Strider
New Contributor
Hello everyone, I'm Strider from southern europe, I'm a few weeks of being 19 years old and I've "been here" for a while (had a few months of inactivity) and I've done nothing with it.
I'm currently studying in college, not liking it and thinking of changing courses to something easier and more interesting. I still have doubts about the future (who doesn't) so I want to keep a safety net.
Joined a entrepreneurship club that has connections to alumni and companies and because of it have done some cool things, it hasn't been all bad. But I'm definitely bored and doing under what I think I should (60% average until now) haven't gone to a single class in 3 weeks and truly don't think I should have. My goal is to self-study when the classes are worthless. Be disciplined. For this I have developed a organizing system that I'm using for about 3 days now.
With the time I'll have left I want to invest in side projects and exposing myself to the world.
I have a big Education idea, that came from the struggles I've felt (app and community based) and intend to learn the basic of the tools to build the mvp this summer, many subideas arise from this one so it's good for that. Right now I've built the website and one of the basic features of it, but it needed content that my friends and I couldn't make avaible in time.
I also intend to build a smart water saving system for a public garden that I saw was wasting so much water it made me sick in the guts. Just purchased the electronic parts online, got to wait a month for them, actually curious to learn how to use them (only have a basic idea) and see my "baby" working.. or not ahaha
These are the current ideas that I've going on. But I still feel a bit of lost. My biggest fear is that I don't know if I should be here. I've never sold anything. I'm afraid of losing myself into something (be it a job or a series of "businesses" that have no soul) and then nothing I've done nothing that actually matters. On the other side, I'm ambitious, when I start doing something its go big or go home. I've literally always wanted to help people and do my best to defend truth (making enemies along the way) and contribute. Most times I feel like I've got enough for whatever I put my mind into and I'm deeply excited to meet new people, I love to go around doing stuff that matters (my happiest week was when I volunteered at a big tech event).
The focus of being here is:
> Nurturing the mentality of positivity and fastlane;
> Learning from experience of others;
> Learning sales in a proper way;
> Get ideas to try out and learn from actually doing;
I want to learn by doing for once, I feel like I've been inside a bubble all my life. I'm sick of it. I want to breakout on my own.
Be it study something that I actually care about (while having side projects that I care about) and then go do my Masters in another country, or simply getting a decent average and think more of business in my country at start. Both are viable to me, I literally just don't want to be bored to death and have the joy of having some kind of impact or excitement.
I've set a few goals for the following two months:
- Get my semester average up to 75% (hard but doable);
- Get the water saving project prototype (second month);
- Meet new people (meetups and events) in interesting areas;
- Keep brainstorming;
- Become more positive and look for ways to help people;
- Act on the education idea, talk to old teachers and ask for help, structure the idea and learn the basics of what I need for the mvp;
Well I do feel like I rambled a lot, sorry for that, not feeling the best right now so will probably sleep now.
Have a great night!
