It’s been 17 years since I graduated from college. I’ve had several attempts of going back to school - study law or take up a master’s degree in International Relations - but I just didn’t get to finish any. I got too caught up at work that taking postgraduate studies was not my priority anymore. It took a pandemic and a job loss to help me reevaluate my choices.

College graduation in 2004. I turned 20 this day.

If you've been going back and forth thinking when is the right time - NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME. We don't know how long we'll be on earth, so let's make sure we are making the most out of the time that we're given.
