é possível que você se apaixone por aquilo que escolher, do mesmo modo que é possível você detestar e querer mudar.
Se você é uma pessoa decidida e já sabe aquilo que quer, vai na fé, te garanto que vai compensar. Caso seja necessária uma grande mudança na sua vida, esteja disposta a aceitá-la, não tem como estar pronta pra tudo, mas dá pra se dispor ao risco. Acho que uma das coisas que mais assusta é se mudar pra longe, do nada você descobre um medo do escuro, de repente você está em um ambiente completamente novo e “meu deus, como liga a máquina de lavar!?” O segredo é se soltar aos poucos, conhecer o lugar, dar uma volta até se acostumar com o ambiente, fazer novos amigos, quem sabe arranjar um colega de quarto? Pode ser difícil algumas horas, e quando for assim tudo bem chorar, ligar pra alguém, bater na porta do vizinho pra pedir uma ajuda com a máquina de lavar. Te juro que adulto nunca tá pronto, às vezes a gente até esquece que é adulto e o que faz lembrar é a louça pra lavar, então vai no seu tempo e com a cara a tapa.
Agora na pandemia as coisas estão mais difíceis mesmo, mas isso não quer dizer que agora acabou tudo e já era, veja a maneira como a faculdade que você escolheu está lidando com a situação e se tente se adaptar a essa nova realidade de estudo. Converse com seus veteranos, é capaz deles também estarem assustados, mas também já estão mais experientes e podem te dar um suporte. Se estiver realmente surtando, converse com a coordenação do curso ou com alguém em quem confie e possa te ajudar.
Boa sorte!

Why did you choose to found Vioo?
“Vioo was created for students who want a better understanding of their future lives.

Why did you choose to found Vioo?
“Aleks grew up in Brazil blindly thinking Yale was meant for him due to his family legacy. Fortunately, he had the time, resources and opportunity to spend time on-campus before applying and noticing it was nothing like he imagined. When in college, he was certain banking was the right fit, leading him once again to frustration after his internships.
No 18 year old knows what they want to do in life. It’s no coincidence that there are so many memes addressing this “existential” crisis. Students need Vioo because we provide a bias-free virtual resource for college and job discovery regardless of where you are in the world – job portals just don’t cut it with Gen-Z.”
