1. Do you prefer to work alone or in a group?
Well, you know, I’d say it really depends on the task. If I’m working on something that requires deep focus or creative thinking, I prefer to work alone. There’s just something about being able to control the environment, you know? No distractions, just pure focus. But, I will say, when it comes to brainstorming or tackling big projects, I definitely see the value in working with a group. Different perspectives always help spark new ideas, and the energy can be contagious. So, yeah, I’d say I lean towards working alone most of the time, but there’s definitely a time and place for teamwork.
2. Do you prefer to work at home or in the workplace?
I’ll be honest with you—I’m all about working from home. It’s just so much more flexible, and I can create the environment that suits me. No commute, no distractions, just a space where I can really focus and get things done. Plus, I can manage my time how I want. But, you know, sometimes you need to get out of the house and change the scenery. That’s when the workplace or a co-working space comes in. It’s good for meetings and having a clear boundary between work and personal life. So yeah, I prefer home, but the workplace has its place when necessary.
3. What part of your school do you like the most?
Hmm, when I think back to school, I’d say I really enjoyed the marketing and business classes. Honestly, those were the ones that sparked my interest in entrepreneurship. I loved the real-world application of everything we were learning—how marketing wasn’t just theory, but something that could really drive a business forward. The strategic side of things always excited me, you know? I also enjoyed group projects, especially when we had to come up with a business plan or marketing campaign. That’s where I started developing the skills I use today. So yeah, the business classes, by far, were the best part for me.
4. What is your favourite place to study?
I mean, for me, it’s gotta be a quiet, comfortable space where I can focus. I don’t need anything fancy—just a desk, a good chair, and some peace and quiet. The trick is to make the space work for me, you know? I’ve found that I focus best when I have everything organized, with minimal distractions. Sometimes I’ll study at home, sometimes I’ll head to a coffee shop if I’m looking for a little background noise. Honestly, I think the key is finding a place that allows you to get in the zone. And for me, that’s usually at home or a quiet spot in a café.
5. Do you prefer to study at home or in a library?
Ah, this is an easy one—I prefer studying at home. The library is great, sure, but it just feels a bit too… rigid for me. I like the comfort and flexibility of being at home. I can make my own schedule, have my favorite snacks nearby, and, of course, I can listen to music if I want to. The library is super quiet, and while that sounds like a good thing, I don’t like feeling like I’m in a “study prison,” you know? I feel more at ease when I can just chill at home and get things done at my own pace.
