Story

If you had told me in 2023 that I’d be zipping around campus, putting together events, leading teams, and still finding time for my art, I would’ve laughed it off. But here I am. 2024 was a whirlwind, totally chaotic, and honestly, one of the best years I’ve ever had. I’m thriving in this craziness, always on my toes but loving every second. BMU transformed me into someone who can go from organizing an event to dodging calls just to grab a few minutes of peace, from pulling all-nighters for assignments to pretending to be “super busy” to skip a meeting I didn’t want to attend. In the chaos of rushing across campus for last-minute fixes, dealing with crises that shouldn’t have happened, and swearing I wouldn’t take on more responsibilities (only to sign up for more the next day), I realized I enjoy this madness.

And when the tiredness hit, my art was always there—my Instagram slowly shifted from being all about aesthetics to capturing the chaos, with late-night sketches after events and unfinished glass paintings because, well, priorities. Amid all this, between getting inspired by Rebel Kid, taking breaks from classes, and understanding that perfection isn’t necessary, I started to love myself a bit more. I stopped trying to fit into molds, quit over-explaining, and let things flow. BMU didn’t just throw a bunch of projects and deadlines at me; it gifted me moments, people, and memories that made me laugh at how wild everything was. 2024? A total rollercoaster. Would I do it all again in 2025? Absolutely, but maybe with fewer early-morning meetings.
