After completing my foundation studies in Trinity last december,
the application for universities commenced.
Though I was accepted into Melbourne Uni for it's arts (liberal) program,
I was utterly adamant on doing a law degree.
The only uni in Melbourne that offered law as a Bachelor's degree was Monash,
and I missed out by a few points (the clear in was a 90% average, I attained an 88).
As an alternative, I sought after other universities in neighbouring states.
After Christmas,
I got an email saying I was accepted into the University of Sydney for Bachelor of Arts and Law, which meant that it was a double degree.
I was ecstatic - uSyd is only 2nd to Melbourne Uni for it's law program and no. 10 in the world.
But I was also torn; I desperately wanted to stay in Melbourne. I was madly in love with the city that had the friendliest people, a strong brunch culture and served the best coffee.
Alas, this yearning to do law outweighed my desires to stay.
And so I shifted from Melbourne to Sydney.
A couple of months flew by and I realised that I was not happy, not as enthused with life.
It took me a few weeks to come to terms with the fact that Sydney was not my cup of tea.
I liked it, to a certain extent but there was just something missing.
I missed the girls and Melbourne's efficient tram system, how everything's walking distance..
Come Easter break and after a lengthy talk with the parents,
It was decided:
I was to move back to Melbourne.
Anyway, I've always had a knack for reading subjects and a way with words; a skill essential for writing essays. And since I missed out on Monash's law program by 2 points.
I headed towards Melbourne Uni for it's versatile Bachelor of Arts program.
Best decision of this year thus far, deciding to attend the best university in Australia.
Below are some pictures taken when I was still living there :)
