today, we got three copies of our final year project report - each 270 pages long - printed. tomorrow, we will be handing in the report for submission. after tomorrow, we are left with our oral presentation next month. it feels so surreal how fyp is coming to an end and we can finally say "panggang!" as we celebrate the end of one chapter and the start of another.
our project started in june 2020, and the topic on sustainable cosmetics was not even in our ideation stage. we had a few meetings with our prof and many discussions with elimination processes before we finally narrowed down to this rather new topic that not many might be interested in, which also served as one of the obstacles we had to overcome during our campaign period.
it hasn't been an easy ride - there were many times we couldn't agree on certain views and there was even a point where we felt stagnant. while my team mates were rather optimistic about an expected outcome, i wasn't too enthusiastic about it. but i'm glad we are in the team together to pull through, to plan and execute the various activities throughout our campaign. covid-19 restrictions meant that there were limitations to what we can do offline, which was not very ideal for us, so we had to think of other ways to engage the audience.
during this period of time, annying had been meticulously leading our group and liaising with many brands and partners at once, isabel had been actively updating our blog and proofreading the report before every submission, and dina had been creating content and visuals for our instagram page. it's hard to believe that our campaign had been live for almost four months now, and we will soon be wrapping it up.
maybe, just maybe, i'm a little bit emotional that my decade-long educational journey is going to be over soon - and that i will be $32k poorer as well.
all the love and till next time x
