One step at a time

Ambre Pluta Flipside Editor

As everyone is starting to pack their bags to go back home for winter break, or making plans with friends, everything is truly slowing down for the rst time since the beginning of the academic year. We’re all carefully looking back at everything that’s been accomplished so far and everything that has happened.

As this is my nal year, I am really trying to appreciate everything about university. is is the time to breathe in the cold winter air and take in what it means to be twenty- something. But, as any student knows, there’s always just too many things to do. is has been a new adventure for me in so many ways. During summer break, as September crept up on all of us, the role that was waiting upon me felt as exciting as daunting. I had seen how my predecessor, Beatriz, had done such an amazing job and I wondered if there was any way that I could even hope to do just as well. Moreover, I had never interviewed anyone before or written articles of the sort. I didn’t know if I would be able to nd people to interview. week: “We are trying to save higher education”.

We stand in solidarity with LSE UCU.

Before I returned to London for the start of the academic year, I shared my fears with my mom, and she told me, “Follow the steps, do them one by one and you will get there.” As moms always are, she was right.

My parents have always assured me of one thing, “You will do something great with your life and I am sure of it”. In this editorial, I wish to say to all of you that you will do something great with your life. is can mean di erent things to di erent people; knowing how to go forward with life when you’re twentysomething feels so scary. Taking life one step at a time does seem to be the right way to go
