The transition to university is a big step for everyone, and moving out of the safety of my household to a space filled with strangers was daunting, but meeting new people was and still is a huge thrill. I met many people and found that students around campus are friendly, talented and intelligent. I have met many like-minded people while cultivating my passions and gaining experiences that can boost my CV. As a business student, the academic part of my university life can be stressful. However, I fight the urge to work tirelessly by deliberately taking breaks, going to networking events on campus, or just relaxing. Living independently can be fun and challenging simultaneously, as I do not have someone there taking care of me, but it gives me the independence I need. Overall, my experience at university has been very calm and enriching, and taking one day at a time allows me to enjoy it.
