Hey there, internet stranger! Welcome to my page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some reasons, you\u2019ve decided to click on the blue link to my page, and whether it\u2019s by accident or not, I believe that it is Fate himself that has brought you here today. Maybe it\u2019s because you want to know more about UCSI University; or maybe you\u2019re here because you\u2019re good with numbers, and people told you about Actuarial Science; or maybe you\u2019re here because you\u2019re just bored\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But first things first, let me introduce myself. I’m Yen Qi, an Actuarial Science student currently studying at UCSI University. I\u2019m from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At the time of writing, I am a little shy of 20 years old, and currently in the first year of my undergraduate<\/a> degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides classes, most of my time is spent preparing for my preliminary papers, attending co-curricular activities, hanging out with friends and family, and doing some of my hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019ve described above sounds nothing like how you\u2019d expect your university life to be, does it? It probably reminds you of high school, and you were 100% ready to leave it all behind as soon as you graduated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides having more responsibilities, you\u2019ll also be expected to handle your own finances, work well together with your assignment group members, network with future colleagues and professionals in your field, work towards your goals and aspirations all while passing your courses with a decent GPA, getting a good night\u2019s sleep and maintaining a good mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound daunting, doesn\u2019t it? With the heavy workload, where\u2019s the time for parties, for clubbing, or even for dating?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the good news is that it is<\/em> possible to achieve all of them. You just have to learn to manage your time wisely, albeit with much less guidance. If you\u2019re far away from family, you\u2019ll need to trust and work together with your friends more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to be disciplined. Set a goal, commit, stay focused, and don\u2019t give up easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes if your focus slips, your motivation wanes, or an unexpected obstacle arises, it\u2019s okay to take a break. It\u2019s okay to lean on others from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as you\u2019re able to stay on track, you\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, university is the perfect playground for you to try new things and meet new people from all walks of life. It is also the perfect chance for you to grow and mature as a person before being thrust into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life as a university student is tough and stressful, but it can also be fun and interesting. Like all things in life, balance is the key. Work hard, have fun, and try a little bit of everything. Depending on how you approach it, your university years can become some of the best years of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this blog is to give you a glimpse into my life, specifically about my life as a student aspiring to become a certified Actuary. The journey may be full of bumps and pitfalls, but one day I\u2019ll reach my destination, and I hope you\u2019ll still be here with me too!
