From Books to Balance: Ivana's Wake-Up Call
U Spalatu, zimi, studentski domovi su bili puni života.
In Spalatu, during winter, the student dormitories were full of life.
Iako je vani bilo hladno, unutrašnjost je bila topla, a prozori su nudili prekrasan pogled na Jadransko more.
Even though it was cold outside, the interior was warm, and the windows offered a breathtaking view of the Adriatic Sea.
Ivana i Miro dijelili su sobu u jednom od tih domova, smještenom blizu centra.
Ivana and Miro shared a room in one of these dorms, located near the center.
Ivana je bila predana učenju.
Ivana was dedicated to studying.
U svako doba dana, mogla se pronaći kako sjedi za stolom, okružena knjigama.
At any time of day, she could be found sitting at her desk, surrounded by books.
Miro, njen cimer, bio je suprotnost.
Miro, her roommate, was the opposite.
Volio je provoditi vrijeme u druženju s drugim studentima i sudjelovati u raznim aktivnostima na kampusu.
He loved spending time socializing with other students and participating in various activities on campus.
Bližio se važan intervju za stipendiju koju je Ivana silno željela.
An important interview for a scholarship that Ivana greatly desired was approaching.
Svaki trenutak bio je posvećen pripremi.
Every moment was dedicated to preparation.
No, tog hladnog zimskog dana, nešto joj je poremetilo planove.
However, on that cold winter day, something disrupted her plans.
Dok je marljivo čitala, Ivana je počela osjećati svrab na koži.
While she was studying diligently, Ivana began to feel an itch on her skin.
Zanemarila je to i nastavila s učenjem.
She ignored it and continued studying.
Ali simptomi su postajali sve gori - crveni osip popeo joj se na ruke i lice.
But the symptoms became worse—a red rash climbed up her arms and face.
Disanje joj je postalo otežano.
Her breathing became labored.
Miro je primijetio kako se muči.
Miro noticed her struggling.
"Ivana, moraš napraviti pauzu", rekao je, zabrinutosti u glasu.
"Ivana, you need to take a break," he said, concern in his voice.
"Možda si razvila alergijsku reakciju.
"You might have developed an allergic reaction."
"Ivana je odmahivala glavom.
Ivana shook her head.
"Ne mogu sad, Miro.
"I can't right now, Miro.
Moram završiti pripreme za intervju.
I need to finish my interview preparations."
"Ali Miro nije popuštao.
But Miro was persistent.
"Zdravlje ti je važnije.
"Your health is more important.
Moramo ići do klinike.
We need to go to the clinic."
"S vremenom, Ivana je osjetila pravi strah.
Eventually, Ivana felt a genuine fear.
Njeni simptomi su postajali sve intenzivniji.
Her symptoms were becoming more intense.
U tom trenutku, shvatila je da nema izbora.
At that moment, she realized she had no choice.
Slažući se s Mirom, krenuli su prema kampus klinici.
Agreeing with Miro, they headed to the campus clinic.
U klinici, doktor je brzo reagirao.
At the clinic, the doctor responded quickly.
Ivana je primila potrebnu terapiju, a simptomi su počeli nestajati.
Ivana received the necessary treatment, and the symptoms began to fade.
Uz olakšanje, pogledala je Mira s novim uvažavanjem.
With relief, she looked at Miro with newfound appreciation.
"Sada shvaćam koliko je važno paziti na sebe", rekla je Ivana, zahvaljujući mu.
"Now I understand how important it is to take care of myself," Ivana said, thanking him.
"Hvala, Miro.
"Thank you, Miro."
"Taj događaj promijenio je njezin pogled.
That event changed her perspective.
Ivana je shvatila da ravnoteža između učenja i zdravlja nije samo nužna, već i korisna.
Ivana realized that balancing studying and health is not only necessary but also beneficial.
S vremenom je počela sudjelovati u više aktivnosti, ponekad se čak pridružujući Miri.
Over time, she started participating in more activities, sometimes even joining Miro.
Naučila je da studiranje i druženje mogu ići ruku pod ruku, a prošireni krug prijatelja obogatio je njen život.
She learned that studying and socializing could go hand in hand, and an expanded circle of friends enriched her life.
Dok su se vraćali u studentski dom, zvuk smijeha i mirisi kafića pratili su ih cijelim putem.
As they returned to the student dorm, the sound of laughter and the smells of cafes followed them all the way.
Ivana se sada smijala s Mirom, zahvalna što je imao pravo.
Ivana was now laughing with Miro, grateful that he was right.
Učenje je važno, ali ništa nije važnije od zdravlja i sretnih trenutaka koji dolaze s prijateljstvom.
Studying is important, but nothing is more important than health and the happy moments that come with friendship.
