With Anna @ MonashMusicFest

Bumped into Anna in City Harvest Church last weekend;

She’s been MIA from Monash for almost a year now.

And like many of my peeps who have asked me this semester; I asked her “what she’s been up to”.

Apparently she has taken a break from studying and started going into sales, insurance specifically.

I asked her why… (because i sure as hell did not take this break-by choice)

Her answer, “Because i wasn’t sure whether studying was for me“.

I GREW UP BELIEVING THAT TOO!

I didn’t know you could actually not study and opt for a career immediately?!
Well, i knew lah … but my parents would flip! Her honest answer made me reflect on my own purpose of being in the university, studying for a degree which I may have never agreed to.

On one hand, I wish i could be bolder; knowing what i want in life and stop whatever i’m doing, putting comfort and convenience aside and started pursuing my dreams of being an entrepreneur.

On the other, The 3 years i’ve spent in Monash has been filled with tons of breakthroughs and victories which has shaped me the person i am today. University life can’t be just about studies no? I will not trade the experience and friendship i’ve gained here for anything in the world.
