Focus
What is our Focus? It sounds like it鈥檚 about planning our future, but it鈥檚 actually one of the greatest tools for helping our present.
Career anxiety
I鈥檓 in my penultimate year now, so I have to start planning a strategic and effective exit plan.
Have you seen my purpose?
I'm a person of many loves and hobbies, and this makes choosing the 'right' degree real tough for me sometimes.

Where are we going in life?
High school is hard. Starting uni is hard. Being a student and working is hard. Some people can do it. Some people can barely juggle it. Some of us know exactly what we want to do and where we want to go in our careers and in life.聽But a lot of us have no idea and are only at uni because it was 鈥渂etter than doing nothing鈥, or because people聽have certain expectations of us. Wherever we are in life, we are all in the same boat, but聽it's important to remember to live.聽
Turning 21
I just turned 21 a few weeks ago. In the聽couple of weeks leading up to it, I kept forgetting it was coming up, seriously just went right over my head. I can鈥檛 tell if it was my subconscious trying to block out the fact that I鈥檓 getting older, that its time to be an adult, be more responsible, that soon my parents will kick me out.聽Or that life is so fleeting, passing by so, so quickly like how dare she!... Seriously what鈥檚 the deal?!聽I鈥檝e realized recently that I haven鈥檛 been making the most of my life. A lot of you may feel the same way, so what can we do to feel like we're actually living?聽Writing it down in this blog has actually helped me to self reflect, to realise that I actually have done a lot and have a lot going for myself. Hope this inspires you as a reader.聽
Money and meaning
The final week of summer is upon us. Although I鈥檒l be missing the glory of summer days, it鈥檚 quite exciting that the university campus will be welcoming eager young minds into its halls again. It鈥檚 the start of a new academic year, we have new leadership with a new Vice-Chancellor at the helm, and there鈥檚 the promise of new beginnings which gives hope. There鈥檚 also Mad March and then looking forward to cooling nights, indulgent pasta, and winter.
