Graduate Blues


I didn't really know what to call this post so I just went with graduate blues because it's kind of the topic I want to talk about today. Being a graduate.

I feel like I'm not living the graduate life to the full potential. You always here the graduate success stories of people who go onto high paying jobs which are related to their degree and have an amazing life. Then there's the rest of us. Who have no idea what we're doing with our lives.

I'm currently working in a part time job which does pay well and I'm saving a lot money by living at home with my mum which is great. However, I feel like I'm not actually using my degree for anything at the moment because my job has nothing to do with my degree. It kind of makes me wish I made more use out of my university's career guidance.

I did have plans to hopefully get a job this year involving my degree and move out. However, that seems less and less likely. I've grown to learn there's nothing wrong with living at home still. I'm happy being at home and I know I'm not ready to move out yet.

I'm thinking next year will be the year I do move out and get a job involving my degree. I think I'll start making plans in the Autumn/Winter time. We'll see what happens.

At the moment I'm kind of treating this year like the gap year I never had before university. I'm grateful that I do have a job and am able to earn money. At least it's something to add to my CV at the end of the day.

So yeah, I do have some graduate blues but overall I am happy with life at the moment and I'm just taking each day as it comes. Who knows what the future will hold.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my thoughts about life as a graduate.

I'll be back tomorrow with another post for you.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
