Once in an Interior Architecture School

There are many moment in my life that I drawn back to such as first day in kinder garden school, being a monk or slept in military camp. However, the most drawn back moment is life in an interior architecture school which is really difficult to choose to study, and  I really enjoyed studying.

Choosing study in design or the filed related to art was completely difficult for Thai students. Most of Thai parents had highly expectation for their children to study medicine, engineering or economic in the university. It has been a strong model for a long time. I have two older sister which studied computer engineering and economic which was perfectly expectation for my mother. She always happy with the choice that my sister had made. At the time that I had to choose for my study, I told my mother and sister that I always desired to study design especially interior design. It is because I really passionate about how people live their lives. It was interesting to design living space for people to enjoy their living. Furthermore, most people spent most of their time in interior space rather than outdoor space. Therefore, I decided to study interior architectural design. But, my mother and sister did not agree with my choice. After that, I tried to negotiate with them for a month. The result was that my mother told me just one thing which I always remembered it until now. She told me that "you can choose what you chose, and try your best." Then, the admission day that I had to choose four choices of my major in four different universities was coming. So, I all selected four interior architecture in four universities. Unfortunately, the admission system in Thailand changed that year. I could not get into the university that I dreamed of.

After the admission result published, I found myself in department of interior design, Bangkok University. At that time, I still sad about the result that I got. But, my life had change in this school. I felt like I lived in the new world. In design school, my friends and I learned how to draw, paint, making three dimensional model, notice aesthetic things and all kind of this stuff. I absolutely enjoyed learning this kind of things. It really fascinate me which completely difference from the subject that I studied in high school. I studied mathematics and sciences. Everyday in high school,  I confused about chemical stuff, calculus, gravity or momentum. In design school, I had learned from my classmate ideas, and we had discussed about what is aesthetic?, what is good composition? or what is comfortable factors in interior space?. We worked together all day and night which developed good friendship. I also found the good relationship between students and professor there. I always remember what my mother said "you can choose what you chose, and try your best." Finally, I earned my bachelor degree with first class honors.

In conclusion, selecting design filed and got accepted from the university was tough, but I definitely enjoyed in an interior design school life. This experience always drawn me back to to moment that I decided to study and drafting table that I fall asleep with after  drawing for three days without sleep.
