Hi everyone.
I'm a 5th year architecture student. Where i'm from it's 5 years of school plus one year for the thesis project. I have a massive problem which is that i feel very behind in terms of software and design skills... I know that 5th year is maybe a bit late for this kind of realisation but because i have struggled with social anxiety throughout the years I haven't been able to learn as much as everyone else. I've noticed that others were always asking questions, curious about everything, they made connections which helped them find opportunities while I was in my own bubble, just scared of people...I'm not expecting for this to resonate with most of you and I know it sounds like a made up excuse for my lack of seriousness but i swear it's not and because of ut i've been struggling every year and wondering if I should just quit, but then I realised that every other field requires the same social abilities...I can't say i'm proud of any of my past projects, I've mostly focused on just getting it done, instead of pouring actual thought in my projects...
Now i'm thinking of redoing my portfolio from scratch. Not with my past projects because I feel so uninspired by them, but i have no idea what kind of projects to start, I'd appreciate any kind of ideas or thoughts or advice in general 🙏
I really need a solid portfolio for future internships or else i'm doomed, i've already wasted enough time doing nothing these past 5 years...
