On 18 July 2022, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English Studies in the Ceremonial Hall of the Faculty of Humanities of ELTE.
But the blue velvet-bound diploma is not just about quantified averages and successfully completed specialisations; among the papers I find the Norwegian landscape, friends, life-affirming readings, research in neurolinguistics, eloquence and the experience that has contributed to my leaving the campus of Múzeum körút 4-6 for the last time as a more educated, well-travelled, open-minded and knowledge-hungry person.
I am grateful for the continued support, encouragement and opportunities that I have received over the past period, which have helped face many challenges and make the best out of myself.
Non scholae, sed vitae discimus.
