Moments that we can document have become part of our everyday life. It’s got be Instagramable. #instalike Today is certainly one for me. I wasn’t quite prepared for how emotional I was going to feel this morning walking across The Univeristy of Melbourne campus @unilibrary @unimelb 😢👨🏻💻👨🏼🎓I was wondering how I managed to make it here. Then I realised that was an easy question to answer, because of all the amazing support & love I have in my life 💓👨❤️👨💁🏼♂️to all the people that have asked, “what for”, “what are you going to do with it”, “why would you put yourself through it”??? I can clearly answer those questions this morning. Research is not about looking backwards, it’s about looking to the future & being in front of what’s coming next. Every essay I’ve ever written since being at uni has found problems with the technical aspects of my writing, they’ve always praised my ability to research. I’m good at it.
