Christmas Holidays! Sort of. Masked by the holiday spirits, the three-week holiday period is actually a time for revisions for the examinations in January. Nevertheless, my friends and I made it a point to let some steam off by travelling.

University is a learning experience for all. You learn more about yourself more than anything. I figured I’d talk about how I have changed through this incredible journey. On many instances I found myself constantly feeling disappointed in myself. Often,

Six hundred over individual projects to choose from and we had to cherry-pick six and rank them to our preference. Fast forward a year, I’m two weeks away from submitting an official 10,000-word report on my project. Mind you, writing
