Saying Goodbye To University

I've finally done it. Three years of studying have officially come to an end. It doesn't feel like it has completely sunk in yet, even though it's been a solid 3 weeks since I sat my last exam. I'm not sure of the point that it will.. maybe when I permanently move in back home, who knows. The second to last post I published here on my blog explained how I was taking a back seat from blogging to get my head down and focus on my last assignments. It's crazy that they're all done now, and all I'm waiting on is results day. No more exams, ever!

I'm not sure how to feel about the end of uni - it's such a mixed bag of emotions. I feel so happy and relieved to be able to say that I put my all into my degree, and I couldn't be more proud of myself for that. It's also the most bizarre yet rewarding reality that I have a degree! But on the other hand, I know that it's going to be so weird moving my things out of my flat for the last time, knowing I'm not going to be returning for another year of study. It's always been the case where I'd be able to enjoy my summer knowing that I'd return to uni in September, it's acted almost as a little comfort. But that's not going to be the case this time round.

The best way I can describe how I feel is that I know it is time to move onto something else. Three years have flown by, this year definitely quicker than the other two. But I'm more than certain how ready I am for a break from education, and to get stuck into something else that will enable me to flourish. 

I've thoroughly enjoyed my course, and have learnt so many new things. I'm looking forward to the next step, what ever that may be I don't know. But things will all fall into place I'm sure. I have well and truly celebrated the end of uni within the last 3 weeks. The Summer Ball was definitely a highlight of my third year. It's always so nice to get dressed up and there was nothing better than celebrating with my favourite people. More recently, I had the most incredible trip to New York (posts to follow hehe). I'm truly on cloud 9 at the moment. 

If you've been to University, how did you celebrate it coming to an end?

Welcoming May

This year is absolutely flying by. It's crazy to think that Christmas was over 4 months ago - where does the time go?! I have been dreading the approach of the month of May, for what feels like ages, and in a couple of days time, it will finally be upon us.
May is officially my last month at university and probably going to be one of the busiest month's of the whole three years I have spent studying. Technically, I have 4 deadlines - two exams, one essay and of course, the dissertation. It doesn't seem that long ago that I came to an applicant day where lecturer's were explaining the layout of my course and what the dissertation is all about. And now we're every so slowly approaching the deadline submission date and I just can't get my head around that. It feels so surreal! I'm going to have a degree, it's crazy. No longer being a student is definitely something that will take some getting used too. I am both looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time - it's a step out into the real world if you will. Such an exciting, but daunting and frankly, terrifying thought. I'm 1000% going to need to channel all the motivation and productiveness into smashing these last few weeks... Wish me luck haha.
I apologise in advance if my little space here becomes a bit neglected over the next couple of weeks. I am most definitely going to put my all into these last couple of assignments, and end the whole three years of university on a high.

Are you looking forward to anything in the month of May?
