In 7 weeks time, i'll be tearing my wardrobe to pieces, trying to find 'that' outfit, the one to make an impression, choosing a bag from what my mother describes as a ridiculous amount of bags, and trying to decide which shoes are the right shoes to complete my look. The day? Day 1 of university. The day that for the last 2 years i've been expecting, yet now its here its come so soon!
This is not the first time I have had this niggling in me that says, is this the right decision? Because this time last year i decided that university was not for me. It scared me and for a long time i went along with everyone saying it was the 'thing' to do. But sometimes its not. And even though I am now ready to go to university and the whole experience is completely right for me, its taken me a whole year to get there. For the last year, i've worked, applied for tons of jobs and experience and all of it made me realise what i want to do for the next 3 years.
I recently read an article in company magazine, where they asked people what they wanted to do jobwise, and told them how they could achieve it. And not all of the successful people they asked went to university, many are where they are today through sheer determination, and their personality.
So in 7 weeks time, i may or may not be doing the right thing, but do you know what? I don't care. I'm still young and have my whole life to make an impression on the world. University is just one chapter in my life, one that cannot come sooner! Don't listen to the people who tell you, you can't get anywhere without going to university. Because i've been out, i've worked and not everyone went to university. You need to do whats right for you, not for everyone else. And if that means taking the time out to decide then do it! You only live once and you should have no regrets!
I am so excited, i've already started buying a 'university wardrobe' with those must-haves. Its all i'm thinking about at the moment and i can't wait to get learning again!
Just follow your heart, while listening to your head! They'll both be right ..... D x
