About Me:
Hello! My name is Ellie, I’m 18, and I’m a first-year student. I enrolled in economics — I’ve always wanted to understand how the world of numbers, decisions, and consequences works, to see patterns where others see chaos, and to figure out why everything happens the way it does.
Studying at university is nothing like school. Here, you don’t owe anything to anyone, and at the same time — you owe everything: you decide whether to attend a class, whether you’ll understand graphs and models, whether you’ll get enough sleep.
I love mornings on campus — when it’s still quiet, but already smells like coffee, and students are heading either to lectures or just “walking around before the first class.” In my backpack, there’s always a notebook with notes, headphones, and a laptop with an unfinished spreadsheet or calculations — it seems I’m one of those people who truly believe that real stories are hidden behind numbers.
Sometimes I get tired — of the pace, of people, of the constant rush to “keep up,” of formulas that don’t immediately come together into a clear picture. But then, during a seminar, everything suddenly falls into place, or a professor says, “You know how to see patterns,” — and everything inside me comes alive again.
I’m 18, I’m a student, I don’t know anything yet, but I desperately want to learn. I’m learning to think, to analyze, to make mistakes, and not to be afraid of complex decisions. I’m learning to live, to fall in love, and not to lose myself. Because this is just the beginning. And it’s mine.

To understand how the world of economics works — not only in theory, but in real life.
To learn to see patterns where at first there seems to be chaos.
To figure out complex models and start enjoying the process.
To find a balance between studies, rest, and personal life.
To stop being afraid of difficult decisions and learn to make them confidently.

To find my own rhythm in this fast-paced student life.
To finish what I start — whether it’s calculations, projects, or ideas.
To make my knowledge useful — for people or society.
To hear more than once: “You know how to see patterns.”
To keep noticing beauty in simple moments — mornings, coffee, people around me.
To avoid burnout in the race to “keep up” and learn to choose what matters most.
To make mistakes — and not be afraid of them.
To fall in love — sincerely and truly.
