Hello! My name is Lilly, I'm 18, and I'm a first-year student. I chose to study psychology — I’ve always been curious about people, about what they hide behind smiles, silence, or привычные слова. I like to listen more than I speak, to notice details others might miss, and to quietly collect stories that are not always told out loud. University life turned out to be very different from what I expected. No one controls you here, but at the same time everything depends on you. You build your own schedule, your own priorities, your own future — and sometimes it feels empowering, and sometimes just overwhelming. Some days I feel like I finally know what I’m doing. Other days I feel completely lost, like I’m just trying to keep up. I’m 18, I’m still figuring things out, still learning who I am and who I want to be. I make mistakes, overthink, dream too much — but I keep going. Because this is my story. And it’s only just beginning.
