Ah, networking. Never before had I heard a word so many times without fully understanding what it was all about. From my first year, networking has been a concept that I’ve been encouraged to do as much as the chance…

As someone who is about a 100% awkward with first encounters, no one understands the butterflies that come with them better than I do. More importantly, all of the pressures associated with first impressions leave me more nervous than Frodo…
