It has come to mind that I finish my university life in 16 days...just over two weeks I will no longer be an undergraduate and be able to make excuses for my lack of employment. This is a thoroughly scary thought. It has also made me realise that no matter what ambitions or plans I had for my life when I was younger have came true. At the age of 13 I imagined when thinking about an older version of oneself, that at 21 I would have my degree, 22 have a teaching job, 23 be engaged/and or living with my fiance and have a good salary. Alas, at 22 years old, I will be graduating from University in just over two months time, I have no job, no teaching post (as it is ridicuously difficult to get into a PGCE course in Northern Ireland) and have no money to my name. I am facing one of my worst fears at the moment, being an unemployed undergraduate stereotype. I could go as far as to say I am suffering bouts of a middle-life-crisis...this is not a good sign!
I need to get my head cleared, get the last pieces of work completed, handed in and start thinking about this new chapter of my life and where it's going to lead me...every cloud has a silver lining, or so the saying goes...therefore I should take this as a positive step and take a little time to figure out what this thing called life has in store for me! *ohhhhhhh deep*
