This happened exactly a week ago. I was feeling really pissed with myself (and life). Not gonna lie, it’s been over a month since my interviews and I was starting to lose hope, thinking that I’m going to be a failure in life. I decided to escape reality and lay on bed the whole day, but a notification woke me from my slumber. Buzz buzz…

I remember pinching myself, running to the computer and going back to sleep, thinking it was a dream. For the next few days, I kept refreshing my email and finally accepted the offer, not believing one bit.
I had the same dream for months that I would be accepted into a Local University. Its pretty absurd but I held on to hope that eventually, my dream would come true. The process getting here wasn’t easy, after screwing up the interview with SIT. Unfortunately enough, I had to sit (no pun intended) right under the air-con. I was a nervous wreck, shivering and throughout the interview process and blanked out completely. I felt depressed for a couple of weeks before picking myself up and applying for another university.
Applying to to another university late was a blessing in disguise. During the downtime, I managed to calm my nerves, prepare a better resume and geared myself for the interview. I was given an interview topic – something something along the lines of kindness is innate to human beings. Being an idiot, I had to bug my friend on psychology study materials. THANK YOU KURONEKO.
One thing I’ve learned, is that life is a never-ending learning process. Opportunities for growth comes from everywhere, and even at times you don’t expect. Now… to actually pass all my modules and graduate with honours. UGHHH.
