I Don't Know What To Do With My Life

I thought I'd make this post because I know there is probably a lot of people who feel the same way I do and have no idea what to do with my life. 

I'm twenty four and if someone tells me where do I want to be in five years? Honestly, I have no idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an unhappy person. I'm currently studying a master's degree in Manchester and I'm happy that I've managed to do this. However, in two months I'll be moving back home to Wales and if you're wondering what's next after that. Honestly, no idea. Not a clue. All I know is I'll be surrounded by the best supportive people I know, and they are my family and my best friend. It may feel like you're taking a step back moving back home after living on your own, but it is not. It is hard knowing I could be living in Manchester and embracing the opportunity, I love the city of Manchester and I know for a fact I will return one day but at the moment I'm not in the best financial situation to do that. Also it's lonely. I haven't really made friends here and it's been tough to spend most of my days on my own. Don't get me wrong, I do like my alone time but it is getting to a point where I wish I had someone to talk to other than myself so moving back home will get me back to a support group that I can talk to. I'm planning on saving money, learning to drive (finally) and figuring out what's next. There's so much pressure to have your life figured out in your twenties but with this whole pandemic shaking the world up big time, it makes you realise that you need to ease on the pressure because one moment your life is sorted, next moment a pandemic comes crashing your way and nothing is normal anymore. 

Look at this way: Would you rather someone living on their own, stressing out over finding a job, feeling lonely and worrying about money or someone living with their parents, feeling safe and secure but also very happy. I know which one I'd rather. Parents lay the pressure off your kids, support them, and know you'll be there for them. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes but it's better to have the support of your family and friends rather than doing it on your own. 

Manchester I've enjoyed living here for under a year, but I know what I need to next and that is move back home to figure out where life will take me next. 

Now I know a lot of people feel this way no matter what age you are. I'm 24 and I still don't know what I'm doing with my life, but I do know I'd rather be happy than struggling on my own. There's no right or wrong way to do life but as long as you're happy is what really matters. Finding your support group also helps because you know they'll be there for you no matter what. Whether it's your family or friends, make sure you have that support system in place, and you'll be okay. 

Anyway, that's all I have to really say on the matter. Let me know if you're finding life just as confusing as I am right now. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post. 

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

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
