Being back Home

My year at university has come to an end!
For many that would mean mega excitement, a massive holiday and chilling out for summer, sadly for me it means a whole summer of hard work at my childhood pub. Well I say childhood, I started working there when I was sixteen years old! I have three pieces of coursework left to do and voila! I'm finished!

I'm turning the big 2-0 in the next few months which is something to look forward to (or dread,  I haven't quite decided yet) but I've decided to start thinking about things I want to conquer between now and the end of summer, admittedly one big part is working on my savings, so at least when I finish uni I'll be able to get myself sorted, Ive had one of my oldest friends say they'd come and move up to London to live with me, which would be pretty sweet I must admit, but really I need to start considering war my future is going to entail.

I look at some of my third year friends who are leaving university this summer, and they seem to have all elements of their lives sorted out, some are engaged, others have scored internships or their dream jobs. I'm frequently starting to worry that at the ripe old age of 22, I will have no idea what to do!

I've never considered my life plan, my mother always used to tell me to think about marriage and kids etc, my dads always said to work on my career, quite frankly I've never actually considered it for myself and I have a lot of thinking to do!
A lot of it I'll need a lot of forward planning, I'll need a lot of experience so hopefully, when I'm all moved into my new house in July/August it may be time to start thinking about internships or even volunteering at any opportunity I have!

This has really just been a bit of a life report at the moment, my minds a bit of a mess and quite frankly if I forward plan it stops me thinking about at the moment! I get to escape to 'The North' (as it's famously referred to by one of my friends) next week so hopefully I'll get a bit of free time to sit back and consider a few things and hopefully start the summer in a much happier, better mindset.

Till Next Time,

The Quest for an Internship.

Since a young age I have always looked waaaay into the future! I hate not knowing what comes next, so I had a moment of clarity today in my lecture; I need to find work experience. 

It's a common concept that the film industry is incredibly huge, however to be anyone in that industry you need contacts! And how do you make contacts? Internships, work shadowing and other various methods! I want a fast pass, and when i do finish my degree and become a graduate; i would desperately like to have my life just a little bit easier and have a few contacts knocking around I can ask to lend me a hand! 

In summer next year; an internship would be amazon, and i want a decent one too, i know they're highly competitive, but whats the harm in trying? You have to reach out fully to grasp what you want in life between two hands and that is exactly what i am going to do! 

In other news...
 I did it! I've made a debut youtube video, it's only brief and a basic explanation about me as a person, however it's helping me practice editing techniques and thinking much more about both pre and post production ( a valuable skill within my course!). Fingers crossed it'll get some interest; it's currently uploading itself at the speed of one snail per hour but when it has uploaded, I'll link it in and you guys are more than welcome to have a gander and meet the girl behind this blog. 

Hope everyone is keeping well!
