Where Have I Been?

Oh boy, I meant to make this post back in September, but I wasn't happy with the post I made and then I completely forgot until now. 

I don't even know how to explain my absence from this blog because I don't know why I left it so long. I had planned to blog every day in August I even have 8 draft posts but a lot of them were unfinished and the posting never happened. Let's just say life got in the way and a lot has happened since I last posted on here. 

As some of you know if you've been reading my blog, I was in Manchester this year studying for my master's degree and over the summer I had a 14,000 word dissertation to complete. My life became very busy and stressful doing this dissertation but also the worry about what I was going to do after my master's degree. My original plan was to do an internship after my dissertation but after several unsuccessful interviews and job applications that didn't happen, so I had to move back to plan B which is to move back home to Wales as I ran out of money from studying this master's degree. Thus began the endless job hunting which I am still doing to this day. Luckily, I have the best mum in the world and is allowing me a roof over my head. You don't realise the struggle job hunting is until you have to job hunting. The number of applications you have to write which most of them end up being pointless because some of these jobs you never hear from again or remain hopeful they'll get back to you. Then there are the very few interviews you get, and this gets your hopes even higher than the rejection comes which leads you back to square one. I've also noticed how unfair some companies are because there was one company that I had applied for one job and didn't get it, but they had a completely different job role available which when I tried to apply said I couldn't until six months later because I had already been rejected by them for a different job. Like at least let me apply for that other job because that might be better suited to me, but nope. Can't happen weirdly enough. Sorry, I'm ranting but it is a little unfair. It's all fair to say to someone get a job or I can't believe you don't have a job. Don't you think I haven't been trying? Every day I'm checking for jobs. Every week I'm applying to no avail. It's a struggle that I must go through and maybe I will get that job. Who knows?

Anyway, on a lighter note, it was my birthday a week ago to which I turned 25. I'm planning on learning to drive soon which is another thing I've been meaning to do for some time. It might make my life just a little bit easier. 

So here I am again. I am planning to make more posts now that I have a lot more free time than I did before so stay tuned for some more regular posting from me soon. 

Thank you for sticking around on this blog. It means a lot to have people reading my posts. I will 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

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
