Things have been challenging, but when were they not? If my abilities have gotten me here, my
strength and willpower can also make me survive the MBA life. I can and I will. A week into it, and we all learned that the day actually starts after midnight! Cases, pre-reads, submissions, club and committee orientations, competitions, our informal zoom calls, and cold calls during classes too. It was an insane rush. No amount of excel sheet or calendar planning could assure me that I am not missing anything. And to deal with your neighbour for waking one another who wake up early in the morning, so we didn't miss our morning class. Now I have entered a hectic schedule to balance studies with perpetually chasing deadlines of assignments, various competitions, and club work. Within that time frame, the opportunity to learn with the country's best minds has been enormous for me. In addition to that, I have already been part of some memories which I will cherish forever, and looking forward to many more to come.
So for all those who think they are in the same boat as I was, the only things required are a burning desire to succeed, a steady implementation of your plan, self-belief, and the best time to start is now!
