I am so proud of myself, half the time my issue when it comes to doing uni work is my lack of ability to say no to social things. I just hate feeling left out so I put my uni work on the back burner and go out and have fun. Tonight is the last night that I can edit my dissertation, and my flatmates decide to go see the avengers movie, THE ONE NIGHT I cant go. Obviously I’m not going to stop them going but it took so much willpower to say no and come back to my room! Dissertations suck ass.

NO

Here comes the inevitable 'oh-my-god-I-finish-uni-in-a-matter-of-weeks-and-I-don't-want-to-accept-the-reality'.  It's not like I don't want to do with my life, that's actually sorted. My plan is to get onto the Publishing MA Course long distance, and work around that for funding and just money to live on. After that editorial assistant in Laaaandaan!

 But...over summer and the next two years, I'm going to be at home. This is something I never thought I’d struggle with. But spending three years away at university and then interning in London...it's a bit different coming home. There's the fact I need to learn to drive and afford a car so I can transport myself, continue going to the gym and then socialising. My house is a bit off the beaten track so mobility is challenging.

 However, I am thinking of a three month job in Aber. Broken down, 12 weeks at 36.7 hours of work will probably fly by. It's just a matter of accommodation, and whether I can commit. It would allow me to be in a place I love and I wouldn't be completely on my own. I'd miss  my friends, my  family, but then I'd make the effort to see them when I could (holiday, weekends etc). It would let me have a break from retail.  

 I'm going to miss  Aber A LOT. Not only the course, more importantly the people and the communal living with my best friends. I'll miss them but thankfully, they are in commuting distance. Still, every post-student knows what I'm, what many third years are going through. Living at home will be fine- I'll be surrounded by friends and family, live rent free...but it's not  going to be the same.

 I'm not exactly in a rut but I feel like there will be moments when I experience a hurricane inside. Then again, it will blow over because I am one determined girl.
