Leaving University and Moving On

Hi everyone. So, I finished my final university exam yesterday, and to be honest i'm not sure whether I want to celebrate, or cry. Nearly three years ago, I set off for the next chapter of my life - leaving home, moving 200 miles away and starting university. I could not even begin to imagine the end; completing a dissertation, and final year exams. But today i'm sitting here, and feeling pretty useless to be honest. I've become accustomed to having something to accomplish, continuous mounds of reading to pile through, and now it feels strange to no longer have to think of what i've got to do next.

I guess that going to university has taught me a lot, i'm more organised, i've become motivated, and learnt to set high goals to achieve. I am the first person in my family to go to university, despite my parents not really initially wanting me to. They believed that because they didn't have to, I shouldn't have to - but I guess that the world has changed a lot, and going to university has become something that we believe will shape our careers. Who knows what my future will hold now. 

My most important piece of advice that I can give to get you through the final months of university is have something to look forward to at the finishing line - for me, i'm going to Disneyland on Monday, and set to move into my new home next weekend when the sale completes. I am so proud of what I've achieved, and to be honest, two months ago I could not even begin to imagine that I would make it - you just have to get through the low points, and you will come out on top. I'm lucky that I have had such amazing support, pushing me forward every time that I thought I could no longer do it.

So who knows what the future will hold? And to be honest, I can't wait. I now need to set my sites on my next goal, which I have - finding a job, and settling in to the next chapter of my life. Who knows where I'll end up. 

Lots of Love,
