This will be different

Yesterday, I had my very first university event. But instead of dressing up and heading to campus, I dusted off my webcam and plucked myself in front of my computer screen.

Now, before you ask, no, I didn't forget to put on pants, I just made it glow in the dark PJs. It was a Meet&Greet for my program, and while not everyone involved was part of my class, I'm thrilled to be studying with this amazing group of people for the next 3.5 years.

I'm studying marketing, which is my passion, and this program includes a mix of academic coursework and an unpaid internship. It's a lot to take on, but I'm ready for the challenge. Unfortunately, I managed to catch a cold a week before classes start. I know, right? Murphy's Law strikes again. But I'm determined to push through and make the most of this experience, even if it means attending classes from the comfort of my own bed.

On top of my studies, I also have a side job to make ends meet. It's not easy, but I'm determined to make it work. 

So, as I prepare for my first official day of classes on Monday, I can't help feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. But I'm ready to dive in and embrace this journey with open arms.
