Life Update: Finishing University, Moving to London...

Hello!

I vow that this will be the last post where I begin: "Sorry it has been such a long time since my last post...", this is a fresh start! Not just for the blog but for everything, it is a time of changes, lots of changes...

I have finished University

Having received my final grades a few days ago, I can now say I have a Bacheoler of Science in International Marketing! *Applause!* It has been a long time coming, and the best four years, but I officially have finished University and I can't believe it. I have learnt to much in the past four years, not just academically but also learnt a lot about myself and had some of the best experiences. Now I just need to get graduation out of the way and then it is on to new things! Which brings me onto my next piece of news...

I am moving to London

Something I never imagined would actually happen, but I have got graduate a job in London and will be moving there in August! Coming from a small country village, living in London has always been something I wanted to try, and what better time than now. I cannot wait to explore the city and meet new people, it is bound to be a challenge at times (particularly financially) but I am looking forward to the adventure. I barely know London, so it will be the perfect opportunity to blog about it as I explore, and you can explore it with me!

Our course on the day of our final exam

It's been an incredible four years, and I cannot wait to see what the next four might bring.

The end is nigh'...

When I looked at the date today I couldn't believe that it is already nearly April! Where has this year gone?! I feel like i'm a broken record as I always comment on how quickly time goes - but it really does. Particularly this year... Graduation is only a few months away!

Apologies for being so missing-in-action lately, it has truly been a hectic time. Here's a few things I have been getting up to in the past few months:

• My Dissertation - It has crept up on me quickly, and has been taking up my whole life lately. Luckily, it should be done and handed in within the next two weeks so I will hopefully get a social life again!
• Job Hunting - this year has been a blur of application after application for graduate jobs and schemes, and it has been so much more challenging that I ever could have imagined! Though I have faith that I will find one by Summer hopefully! I am excited to leave Uni and start a new chapter somewhere new.
• Starting an Internship - I was lucky enough to have gained a term-time marketing internship which I can do on the side for the last few months of Uni, which is perfect! Extra experience and extra money, what's not to like.
• Visiting friends - As my last year of being a student is quickly moving on, I decided to make the most of my spare time and make the effort to visit friends in various places. I had a weekend trip to Liverpool recently, and last week also went to Leeds. It has made me realise how much of the UK I still have to explore!

So hopefully you will understand how busy I have been lately! But I hope to add many more posts to my blog soon - particularly as my Dissertation will be ticked off in the coming weeks!

What is new with you?
