So I started the Public Relations & Internet Marketing certifications simultaneously last year. Initially I thought I was going to devour the courses within 3-4 months, but then life is life, and life is unpredictable. So I had to travel on consulting assignments across the globe, and though it was fun, but honestly...studying..even at this age...is so therapeutic and cathartic in terms of the stress you get from a globe-trotting job. It's like you're sitting in a 5-star hotel paid for by the client, with all the perks, but something is still not right...haha. And then you log-in to the student portal and start studying, and suddenly you're just a student again, oblivious to where you are and the high-profile work you are doing!
Anyways, I honestly did this whenever I had time, and pretty much without any effort, I cleared the certificate with a 94% grade overall. It really sank in at the end...I'm like "Really? I cleared it all with 94%?! And I didn't even really study??" Wonderful experience it has been, and thanks to all the fellow students for being part of this wonderful journey...
