 Intro

This blog is written by an information processing student. I have a Bachelor of Science in 

Biochemistry, and university life is already familiar to me. I switched to information 

processing after losing interest in biochemistry and seeing limited job opportunities in the 

field. Friends who were studying or had graduated in information processing recommended it 

to me. I've always been passionate about computers, especially video gaming, so it felt like a 

natural choice. After completing the first half of a semester, I feel like I'm in the right field but 

time will tell for sure.

Blogging

I've never blogged before, nor have I really read personal blogs. However, I do enjoy reading 

blog posts about new technology and product reviews for example, this one about the best 

gaming graphics cards in 2025 https://bittiblogi.fi/paras-naytonohjain-pelaamiseen-vuonna-

2025/. I'm not sure if that really counts as a blog, though it doesn't feel like one to me. For me, 

blogging will probably be similar to writing a diary, which is also something I've never done. 

The closest I've come to it is making occasional notes on my phone, but even that is rare. I 

expect my blog to have a diary-like feel, though that might change as I go through future 

assignments. If I had to guess, blogging might turn out to be a kind of mind therapy for me.

English learning goals

In the long run, I want to learn every English word and speak fluently by the time I'm 85. For 

this course, my goal is to learn a few new expressions each week. My reading and writing 

skills are already decent, but having long conversations without hesitation is challenging. 

Most of my difficulties come from not being able to recall the right English word when I'm 

thinking in Finnish. English classes have always been my favourite, partly because I've found 

them so easy. Learning English feels almost effortless since it's everywhere on my phone, PC, 

with friends, in TV series, movies, and games. From the moment I wake up and open my eyes, 

I'm surrounded by it. On top of that, there's a certain pressure to learn English. If you don’t, 

you're at a serious disadvantage in life. English is essential for jobs, travel, and the internet. 

It's needed everywhere.

Finally, I want to share my experiences with speaking English. I worked as an instructor at an 

adventure park, where I had to give climbing safety instructions in English. I also play video

games with friends who are native English speakers, which helps me improve my grammar a 

lot.

    Hi, very interesting post. It’s really nice to hear that people who graduated in the field actually recommend it, it gives me a slight confidence boost. I also find the part about learning English relatable. It’s literally everywhere and I can’t imagine not being able to use it.

My Language Learning Journey

Learning foreign languages has always been an important part of my life, especially English. Over the  years, I’ve realized that the most effective way I learn a language is through immersion and consistent,  everyday exposure. Watching movies and series, playing video games, chatting with international  friends, and using English on my phone and computer have made the language feel natural and  almost automatic to me. I don’t always study in the traditional sense, but instead, I surround myself  with English as much as possible. This has helped my reading and writing skills improve steadily. This term, I’ve found that writing blog posts and doing reflective assignments have helped me  understand how I use English and where I can still improve. I’ve also paid more attention to  vocabulary especially expressions by noting down new phrases I come across in shows or games.  One of the most useful tricks I’ve used is talking to myself in English when ...

 Best piece of advice The best piece of advice I ever received was from my friend, who taught me how to do a bench  press correctly. Before that, I had been lifting weights without paying much attention to my  form. I assumed that bench pressing was simply about lowering the bar to my chest and  pushing it back up. However, as I started lifting heavier weights, I began experiencing  shoulder discomfort and inconsistent progress. That’s when my friend stepped in and gave  me some crucial advice that completely changed my approach to weightlifting.  He watched me perform a few reps and immediately pointed out some mistakes. First, I was  flaring my elbows out too much, which put unnecessary strain on my shoulders. Second, I  wasn’t maintaining a stable position on the bench, which made my lifts feel unbalanced.  Lastly, I was lowering the bar too quickly, rather than in a controlled manner. My friend  explained that proper technique w...
