Jisbon all the way, finally the two get it on// Listening to a bit of Oasis Definitely Maybe whilst writing blog posts// I am an independent woman, I can build IKEA furniture on my own!// I did it! My new shelves are built// Watching some Jimmy Kimmel in bed// Sticker book madness begins!// I got shinies!!!// Epic hot chocolate making skills//
It's been an odd week this week; I've mostly been trying to get all my stuff out of boxes and into more permanent homes. This is a lot easier when you actually have places to put said stuff, so eventually a trip to IKEA was needed. I finally got some shelving units to display all of my hair and makeup products, as well as somewhere to store my many hair tools that don't fit into my other draws. I also picked up a pretty funky looking mirror, which as I type is being skilfully mounted on the wall by my father, who keeps asking me questions about measurements I have no clue about.
Overall I've been in a weird post-university limbo. Anyone who has been to Uni and had the sudden and terrifying thrust into the real world, will understand the strange restless feeling I currently have. I have always been in education, or at least knew I would be going back into full-time education in the near future, but now I'm just sort of floating around not knowing what is going to happen. People keep telling me to relax and enjoy not having a job for a while, but the truth is I've done the whole unemployed thing before and it was not fun. I love having a job and having something to work towards and goals to reach, I like being busy! At the moment I have been splitting my time between sleeping, eating, running and playing LEGO Marvel and I'm a little bored.
Hopefully this is just an adjustment period, I'll get over it and my head will stop spinning and I'll get my focus back. In the mean time I'm going to try and put all my energy into my blog, YouTube channel and I might even have a bash at a bit of script writing. Hopefully I'll be back to work soon but till then I'll be tapping in to my creativity to keep myself sane!
Have you ever experienced post-university limbo? Are you like me and enjoy having things to do?
Post uni limbo is hard work! It took me 9 months after graduating to find a job doing what I trained to do and it was a stressful time! it does get better though :] I would say enjoy the rest, I worked 3 jobs while at uni and my 'proper job' has still been a shock to the system haha

haha I've only just decided what I want to do (I hope). I thought for a while that I didn't want to go into the industry related to my degree, but now I think I would. I'm so indecisive and I'm also very impatient which makes waiting to hear back from job offers excruciating haha xx
DeleteI hated post university life after completing my BA that I went back to do an MA, I missed it too much after doing my exams and the day after graduation I applied.After that though I ended up working temp Christmas jobs. Enjoy the rest, poke at jobs through, but enjoy the summer for a while!
ReplyDeleteI always said that I would never ever go back into full time education but recently I found an MA course that could really help and I can do it online rather than having to go in, so I'm keeping that in mind once I hear back from jobs I've already applied for :)
