I returned home from an extremely long day at school last night and I thought I would immediately crash but as I laid in bed – my sleep-deprived body evidently worn out – I couldn't stop thinking about how far I've come. Four years ago, I began my new academic journey as an undergraduate at NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information. My first steps into the faculty were filled with uncertainty but excitement was cavorting in my ribcage. The 19-year-old me was very different from the person I am now. After six years of negative self-talk, I was nursing a damaged mindset. But I did it with the help of my close friends, especially the bestf whom I will eternally be thankful for. That healing period was tougher than I expected and I knew entering an entirely new environment would do nothing to help me recover any quicker. Still, I took the plunge. Looking back now, I sure am glad I chose WKWSCI in the end. I guess it was a year of realisation...
