So it's been a while since my last post and things have certainly progressed.
I'm now a full-time Account Executive for the Mustard Agency, having successfully negotiated £2 more an hour than was offered. I've said my fond farewells to Triibe and I'm feeling really positive.
It's been six months now since I left Uni and though I still miss the people, it suddenly dawned on me this week that I wouldn't want to go back. I had just got home from work and went into my sister's room and there she was up to her eye-balls in coursework, as usual, stressed and feeling guilty for coming down to eat dinner.
I realised I had nothing to do all evening other than relax completely and utterly guilt free after 8 hours of well paid work... it was an bizarrely liberating feeling as I realised homework/coursework/assignments/dissertations and the guilt of never quite feeling I've done enough is no longer a part of my life! And hell I don't miss it one bit.
I'm also really enjoying the structure and purpose to my life that I haven't experienced since school. I have made a commitment to work 9-5, 5 days a week and I enjoy the weekends more knowing I've accomplished something and will be rewarded financially for having done so.
I have a wonderfully fulfilling relationship, a true companion and my friends, god its truly like we're not apart. Everyone is so dedicated to meeting up and making it work I couldn't ask for anymore.
So there we are... I'm a graduate and I'm OK!
This is a great relief to me to read this! I'm very worried about everything after uni. If I can get a job/grad scheme, get one I actually like, with a future, where i'm going to live, all the nights that I'm going to miss out on.
ReplyDeleteBut this has made me feel slightly better! Just gotta get on with this dissertation!
This was lovely to read, Ani. I'm so happy that you're feeling a million times better and more importantly, I cannot wait to see you soon!!
