I Should Have Known Better
So, somehow I got through my first and second year, making up for all the time spent on speeches and presentations by not interacting with my fellow students, but instead getting acquainted with the faculty's computer network. While other future economists spent their free time partying and getting to know one another, I came up with new ways of jumping the queue in order to get access to one of the very few university terminals. Then came the third year, the year of the truth, the time of actually choosing one's career path and deciding on a more specific field of study. It was then that the students had to make up their mind as to whether they wanted to design marketing strategies, manage corporations, climb the ladder in human resources or... calculate taxes. Hopeful and naive, I chose taxes, picturing my future self sitting in front of a computer and dealing with numbers, and numbers only. The level of serotonin in my brain rose so high, that I did something incredibly dumb. I joined an accounting study group. Yes, you read right. I voluntarily joined a group of people for a reason that puzzles me up to this day. What could go wrong - you might ask? Study groups usually focus on the subject of interest, so everything should be in perfect order. Should. But wasn't. It all went downhill when the other students came up with a new and fun project - an accounting contest. What's the worst that could happen? Well, the worst that did happen was me being chosen as one of our university team members.

Wow, this whole piece is written so well. Are you studying English or are you a native speaker just being social? :D I made a few minor changes, but they are really stylistic. Excellent!
