‘A rush of emotions’: Krishna on her first day in student accommodation

I finished my Masters dissertation on 4th September 2018 in Nottingham. That same day, I left for home back in India, to meet my family. The trip was very short and I returned on 11th September because I had to move out from Nottingham and begin a new course in London.

After two days of packing, stuffing boxes and lots of luggage, I had an emotional breakdown. I was doing everything alone. My family was in India and I had no friends in Nottingham. For a moment I started questioning myself with everything going around. But a video call from my sister gathered all the courage in me.
