See I was going to name this post 'Teething Problems' but I ended up calling the blog it by complete accident. This is the state I am currently in. I wanted to call my entire blog 'Turning adult'. This is because I am 21. I am graduating in June and everything in my life is yet to be determined. I figured that writing a blog might be some way of accepting the fact that I am not so young any more and embracing the long adventure and journey I am about to set off on.
However, teething problems might just be more apt for it.
Before I rush into any problems or angsts I may best introduce myself.
I'm 21 (just turned thereof), have a boyfriend (for a year) and studying Psychology as a Bachelor degree.
Thus far on my long road into career-dom, I have worked as a librarian (only 15 years old!!), a cafe assistant serving coffee and tea to students, an office assistant, collating together files for a conference with important documents, a cafe assistant again, making breakfasts and food for the recovering mentally ill, campus tours around my university and college, acting as assistant to the assistant admissions secretary, tutoring sixth form children into pursuing a higher education degree and taking notes for the disabled/those who have difficulty learning. My work experience is vast and wide and I indeed, as I set out into each and every one of them, have stories to tell. However, what I want to do for the next 40 years is completely up in the air.
For those who were or are or even those who are reading this before my age, have all been here. We all wanted to be vets, children's presenters, authors like JK Rowling. But what are the chances? 1 in a few million I guess. So what do I want to be? A teacher (conform to the parents), a novelist (my lifelong dream), a journalist (and pull people's lives apart). I just don't know. And this is the main problem I shall be battling with for the next few months. Well, that is the time frame I shall be hoping for. I need to put justice to the £24 000 degree I bought into and come to terms with the fact that it won't even give me the First I was aiming for...
So this blog is about battling my teething problems and getting into the adult world.
This is more than teething problems...this is Turning Adult.
