On January 5th, 2021, I flew with a one-way ticket to study at the University of Oxford. It was the height of the global pandemic. The city of dreaming spires was a ghost town. Borders closed just two days after my entry, but I never looked back.

I was the first person in my family to attend a four-year college, especially one as renowned as Oxford. With this golden opportunity in hand, I simply had to make the best of my time there, so I purused my dream of becoming a writer.

Since January 2021, the job market has become more competitive than ever before. A bachelor’s degree costs 400,000 USD, equivalent to the median cost in America for purchasing a house. There are more graduates and fewer jobs with each evolution of AI technologies.
