Third Year Is Stressful


We're already ten days into February and I've only just now made a blog post. I do have an excuse though which you may already know what it is from the title of this blog post. Third year of university is probably the most stressful year of them all and that's because it's a lot more pressure this year. By the end of third year, all the marks in my assignments goes towards my degree which is kind of the whole point of uni in the first place to get a degree.

Anyway, I'm doing advertising and media studies which many people (the ones who have no idea) think is an easy degree. It's not. It's still just as hard as any other degree. No degree is easy to get. You have to work hard to get it. I have essays and reports to write, I have advertising campaigns to make and I have to complete six advertising briefs while on top of that write a 10,000 word dissertation. All the while not trying to have a mental breakdown and I also need time to eat, sleep, socialise and of course the most important (and most needed) thing is time to relax. Yeah, third year is kind of stressful but I'm slowly getting through it. I'm actually writing this today (Saturday) still in bed (it's 09:44 in the morning) and after I've published this post then I'm going to get ready and actually work on my dissertation so yeah. I have had a relaxing morning so far so it's okay.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that if you're in university, college, school or even working and you're finding it very stressful. It's all going to be okay in the end. You can get through this. Soon it'll be over and if you are stressed just take a step back. Relax. Don't stress yourself out to much. If you're really struggling then talk to someone. Whether it's a parent, sibling, friend, teacher, lecturer boss or just someone you can trust then talk to them. They'll listen to you and they can help you.

So that's all I have to say for now. I just wanted to give you all a little update as to why there has been a lack in blog posts. I'll try to stick to posting every Friday but it is a very busy time for me in third year. Deadlines are coming up and I have assignments plus a dissertation to do which are a priority for me right now as they kind of determine my future so yeah. Bear with me. You'll get a blog post every now and then so I'm not going to completely disappear.

Stay strong because it'll soon be all over and you will finally be able to relax. I'll be back again soon with another blog post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
