This year in the Lingnan MHSM programme brought many new experiences. Despite brief class times, I've grown immensely. The "course paper" experience, from topic selection to independent completion under teacher guidance, differs notably from undergraduate studies, emphasizing self-reliance. This compensated for my regrets from my undergraduate years.
This challenging year led me to document my life as a YouTuber, securing my first job post-graduation. Although different from my studies, critical thinking skills from graduate school facilitated rapid career progress. Engaging in school-organized activities enriched my social experience. Participating in the "Alternative Coffee Experience Activity" during summer provided a unique perspective on coffee and fair trade, concluding my academic journey successfully.
In summary, this year at Lingnan marks a significant milestone in my life, transitioning from academia to professional career.
