After graduation, I ended up doing a job that has little or nothing at all to do
with my field of study. Sometimes I feel that my current job doesn't excite me at
all and I am doing the job that anyone even without a university diploma would do.
(D) Now I blame myself for not selecting a more employable
field of study. So, it is
important to research your intended specialisation and look into the prospects of
the related profession before you make your final decision.

I often feel sorry for not getting involved in what university offered. Despite
having access to a range of facilities, such as a library and sports club, I did not
take the time to experience the things that were available for students. (E) Now
when I apply for a new job, employers are asking if I was a part of any communities
as a student.

At university, I often found myself feeling trapped when I didn't get what I wanted,
and even then, I hesitated to ask my mentors or professors for
advice. But these
people were always there to help me out, and I feel sorry for not requesting their
help while it was available. So, do not think twice to approach the faculty when you
are in a difficult situation.

Finally, I regret not spending more time, energy or money to develop myself. I would
feel more prepared for everything now. So, once you are a university student, read
inspirational books outside your courses or attend inspirational conferences. (F)
Before you leave university, you should be at your best in terms of inspiring
yourself. Every year, there are thousands of students graduating from universities
across the globe. Remember that the world would only open up to you when you are
fully developed.
