The end of Uni
So today, Monday 8th May 2017 saw myself hand in the last final bit of university work, my dissertation.
Over 10,000 words on "The representation and punishment of women in The Walking Dead." 💀
3 years of uni and now, the scary realisation that now is the real world, the big scary world of work. Well, first of all I need to actually find myself a job first. Easier said than done, trust me.
So as I now have some spare time, it's time to reflect on my uni experience.
It's not been great, some people say that university is the best time of your life, which if that is the case, God help me because when things have been rough at uni, they've been really rough. However, it's not all been bad. I have made the greatest friend in the world - my Jam. I've also learnt how to be my own independent person. I have a rough idea of how to look after myself!
These last 3 years I have faced challenges along the way. My health being the biggest of these challenges. My Diabetes has put me in hospital a total of 6 times during my 3 years of uni. My anxiety and mental state has made it near impossible on occasion to even get out of bed. My nan's stroke hit me back, my grandma's kidney cancer, the sudden death of my great great uncle Arthur. There's been a lot go on whilst I've been at uni. That doesn't even take into consideration the failed friendships and relationships along the way - all of which were toxic and I'm so much better without.
These 3 years have been a hard time, the amount of effort that goes into each piece of work submitted is ridiculous. Never mind how much in debt I now am. But, overall, I'm glad I've come to uni. I've learnt more, not just subject wise but, also about myself and other people.
Whilst I'm happy that I've now got no more university work to submit and I NEVER have to Harvard reference again in my life (hopefully), I'm also filled with sadness. The friends that I do have at uni, are going to go their own directions. No longer will we be able to just spontaneously go to the pub for a drink together or watch the footie.
3 years have gone by so fast. I'm so proud of what I've managed to achieve despite the hurdles in my way.
