To hear your name called and get to walk across the stage in front of all your fellow graduates, friends, professors, and […]

Two weeks ago I emailed the Economics Department asking when our exam results would be released. They promptly replied telling me that I could expect my results to arrive at the end of June. Fast forward a few days to the 23rd of June (definitely not the end of the month), I landed back in […]

This past weekend, I set aside a few hours to seriously look into and apply to graduate schemes and jobs. This is a task that has been on my list for quite some time now, and I have been successfully procrastinating starting it for the entirety of third year. However, I figured since most […]
