Pride and Disdain

It often feels like I’m at the edge of the world, always just nearly able to enter it. The way I see the world and experience life seems normal to me but, too often, I am reminded that it is not quite so.

I began my studies at Helsinki University in 2008. Now, I’ll finally be getting my Master’s Degree diploma, marking the end of my university studies. During that time, I’ve seen a lot of changes happen to the system, and my own perception has developed and shifted accordingly. For the most part, I’ve been grateful to have the chance to study in Finland, but I’d be remiss not to speak out about some troubling developments.
