Year 1

As I stepped into school today. It finally dawned upon me that I was no longer a freshie. I felt really unfamiliar with my surroundings. The canteens felt so crowded, the vibe felt different. And the weirdest part. I had nothing to do. I SWEAR. I HAVE THIS HUGE HABIT. AND THAT IS MAKING MYSELF OCCUPIED. But ever since BAOC ended. I have officially ended everything.

My Year 1 has been exploding with commitments and activities. In the first sem, I was busy with GB drill competition + GB ATC camp. Afterwhich, Envoys + Society + EF Crew + Red Camp 8 + iDARE all came in subsequently. All that kept me busy. And today, when I was going back home. I felt so empty. Like really, EMPTY. Nothing to do. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. And it's not that I want to have something to do. But it's just that, my commitments and activities have been coming one after another every single month, that I never had the time to stop and rest. And now that there's completely nothing to do. It's just... MEH. Boring. My friends have all stepped up to exco positions, and I'm really proud of them. Seeing all of them put effort into the recruitment drive. I'm so happy that they're doing what they enjoy :)

As for me, ever since BAOC ended. I have been hearing of the different teams of SCOs being formed up, and I'm being asked close to almost everyday if I'm going back as an SCO for Society. I will not be going back as an SCO. For many reasons. It was a very tough decision to decide not to join SCO. Because I was torn between either SCO and being an SF. Both roles, I loved and learnt so much from. But after thinking of more than a month, I've decided to go for SF instead. Maybe it's because, I know iDARE can change and shape lives. And what I want to do, is to change lives and impact others.

In any case, I am thankful for all the opportunities I have been given in Year 1. The amount of doors opened for me, the experiences gained. They are truly priceless. And honestly, I think all this started from FOC. When my lovely GLs were the ones who inspired me to make the best out of poly life. And that was what sparked my interest and passion in changing lives.

All these opportunities given to me, I would never EVER forget them :')

BA Society led to being the ASCO of Pegasus

BA Envoys led to being a member of EF Crew
iDARE led to being an SF for Nyan Cats
Red Camp led to being an SL for Ninjas

But for now. All I want to do, is to give back to what made me today. My GB Company. The first meeting for our annual ATC will be tomorrow. And I'm so happy that I'll finally be free to go back and be part of the committee. I can't wait to meet my officers and fellow junior officers again. Because GB made me what I am today, and I really hope to train the GB girls to become even better leaders. So besides going back to GB and being an SF. That will be ALL for Year 2.

For those going for SCO positions, though it's very early, but I wish you all the best :)
It was truly one of the best experiences and lessons learnt in my life.
