Post-Graduate blues

January 15th 2015 marked the end of my academic journey at the University of Derby. I had successfully completed a BA (Hons) History degree, and I walked on stage with my friends in front of family, my fiance and the lecturers who have supported and challenged me over three years'.

It does fly by so quickly, and in between job applications, working full-time and realising that post-graduation life is not as glamourous as they tell you in secondary school, I have come to the conclusion that yes, I have the post-grad blues and miss my student life terribly.

In a bid to keep researching and writing, I have decided to bring my blog back to life. Not posting a single entry for nearly 7 months is very embarrassing, but hopefully, in between back-to-back shifts and interviews, I will be able to inject some humour and life into my written world - after all, it is a projection of what I think every day but may never say.

I will be reviewing some books, articles, and of course - updating with some wedding tips and ideas which I come across as I plan my own wedding (still love telling people we're engaged!)

Until then, I must swig down my decaffeinated coffee without burning the roof of my mouth and make the journey towards my late shift this evening.
