It was an incredibly busy term with not much time for reflection as it progressed, but looking back on it now I learnt so much and gained experience to aid me in the future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4766\" style=\"width: 271px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-4766 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2019\/07\/IMG_7779-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Out on shoot for the Documentary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>You\u2019ve got a friend in me (Toy Story)<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best parts about coming to Imperial has been the incredible friends I\u2019ve made: from all the wonderful people in Dance Company to my fellow students in the Science Communication Unit. Whether it was pub quiz trips to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/food-and-drink\/catering-outlets\/h-bar\/\">h-bar<\/a>, the Dance Company end of year meal, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/2019\/06\/24\/having-a-ball\/\">Imperial Summer Ball<\/a>, filling my schedule with these trips diluted the sometimes insurmountable piles of work I had to do!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4765\" style=\"width: 412px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-4765\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2019\/07\/IMG_7695-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With the Tap team at the Dance Company end of year meal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>In Summer (Frozen)<\/h3>\n<p>As a postgraduate student, my time at Imperial has yet to come to a close.

The honest answer: I really have no idea. Preparing for \u2018real adult life\u2019 is a bit daunting, particularly when I am fully aware of how hard it is to get a job, and how expensive it is to stay living in London. But it is also exciting, and although I don\u2019t quite know how far I\u2019ll go yet, I do know that my year at Imperial has been an extremely helpful and rewarding one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-4763\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs-staging.imperial.ac.uk\/student-blogs\/files\/2019\/07\/FullSizeRender-767x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And just like that third term is over!
