Before high school, I dreamed of becoming a physicist. After entering university, I gained a fresh perspective on the world. During freshman year, I attended talks in many places and took courses in other departments. Little by little, my interests in other fields surfaced. I could also feel it myself: compared with the academic path, I was more suited for engineering. In the end, I transferred—into the Department of Bio-Industrial Mechatronics Engineering (BIME).

NTU Observations and Reflections (2): Second Semester in Atmospheric Sciences

After spending two semesters at National Taiwan University (NTU), I understood university life better—but I was no longer as fired up as at the beginning. My course load also changed quite a bit this semester. Last semester I only took 22 credits; this semester I took 24. Time also felt like it passed faster. Midterms were one subject per week, and before I knew it, a whole month was gone. Not long after midterms ended, a pile of final reports arrived, and then finals came right after that. The semester rushed by. Even though it felt like I did not do anything particularly special, I still have some course reflections and stories worth sharing.

When I was still a high school student, I was always curious about what university students actually do. I searched online, asked teachers, asked seniors—bit by bit, these experiences formed a jigsaw puzzle that gradually assembled my imagination of university life. Now that I have spent one semester at National Taiwan University (NTU), that picture has become clearer and clearer. Even though I am already in university, I am still exploring, and it feels like there will never be a day when I fully understand everything. I hope this post gives high school students more concrete information—about choosing schools and majors, about NTU, and about the future.
