Websites, coding, movies, games \u2026 I was hooked! I wanted to get deeper into computers and criminalistics, but only one of them wasn\u2019t good enough, I wanted it all. I spent a lot of time figuring out how I should go about this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/files\/2016\/09\/Tamer-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4952\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/files\/2016\/09\/Tamer-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tamer - Cyber\" width=\"448\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a>Skip to 12 December 2015. BU was the first of all five universities from my list to email me a conditional offer. At that moment I was more excited for the offer than for my upcoming birthday! Boy, was I right to be so!<\/p>\n<p>My friends and family were also excited and they made it impossible for me not to feel nervous and under pressure, because they were sure I would meet the conditions of my offer. You know what? I loved that feeling. It felt like I was doing something big and everyone seemed to believe in me. It was a unique experience, seeing the life I imagined become my reality while also having all that support from everyone.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that time is passing fast and the future quickly turns into present. Blink a few times and here I am, packing for my new life at BU. Blink a few more times and you might see me graduating. But blink as much as you want, BU will remain a part of me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there! I\u2019m Tamer from Romania and I will be 20 years old in December.
