I finished university last May and actually fell into depression, I'm still recovering. I never expected to feel so lonely and lost after uni and I felt ashamed of that and hid myself away which only fed my low mood. We should all be talking more about preparing for life after university, not just discussing how to get a good job. It's actually quite scary how quickly everything around you changes in the space of a few months, and some people just aren't built to go with the flow without any hiccups. We need to normalise life hiccups. Such an important video!
"during school and university, you're always told that you can achieve the most and be amazing and that you've got endless potential and you can do whatever you want, and then you leave university and all of a sudden nobody wants you and no one is interested in what you've got to offer" wow girl, I am whole ass crying!!! As a recent MA graduate who is getting rejection after rejection after rejection, I cannot tell you how much I needed this video. just, tysm xxx
I've literally just been offered a full-time design job after working part-time in a supermarket for 8 months after graduating! All my friends seemed to land their dream jobs straight away and I had to move home. But my time has come!!! I very much like the 'everyone has their own path' and 'be patient' mantras, I must have applied for 20 jobs a week, rejection after rejection before I got this one. Keep on keeping on! Things will happen for you!
I’m 25, I graduated from university in 2015 & I’m still stuck in this exact situation... living with my parents, being treated like a little kid, working in a members only club & still no luck with the endless job applications. So yeh it does get really hard especially when both of your younger sisters have finished uni, fell into the ‘perfect’ careers & moved out with their partners. Most days I feel pretty crappy about how things are going, I just hope something better is around the corner.
Bloody Hell when did all these subs arrive?!?!? Been subscribed for years and I'm so so so happy you're getting the recognition you deserve! I'm no expert but I guess the recent videos on body confidence and Size 14 Fashion have something to do with it as they have been my fav videos you've made too! Would love to see some hauls from brands like Zaful, Wish, Shein ect as they are all over my feed at the moment but all the girls doing them are size 8/10 so would be good to see some from a more relatable perspective. Lotsa love and congrats on the subs!!!!xxx
Now that I have a "big girl" job in a field I like, I can look back and 100% say that ALL OF THIS is *so true.* I wish someone had been around to validate my anxieties, but also support me through the long, treacherous period of job seeking with wisdom like this. Thank you so much for putting all this into words Lucy!
After having graduated uni for a year, still living at home and in my first full-time job that's not relevant to my degree, this is so refreshing! We all put so much pressure on ourselves, but we forget that life is about experiencing things, and not everything will be good and perfect, but that's okay ☺️
I really needed to hear someone say this, I graduated uni last year- and I was a course hopper so I’m halfway through being 24.. I chose media of course. I’m working full time in retail applying all the time to jobs but from 80% I’m not even getting a rejection email. My boyfriends a high flyer he’s really supportive but he’s a bit younger than me and he’s the one that’s got a great job after uni - so I can’t help but feel I’m behind. I think my mum lost hope she’s one of those bragging parents and since there’s nothing to boast about she’s uninterested. Actually this morning she said to me “you’ll still be living your student life even when your 30”. I chose a degree in a really hard industry to get in to and right now I don’t know what I want to do.
What a cracking video! Such helpful and accurate advice. I felt exactly the same after Uni. Went into retail to earn money, followed that path to management for a couple of years. Then changed my mind, taught myself how to code and did a career 180! I am now working as a web developer, having done a completely unrelated science degree. You cannot plan everything even if you want to (and i do love a plan)! Moving out of home is the next step though - I totally relate to the not moving forward thing! Definitely don't resent living at home, as you said it is a huge privilege to have parents that welcome you back so you can figure things out - make the most of it, but contribute what you can too (whether it is money or helping around the house). Lucy :) x
I'm graduating next month and this video has addressed all the things I've been terrified of when the time comes to move back home and start job-hunting without knowing what I want to do with me life... Thank you for this video! x
I'm 24 and I graduating a few years ago too - I LOVE this, I think "black hole" is the best way to describe it haha, I always try to share my experience too to make people feel less alone in this, so thank you for sharing yours! Very comforting to know we aren't alone! Much love, A! :)
Oh my gosh, me a year ago needed to hear this! I suffered from depression after finishing uni and realised that the industry I thought I loved wasn't for me anymore. Honestly, I needed this and I think a lot of people will appreciate hearing this.
Instantly made me feel so much better about my last 8 months after graduating! I feel this is something every parent/family member needs to watch please and understand why the question "so what are you doing right now?" is the worst thing to ask - especially when so many graduates have mental health issues preventing them from "doing" anything
I just graduated with my PhD. Literally the most stressful thing ever lol, I have nightmares about my student loans (6 figures of debt is terrifying). But your advice is so good and definitely what I've been trying to remind myself of. I keep telling myself if I can finish a PhD, I can handle whatever comes next. I had been job searching for months prior to graduating and finally the week of graduation I got an offer for a full time teaching position at my uni. Best news ever. And I'm starting to freelance as a writer/editor to supplement (because student loans). So nice to see someone talking about this, the stakes are a little different for me (37 with a PhD is a little different than 22 with a Bachelors) but graduating is scary in general. Oh, and I second moving back home if necessary. I did it after my BA and after my first Masters. You do what you need to do. :)
I'm a bit late on finding this video but I just HAD to comment and say thank you for making it. Thank you so much. Every single thing you said struck a chord with me. It was exactly what I needed to hear
Thank You for this video. It also gives sense in quarantine time, as I left uni to go back home, my mom is throwing some replics about "wouldn't you like to get a job?" and it is off outting because, I am still studying to finish 3rd year. I feel that pressure even now. I really think the future will be very simmilar. And You inspire me to think about my life and prepare for actual finish of my studies of IR which is super sophisticated field to have a career in.
I am so grateful I found this video. I am 5 years older than you but I have so much to learn from you. I was the annoying asshole who left college with a job offer and got married soon after. We even bought our own flat. Fast forward 8 years and now I am living in my parents house after my second baby while hubby tries to sort out his new job at a new location. My first child has a disability and I had to stay home to look after him and his therapy. Life can not only change in a split second because of the next wrong decision, sometimes it changes just without any reason. So yeah...there is no point comparing with anyone about anything
This video spoke to my SOUL! I feel sooo lost since finishing uni and feel really useless for not getting a job in the sector I want to be in. But this video was extremely helpful. Been bingeing your videos all night!!
Thanks so much for this Lucy! I graduated last year and the past year has been a big struggle mentally for me. But things are looking up now and this advice is exactly what I needed myself a year ago, it does get better and positivity is key 😊xx
my last day of uni was three days ago and ive moved back home. feel like i want a few weeks before i get a job because my uni course was so draining and exhausting but i feel like im so lost and i cant just relax and i should be doing something or going somewhere. feels awful not having anything planned and knowing that every decision i make now as an adult is gonna impact my entire life
This video really resonated with my Lucy! I graduated a year ago and I've probably had the most miserable year of my life. I moved back in with my parents, I work a job I hate and feel like I'm going no where. To top it all off I went to university in a different country so all my friends live in that country (and all my old friends from school took gap years/study 4 year degrees so they're still at universities dotted all across the UK, most likely not to come home as I live in Northern Ireland and job prospects aren't great). I did a degree in illustration and my goal is to illustrate children's books one day so the only thing that keeps me going is working on my portfolio and working towards my goal in my free time. It's so reassuring to know that most people feel this way, and it won't be like this forever!
Neeeded this. Graduated a year ago and have been in this bubble of depression since as I’m yet to find a graduate job, living st home and have minimal friends in my town as everyone spread out post uni. Thanks for the advice. it’s nice to feel Less alone
Thank you, thank you again Lucy! I'm two years out of school, and though I'm really thankful to have a stable job somewhat in my field, it's still hard not to be disappointed that I'm not doing something more "impressive" at this stage in my life. My therapist is helping remind me that the hobbies and projects I'm pursuing outside of my day job might turn into something a lot more exciting down the road, and I have to try and be patient and work toward them and not get caught up in my day to day. You're so right, I'm providing for myself and living with my other half, so I'm at least doing that much right.
This was exactly the video I needed right now. I graduated less than a month ago and was one of those annoying people with a job offer ready to go lol but I still found myself needing to hear all of this. I jumped right into a career and find myself seeing the grass as greener on the other side - part of me wishes I had a larger break between college and working for the rest of my life. I also have moved home and left all of my friends. You've helped me look at all of this a little bit differently and realize that we all have our own paths. Thank you for this.
You got this spot on Lucy! I’ve experienced everything you mentioned, and four years on, I’m still working towards my goals and I’m happy with where I’m at. It seems like you are too! Motivation can’t be lost and dreams shouldn’t be set aside for small jobs that pay the way at first and end up taking over, a new graduate with big aspirations should just keep them in sight. Don’t let goals get lost in the midst of trying to pay back debt or moving out too quickly. It will happen in the end.
Just graduated yesterday and was looking for jobs two months prior, had no luck and decided to look for part-time jobs and if things get dry I would move to my parents' house (we already discussed this even though it feels awkward from my part). I've listened to people and watched videos, such as this one, and I find them all useful and comforting. I was only afraid that I would disappoint my family, however, I always did things right and shouldn't really feel too sad or bad. I have good freinds and people who understand me and that helps me to keep my usual bubbly character~ Thank you for the video and cheering for me/us!
I needed this video!!! Finished uni a year ago and moved home then moved away to work and now thinking about moving home to try and work on the area I studied. It is videos like this that are making that sub count rise. you deserve it x
I am full on in the phase of post-uni-desperately-trying-to-get-a-job-because-I-want-my-own-income-ugh and each time I get depressed or anxious about the process (which is often!) I come here for new energy and reassurance. Thanks to everyone in the comment section too :)
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I moved back home yesterday after uni, I was so excited to move back home but now I’m here, I just feel like i have no purpose! I’ve been in my room contemplating my life and thinking what I’m going to do next haha
I have my LAST EVER exam tomorrow and watching this now was was a great idea. Thank you for this!! I feel so much more confident and less stresses about "life after uni"

Your videos are always so helpful and amazing! I'm not graduating (I haven't even started uni...) but what you said really helped a lot. I wasn't able to go to uni in the beginning of the year like everyone else and I had to start working (in really crappy jobs) and I just felt like I was in a wrong path and doing something wrong because I wasn't here I was supposed to be... but what you said in this video really helped me a lot... So thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been graduated two years now and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. I still don’t have a job in my career, and I’ve felt completely lost. And I always feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m not where I should be. It’s just nice knowing I’m not alone.
Class of 2013 over here! I feel ya girl I still feel like I'm 18, still have no idea where I'm going career wise, spend most of my spare money on wine and plane tickets and constantly feel like I'm behind "for my age". Love this video, some great advice!
This video has come at such a perfect time! I've honestly never been so confused in my life after finishing Uni.. this has given me a lot of comfort during this time. Thank you ❤️
I’m a singer and actress graduating from conservatory in a couple of weeks, just had an intake at a coffee bar. Just the idea that a company is happy to take me in after lots of no’s makes me feel so good! I’m looking forward to not having so much pressure coming from other students that are going to audition after audition. I want to focus on what I want and working in a coffee bar seems like a great way to start the process! Good luck to everyone that’s graduating, we’ll be fine!
Once piece of advice I would add is, do NOT define yourself by your job title. I graduated 3 years ago now, joined a graduate scheme with a large UK company 3 months after graduating, moved cities, thought I had it all worked out. I was made redundant after 18 months, and only then did those feelings of being completely lost and confused come out. I didn’t know who I was anymore because I had put absolutely everything into this graduate scheme and being ‘the graduate’. Only now am I starting to get a real handle on what I want to do with my life. But everything absolutely does happen for a reason and sometimes we all need a reminder that ITS OK to not know what you’re doing and put a bit of trust in faith. We all get there in our own time
I graduate in 3 weeks and just finished my placement with no real job prospects. I pretty much feel hopeless. This video taught me that that's normal, and motivated me to push forward
I graduate in July and I moved home this bank holiday. I've been trying to find a part time summer job before I start my first 'real' job if you will, in around a month and a half. Its only been 4 days and I feel lost. HOWEVER, i've decided to give myself this month and a half off to enjoy time at home, meet up with people i've not seen for years, have a social life again (whatever one of those are?!). Sort out that room where at the end of every year of uni you dump more and more 'stuff' into it. And i'm ok about it... Loved your video as always xx
I finish a masters college in August after I do a dissertation... I have tried to stay at college for as long as I could, I am petrified.. I plan on staying at my part time pub job for a few months at least!!! your tips & experience helped me feel more confident 😀 thank you 😘
This video has made me feel a little bit better. Ive been so fustrated and feeling so useless even though I only finished this month. Everything seems so bleck when the world seems like its against you even when you are trying your hardest.
I’ve just completed my degree and I’m so glad I came across this video! I thought I was going barmy, you literally mentioned everything I was feeling! But I’m glad I won’t be the only one that feels this way!
I needed this so much 👏👏 this is literally me rn, graduating next month with a 2.1, no job prospects, moving back home with my parents and all my housemates moving hours away :( Such great advice!! What an actual babe! And you're size 14 videos I'm SO HERE FOR
Thank you for literally summing up every emotion i'm enduring right now! Watching this was THE most calming thing to know that i'm not alone. I feel like i'm floating around hoping to find some path at the moment, and you just made me feel a little less crazy.. YOU BABE!
YES. This video is EVERYTHING. I’m due to graduate in July and needed to stumble across this video haha! When you said people assume you have to achieve certain things by certain ages - NO! It’s true that we’re all on our journey are are where we should be right now. We never do know what will happen next; you really opened my eyes to how important it is to just stay focused on myself and work my way towards what I want etc etc. Thanks for the advice! X
Hi Lucy! I'm a recent subscriber of yours and I'm so happy I've found your channel - you are so lovely and real and funny! I graduated a year ago and still feel a little lost but this video has really helped contextualized my feelings. You're the best ♡
love this Lucy! you have the BEST outlook on life which everyone should follow! so many expectations and "norms" that have been implied in society and if we stray away from these we are "failures". In reality, why would you want a life/ career path that is so perfect and hasnt had any bumps along the road.
As someone who has just finished 3rd year and is graduating in September I NEEDED THIS. I feel like most people I know have their post-grad life sorted and I'm still floating...not knowing what I want to do
Very wise words Lucy. My 2 girls moved back home and they had jobs both nurses they stayed at home until they married lol. My son went down the apprentice route he became a refrigerator and air conditioning engineer. Then he moved out at get it 30 lol. The girls have kept up with their friends even though some are in Scotland. So it all works out in the end.
LOVE this Lucy! i'm almost thirty now (ooof!) and can only back the things you say here. so much wise advice in there, not just for life immediately after uni but for life at ANY point * goes and placards point six onto wall * it's totally normal to feel utterly lost post uni -- and hey, maybe for a long time after that (me). there's no set path that we're all meant to take so just go at your own pace. like you say, any transition, any major change can be really turbulent and trigger things like depression and anxiety, so if you're feeling lost and helpless, be kind to yourself and patient and trust that things will change for the better if you keep putting in the work. there's no rush in 'figuring stuff out' -- that's part of what makes life so interesting! i'm sure this will help tons of people lucy :) x
I don't remember the last time I watched a youtube video and felt so simply understood. Just graduated this spring and this vid was spot on, thank you, Lucy ❤️
OH. my god you have no idea how much this hit home for me. I graduated from uni last year and honestly, it's been such an emotional roller coaster for me. I think a lot about my future and worry a lot about it. I studied graphic design and focused on illustration and feel like I'm never gonna find a job that I truly love. And I know it will most likely happen, but right now I see it so far away. And it's so true the thing about getting rejected PLENTY of times from job opportunities but yeah, guess you just gotta keep trying, right?
Thoroughly enjoying your channel! I'm about to graduate with my B.A and debating my path, since I want to stay in Academies but feel a bit worn out. At the same time I'm moving abroad for at least a few years and gonna live with my boyfriend, so I can't call that being stagnant either!
I only found your channel the other week and OH MY GOD your videos are the thing that I didn't know were missing from my life until I found them xx You are so amazingly chatty and lovely and you give the most amazing advice, thank you so so much xxxxxx
Thank you so much for this video, Lucy! I’ve just handed everything in and i feel bittersweet about accomplishing it but I’m freaking out about what I’m doing next! I feel so relieved that it’s normal and i am guilty of comparing myself! I trust that it is all gonna work out for me and this video really reminded me that I’m capable and whatever career path is meant for me will work out as long as i put the effort in!
I had to move back home and was unemployed for five months before I got my first job post uni, I've now got another job and been able to move back to Liverpool where I studied and have my own flat 😊 my advice is don't expect it to all fall into place it takes time and dedication and a few knock backs! Xxx
honestly this video came at the most PERFECT time for me. I‘m about to finish my postgrad in a couple of months and I am freaking OUT. I feel like I don‘t have anything to present to future employers, I don‘t have real work experience in my field at all and I‘m putting off sending out CVs right now bc all of it just makes me feel so anxious and lost... this video helped me a little bit so thanks for that💕
Some great ideas in here. I’d second the idea of taking part time jobs, I worked at M&S two christmases after graduation and really enjoyed it, and now I have customer service and problem solving experience that is valuable. Also don’t forget that your uni careers advisors are usually still available to you after graduation so don’t underestimate that.
I found your channel and this video at the perfect moment! I feel so much better about everything now, thank you ❤️ Also loving your size 14 fashion videos! It’s awesome to see someone my size showing how great summer clothes can look.
Really needed to hear this right now and completely agreed with everything you said. It’s funny because I first found your channel when looking for tips about going to uni. Safe to say these last three years have flown by! 👩🏼🎓
I graduated uni 5 years ago too and wow, such truth! I live in Canada but this applies everywhere. Getting rejected from part time retail jobs because i'm over schooled and don't have enough specific experiences is terrible but darn! It's going to happen!
Aw Lucy you're so sweet and have genuinely made me feel better about the dark post-uni hole that I feel myself getting deeper and deeper into every day hahaha!! Congrats on all the new subs, keep doing what ur doing!!! (love the shirt btw) x
Great video with some brilliant tips! I am a few more years down the line now but when I graduated, one of the jobs I applied for sent me the same rejection email 4 times.... so brutal! Looking back I’m sure it was just a glitch in their system but at the time it was like they were saying we really, really, really, really don’t want you to work here! 4 months later I got my dream job at the place I really wanted to work 😀 Stay strong recent graduates, it will work out in the end x
Hi Lucy, I'm fairly new to your channel but I've just been binging your videos over the last week or so. You are such a ray of sunshine around here, nice to see someone to relatable and inspiring. :)
This has came at the perfect time! I finished university last week and I'm currently working part time back home but I'm struggling so bad with knowing what to do now and where I want to take my career 😓
Literally my life right now! I graduated my masters in December, had one short term contract since then... its hard but got to keep pushing! Great Vid! xx
I’m absolutely in this boat! Just graduated a few weeks ago and am feeling a bit lost, especially in regards to what exactly I want to do. Seems like there are so many options but I don’t know what I’m suited for. Added bonus: I’m moving to the UK hopefully at the end of this summer, but just waiting for my papers to come through, which could happen in a few months but has the potential to take much much longer. So I’m in a bit of a limbo, living at home working for a catering place. I’m unable to really search for a job or an apartment until I know when I’ll be arriving, and am also dealing with a very fulfilling and yet difficult long distance relationship. (My boyfriend is in the UK where I’m moving!) This video definitely gave me some inspiration and a reminder that I’m not alone in these lost feelings. This summer/year may be hard and it may be lonely, but I’m focusing on the fact that I have a lot to look forward to. 💖
Allie Conzola I'm kind of in the same boat....I graduated collage last year and was so lucky to get a job in my field right after and it's been wonderful and I know it's what I want to do...but now it's kind of like what do I do next? Maybe it's cause for our whole lives we've been forced to think about the "next thing" ? Like in primary school it's "what are you going to do in high school?", then "what college/uni are you going to?", then "what are you going to do after school?".....now we're at the end of the path and no one is asking us anymore...kinda a weird feeling haha. If anyone has figured this out please let me know! 😅
Loved watching this, I chose not to go to uni but I found this helpful! Such a kick up the bum & a reminder that we are all working on ourselves! And it’s all okay! Keep doing you Luce ❤️
I’m class of 2013 too! I wish I had a video like this after I graduated. The first year after college I worked at a coffee shop and worked internships while going on what felt like a billion job interviews. It was so difficult, but about a year after I graduated I got a full-time entry level job in my field. I thought I’d never leave the coffee shop, but I did!
Could not relate more to a video! So much truth in your words! So great to get some advice/insight on some of the same issues that recent graduates deal with. And thanks so much for all the great content. I'm a fairly new subscriber, but have already found loads of relatable and interesting stuff. Keep up the good work! :)
I can so relate to this as I also graduated in 2013. I managed to get an amazing job within a year of graduating but it was seasonal, so after a 8 months working I was back to square one! However I am now 10 months into my dream job for life, it took a few years but it was worth the wait! Good luck to all other graduates! I feel your pain 🤓
I'm glad you have done this video as no one talks about uni much and what happens after realistically but I've nearly just finished my 2nd year in photography and currently part time while at uni which I know it's likely I will be doing till I find something in the line of work I want to be in but love you and your vids 😊😘
So relatable! Thanks for making this video! I graduated from uni a few months ago and I am still super lost...Everytime I think about my future I get anxious and that is a very uncomfortable feeling. I hope everything will be alright, but at times it's SO difficult! .xx
This is so comforting. I just finished my degree in May and I've also just gotten my first rejection from a job at a nearby high school that I thought I really wanted. I'm going to be a teacher and I student taught at a middle school that feeds into the high school I got rejected by. I originally thought that this high school was where I wanted to be, all the kids from my student teaching would be going there and I loved those kids, why wouldn't I want to teach there? After I got the "thanks but no thanks" call I realized that I really want to teach in a middle school. Yeah my kids were great, but I'm only 22 and I don't want to possibly be in a classroom of 18 year olds and telling them what to do. However, I haven't yet got any calls from other schools yet so I'm nervous. The next school year starts mid August so I know I have time to find a job between now and then but it also seems like a super short amount of time. A lot of this video really helped me feel more at ease with everything and my timeline. My boyfriend (who I met my freshman year at my university) also pursued education and he finished in December and got a job the first week of January with the first school he interviewed at and I feel like I should have a job by now but maybe that's just what was meant to happen with him and what I'm meant to do is still in progress I suppose. Anyways, I'm rambling now I think. I'm definitely going to try and listen to your advice and just remember that everything is going to work out the way it is supposed to and there's no rush. Also- I'm not going to dump my uni-boyfriend because he's actually a good one, not trash! 😉
Lucy Wood thank you 😊 I am just carrying on with my part time job, and looking forward to new opportunities!I've felt so rushed into deciding what to do, thanks for reminding me that it's completely ok not to have it all figured out 💕x
I finished university last May and actually fell into depression, I'm still recovering. I never expected to feel so lonely and lost after uni and I felt ashamed of that and hid myself away which only fed my low mood. We should all be talking more about preparing for life after university, not just discussing how to get a good job. It's actually quite scary how quickly everything around you changes in the space of a few months, and some people just aren't built to go with the flow without any hiccups. We need to normalise life hiccups. Such an important video!
Rose suicide is never the answer. Just go at your own pace and work hard. All the best!!!!!!!
"during school and university, you're always told that you can achieve the most and be amazing and that you've got endless potential and you can do whatever you want, and then you leave university and all of a sudden nobody wants you and no one is interested in what you've got to offer" wow girl, I am whole ass crying!!! As a recent MA graduate who is getting rejection after rejection after rejection, I cannot tell you how much I needed this video. just, tysm xxx
I've literally just been offered a full-time design job after working part-time in a supermarket for 8 months after graduating! All my friends seemed to land their dream jobs straight away and I had to move home. But my time has come!!! I very much like the 'everyone has their own path' and 'be patient' mantras, I must have applied for 20 jobs a week, rejection after rejection before I got this one. Keep on keeping on! Things will happen for you!
I’m 25, I graduated from university in 2015 & I’m still stuck in this exact situation... living with my parents, being treated like a little kid, working in a members only club & still no luck with the endless job applications. So yeh it does get really hard especially when both of your younger sisters have finished uni, fell into the ‘perfect’ careers & moved out with their partners. Most days I feel pretty crappy about how things are going, I just hope something better is around the corner.
Elizabeth Cross it sucks 🙃🙃 what did you graduate in?? Hopefully it gets better!!
Keep going!! We all have our pace, you will get there stop worrying!
I am on the verge of tears! Honestly, I cannot express how much I needed to watch this video. Thank you 💜
Bloody Hell when did all these subs arrive?!?!? Been subscribed for years and I'm so so so happy you're getting the recognition you deserve! I'm no expert but I guess the recent videos on body confidence and Size 14 Fashion have something to do with it as they have been my fav videos you've made too! Would love to see some hauls from brands like Zaful, Wish, Shein ect as they are all over my feed at the moment but all the girls doing them are size 8/10 so would be good to see some from a more relatable perspective. Lotsa love and congrats on the subs!!!!xxx
Haha mate tell me about it, it’s crazy! Thanks so much for sticking with me. That’s actually a great idea! I will definitely do something like that xx
Ooh that's a good idea. Love wish nails 😊
That was definitely meant to be hauls
Now that I have a "big girl" job in a field I like, I can look back and 100% say that ALL OF THIS is *so true.* I wish someone had been around to validate my anxieties, but also support me through the long, treacherous period of job seeking with wisdom like this. Thank you so much for putting all this into words Lucy!
Ahhh big girl job haha! Still yet to get myself one of those... thanks so much for being lovely x
After having graduated uni for a year, still living at home and in my first full-time job that's not relevant to my degree, this is so refreshing! We all put so much pressure on ourselves, but we forget that life is about experiencing things, and not everything will be good and perfect, but that's okay ☺️
I really needed to hear someone say this, I graduated uni last year- and I was a course hopper so I’m halfway through being 24.. I chose media of course. I’m working full time in retail applying all the time to jobs but from 80% I’m not even getting a rejection email. My boyfriends a high flyer he’s really supportive but he’s a bit younger than me and he’s the one that’s got a great job after uni - so I can’t help but feel I’m behind. I think my mum lost hope she’s one of those bragging parents and since there’s nothing to boast about she’s uninterested. Actually this morning she said to me “you’ll still be living your student life even when your 30”. I chose a degree in a really hard industry to get in to and right now I don’t know what I want to do.
Hey Jordan , I did media at Uni too and struggling to find a job and still in retail. how's your situation now? :)
What a cracking video!
Such helpful and accurate advice. I felt exactly the same after Uni. Went into retail to earn money, followed that path to management for a couple of years. Then changed my mind, taught myself how to code and did a career 180! I am now working as a web developer, having done a completely unrelated science degree. You cannot plan everything even if you want to (and i do love a plan)!
Moving out of home is the next step though - I totally relate to the not moving forward thing! Definitely don't resent living at home, as you said it is a huge privilege to have parents that welcome you back so you can figure things out - make the most of it, but contribute what you can too (whether it is money or helping around the house).
Lucy :) x
Such a good comment! Thanks so much 😊
It's so important to know that everyone has their own pace in life
I'm graduating next month and this video has addressed all the things I've been terrified of when the time comes to move back home and start job-hunting without knowing what I want to do with me life... Thank you for this video! x
Graduated in 2014 and still in limbo! But I'm learning to embrace it now, and where others are at in life, I don't want anyway! Great video. x
I'm 24 and I graduating a few years ago too - I LOVE this, I think "black hole" is the best way to describe it haha, I always try to share my experience too to make people feel less alone in this, so thank you for sharing yours! Very comforting to know we aren't alone! Much love, A! :)
Oh my gosh, me a year ago needed to hear this! I suffered from depression after finishing uni and realised that the industry I thought I loved wasn't for me anymore. Honestly, I needed this and I think a lot of people will appreciate hearing this.
Instantly made me feel so much better about my last 8 months after graduating! I feel this is something every parent/family member needs to watch please and understand why the question "so what are you doing right now?" is the worst thing to ask - especially when so many graduates have mental health issues preventing them from "doing" anything
I just graduated with my PhD. Literally the most stressful thing ever lol, I have nightmares about my student loans (6 figures of debt is terrifying). But your advice is so good and definitely what I've been trying to remind myself of. I keep telling myself if I can finish a PhD, I can handle whatever comes next. I had been job searching for months prior to graduating and finally the week of graduation I got an offer for a full time teaching position at my uni. Best news ever. And I'm starting to freelance as a writer/editor to supplement (because student loans). So nice to see someone talking about this, the stakes are a little different for me (37 with a PhD is a little different than 22 with a Bachelors) but graduating is scary in general. Oh, and I second moving back home if necessary. I did it after my BA and after my first Masters. You do what you need to do. :)
I'm a bit late on finding this video but I just HAD to comment and say thank you for making it. Thank you so much. Every single thing you said struck a chord with me. It was exactly what I needed to hear
Thank You for this video. It also gives sense in quarantine time, as I left uni to go back home, my mom is throwing some replics about "wouldn't you like to get a job?" and it is off outting because, I am still studying to finish 3rd year. I feel that pressure even now. I really think the future will be very simmilar. And You inspire me to think about my life and prepare for actual finish of my studies of IR which is super sophisticated field to have a career in.
This is so important for people to see.. I graduated last year and I am in that wormhole of depression and desperation but this gave me so much hope.
I am so grateful I found this video. I am 5 years older than you but I have so much to learn from you. I was the annoying asshole who left college with a job offer and got married soon after. We even bought our own flat. Fast forward 8 years and now I am living in my parents house after my second baby while hubby tries to sort out his new job at a new location. My first child has a disability and I had to stay home to look after him and his therapy. Life can not only change in a split second because of the next wrong decision, sometimes it changes just without any reason. So yeah...there is no point comparing with anyone about anything
This video spoke to my SOUL! I feel sooo lost since finishing uni and feel really useless for not getting a job in the sector I want to be in. But this video was extremely helpful. Been bingeing your videos all night!!
Thanks so much for this Lucy! I graduated last year and the past year has been a big struggle mentally for me. But things are looking up now and this advice is exactly what I needed myself a year ago, it does get better and positivity is key 😊xx
Ahh I’m sorry to hear that pal, but so great that things are improving! You’ve got this xx
my last day of uni was three days ago and ive moved back home. feel like i want a few weeks before i get a job because my uni course was so draining and exhausting but i feel like im so lost and i cant just relax and i should be doing something or going somewhere. feels awful not having anything planned and knowing that every decision i make now as an adult is gonna impact my entire life
This video really resonated with my Lucy! I graduated a year ago and I've probably had the most miserable year of my life. I moved back in with my parents, I work a job I hate and feel like I'm going no where. To top it all off I went to university in a different country so all my friends live in that country (and all my old friends from school took gap years/study 4 year degrees so they're still at universities dotted all across the UK, most likely not to come home as I live in Northern Ireland and job prospects aren't great). I did a degree in illustration and my goal is to illustrate children's books one day so the only thing that keeps me going is working on my portfolio and working towards my goal in my free time. It's so reassuring to know that most people feel this way, and it won't be like this forever!
Neeeded this. Graduated a year ago and have been in this bubble of depression since as I’m yet to find a graduate job, living st home and have minimal friends in my town as everyone spread out post uni.
Thanks for the advice. it’s nice to feel Less alone
Thank you, thank you again Lucy! I'm two years out of school, and though I'm really thankful to have a stable job somewhat in my field, it's still hard not to be disappointed that I'm not doing something more "impressive" at this stage in my life. My therapist is helping remind me that the hobbies and projects I'm pursuing outside of my day job might turn into something a lot more exciting down the road, and I have to try and be patient and work toward them and not get caught up in my day to day. You're so right, I'm providing for myself and living with my other half, so I'm at least doing that much right.
This was exactly the video I needed right now. I graduated less than a month ago and was one of those annoying people with a job offer ready to go lol but I still found myself needing to hear all of this. I jumped right into a career and find myself seeing the grass as greener on the other side - part of me wishes I had a larger break between college and working for the rest of my life. I also have moved home and left all of my friends. You've helped me look at all of this a little bit differently and realize that we all have our own paths. Thank you for this.
You got this spot on Lucy! I’ve experienced everything you mentioned, and four years on, I’m still working towards my goals and I’m happy with where I’m at. It seems like you are too! Motivation can’t be lost and dreams shouldn’t be set aside for small jobs that pay the way at first and end up taking over, a new graduate with big aspirations should just keep them in sight. Don’t let goals get lost in the midst of trying to pay back debt or moving out too quickly. It will happen in the end.
Just graduated yesterday and was looking for jobs two months prior, had no luck and decided to look for part-time jobs and if things get dry I would move to my parents' house (we already discussed this even though it feels awkward from my part).
I've listened to people and watched videos, such as this one, and I find them all useful and comforting. I was only afraid that I would disappoint my family, however, I always did things right and shouldn't really feel too sad or bad. I have good freinds and people who understand me and that helps me to keep my usual bubbly character~
Thank you for the video and cheering for me/us!
I needed this video!!! Finished uni a year ago and moved home then moved away to work and now thinking about moving home to try and work on the area I studied. It is videos like this that are making that sub count rise. you deserve it x
I am full on in the phase of post-uni-desperately-trying-to-get-a-job-because-I-want-my-own-income-ugh and each time I get depressed or anxious about the process (which is often!) I come here for new energy and reassurance. Thanks to everyone in the comment section too :)
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I moved back home yesterday after uni, I was so excited to move back home but now I’m here, I just feel like i have no purpose! I’ve been in my room contemplating my life and thinking what I’m going to do next haha
I have my LAST EVER exam tomorrow and watching this now was was a great idea. Thank you for this!! I feel so much more confident and less stresses about "life after uni"
Your videos are always so helpful and amazing! I'm not graduating (I haven't even started uni...) but what you said really helped a lot. I wasn't able to go to uni in the beginning of the year like everyone else and I had to start working (in really crappy jobs) and I just felt like I was in a wrong path and doing something wrong because I wasn't here I was supposed to be... but what you said in this video really helped me a lot... So thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been graduated two years now and it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. I still don’t have a job in my career, and I’ve felt completely lost. And I always feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m not where I should be. It’s just nice knowing I’m not alone.
Yessss you're fantastic, thank you for this. There is no point in wondering if you're "where you're supposed to be", just gotta live your life.
Class of 2013 over here! I feel ya girl I still feel like I'm 18, still have no idea where I'm going career wise, spend most of my spare money on wine and plane tickets and constantly feel like I'm behind "for my age". Love this video, some great advice!
This video has come at such a perfect time! I've honestly never been so confused in my life after finishing Uni.. this has given me a lot of comfort during this time. Thank you ❤️
I’m a singer and actress graduating from conservatory in a couple of weeks, just had an intake at a coffee bar. Just the idea that a company is happy to take me in after lots of no’s makes me feel so good! I’m looking forward to not having so much pressure coming from other students that are going to audition after audition. I want to focus on what I want and working in a coffee bar seems like a great way to start the process! Good luck to everyone that’s graduating, we’ll be fine!
Once piece of advice I would add is, do NOT define yourself by your job title. I graduated 3 years ago now, joined a graduate scheme with a large UK company 3 months after graduating, moved cities, thought I had it all worked out. I was made redundant after 18 months, and only then did those feelings of being completely lost and confused come out. I didn’t know who I was anymore because I had put absolutely everything into this graduate scheme and being ‘the graduate’. Only now am I starting to get a real handle on what I want to do with my life. But everything absolutely does happen for a reason and sometimes we all need a reminder that ITS OK to not know what you’re doing and put a bit of trust in faith. We all get there in our own time
I graduate in 3 weeks and just finished my placement with no real job prospects. I pretty much feel hopeless. This video taught me that that's normal, and motivated me to push forward
I graduate in July and I moved home this bank holiday. I've been trying to find a part time summer job before I start my first 'real' job if you will, in around a month and a half. Its only been 4 days and I feel lost. HOWEVER, i've decided to give myself this month and a half off to enjoy time at home, meet up with people i've not seen for years, have a social life again (whatever one of those are?!). Sort out that room where at the end of every year of uni you dump more and more 'stuff' into it. And i'm ok about it... Loved your video as always xx
I finish a masters college in August after I do a dissertation... I have tried to stay at college for as long as I could, I am petrified.. I plan on staying at my part time pub job for a few months at least!!! your tips & experience helped me feel more confident 😀 thank you 😘
gosh it's been a year since i graduated and it's like you've reached inside my brain and you know exactly how i feel! love love love this x
This video has made me feel a little bit better. Ive been so fustrated and feeling so useless even though I only finished this month. Everything seems so bleck when the world seems like its against you even when you are trying your hardest.
I’ve just completed my degree and I’m so glad I came across this video! I thought I was going barmy, you literally mentioned everything I was feeling! But I’m glad I won’t be the only one that feels this way!
What a brilliant video. I graduated last year and this video really speaks to me. It should be prescribed viewing for graduates
I’ve just finished my degree and oh my god I needed this video so much ❤️ your videos are incredible xx
Awh great! Congrats for finishing your degree, I hope this helped a bit 😊😊😊
I needed this so much 👏👏 this is literally me rn, graduating next month with a 2.1, no job prospects, moving back home with my parents and all my housemates moving hours away :( Such great advice!! What an actual babe! And you're size 14 videos I'm SO HERE FOR
Thank you for literally summing up every emotion i'm enduring right now! Watching this was THE most calming thing to know that i'm not alone. I feel like i'm floating around hoping to find some path at the moment, and you just made me feel a little less crazy.. YOU BABE!
YES. This video is EVERYTHING. I’m due to graduate in July and needed to stumble across this video haha!
When you said people assume you have to achieve certain things by certain ages - NO! It’s true that we’re all on our journey are are where we should be right now. We never do know what will happen next; you really opened my eyes to how important it is to just stay focused on myself and work my way towards what I want etc etc. Thanks for the advice! X
W O W accurate. I graduated in June and have been feeling low ever since...needed this to bring me up.
Hi Lucy! I'm a recent subscriber of yours and I'm so happy I've found your channel - you are so lovely and real and funny! I graduated a year ago and still feel a little lost but this video has really helped contextualized my feelings. You're the best ♡
I recently stumbled along your channel a few weeks ago and am in love with your content. Such a great video idea!
Awh that's ace, so glad you're enjoying it! xx
love this Lucy! you have the BEST outlook on life which everyone should follow! so many expectations and "norms" that have been implied in society and if we stray away from these we are "failures". In reality, why would you want a life/ career path that is so perfect and hasnt had any bumps along the road.
As someone who has just finished 3rd year and is graduating in September I NEEDED THIS. I feel like most people I know have their post-grad life sorted and I'm still floating...not knowing what I want to do
I love this so much - I'm class of 2013 too and totally relate to everything you said!
Very wise words Lucy. My 2 girls moved back home and they had jobs both nurses they stayed at home until they married lol. My son went down the apprentice route he became a refrigerator and air conditioning engineer. Then he moved out at get it 30 lol. The girls have kept up with their friends even though some are in Scotland. So it all works out in the end.
Yep, it always does! Everything always works out x
LOVE this Lucy! i'm almost thirty now (ooof!) and can only back the things you say here. so much wise advice in there, not just for life immediately after uni but for life at ANY point * goes and placards point six onto wall *
it's totally normal to feel utterly lost post uni -- and hey, maybe for a long time after that (me). there's no set path that we're all meant to take so just go at your own pace. like you say, any transition, any major change can be really turbulent and trigger things like depression and anxiety, so if you're feeling lost and helpless, be kind to yourself and patient and trust that things will change for the better if you keep putting in the work. there's no rush in 'figuring stuff out' -- that's part of what makes life so interesting!
i'm sure this will help tons of people lucy :) x
I don't remember the last time I watched a youtube video and felt so simply understood. Just graduated this spring and this vid was spot on, thank you, Lucy ❤️
OH. my god you have no idea how much this hit home for me. I graduated from uni last year and honestly, it's been such an emotional roller coaster for me. I think a lot about my future and worry a lot about it. I studied graphic design and focused on illustration and feel like I'm never gonna find a job that I truly love. And I know it will most likely happen, but right now I see it so far away. And it's so true the thing about getting rejected PLENTY of times from job opportunities but yeah, guess you just gotta keep trying, right?
Thoroughly enjoying your channel! I'm about to graduate with my B.A and debating my path, since I want to stay in Academies but feel a bit worn out. At the same time I'm moving abroad for at least a few years and gonna live with my boyfriend, so I can't call that being stagnant either!
I only found your channel the other week and OH MY GOD your videos are the thing that I didn't know were missing from my life until I found them xx You are so amazingly chatty and lovely and you give the most amazing advice, thank you so so much xxxxxx
Thank you so much for this video, Lucy! I’ve just handed everything in and i feel bittersweet about accomplishing it but I’m freaking out about what I’m doing next! I feel so relieved that it’s normal and i am guilty of comparing myself! I trust that it is all gonna work out for me and this video really reminded me that I’m capable and whatever career path is meant for me will work out as long as i put the effort in!
I had to move back home and was unemployed for five months before I got my first job post uni, I've now got another job and been able to move back to Liverpool where I studied and have my own flat 😊 my advice is don't expect it to all fall into place it takes time and dedication and a few knock backs! Xxx
honestly this video came at the most PERFECT time for me. I‘m about to finish my postgrad in a couple of months and I am freaking OUT. I feel like I don‘t have anything to present to future employers, I don‘t have real work experience in my field at all and I‘m putting off sending out CVs right now bc all of it just makes me feel so anxious and lost... this video helped me a little bit so thanks for that💕
Some great ideas in here. I’d second the idea of taking part time jobs, I worked at M&S two christmases after graduation and really enjoyed it, and now I have customer service and problem solving experience that is valuable. Also don’t forget that your uni careers advisors are usually still available to you after graduation so don’t underestimate that.
I found your channel and this video at the perfect moment! I feel so much better about everything now, thank you ❤️ Also loving your size 14 fashion videos! It’s awesome to see someone my size showing how great summer clothes can look.
Really needed to hear this right now and completely agreed with everything you said. It’s funny because I first found your channel when looking for tips about going to uni. Safe to say these last three years have flown by! 👩🏼🎓
I graduated uni 5 years ago too and wow, such truth! I live in Canada but this applies everywhere. Getting rejected from part time retail jobs because i'm over schooled and don't have enough specific experiences is terrible but darn! It's going to happen!
Aw Lucy you're so sweet and have genuinely made me feel better about the dark post-uni hole that I feel myself getting deeper and deeper into every day hahaha!! Congrats on all the new subs, keep doing what ur doing!!! (love the shirt btw) x
Haha good stuff! I hope you enjoyed it :) thanks so much x
Great video with some brilliant tips! I am a few more years down the line now but when I graduated, one of the jobs I applied for sent me the same rejection email 4 times.... so brutal! Looking back I’m sure it was just a glitch in their system but at the time it was like they were saying we really, really, really, really don’t want you to work here! 4 months later I got my dream job at the place I really wanted to work 😀 Stay strong recent graduates, it will work out in the end x
Hi Lucy, I'm fairly new to your channel but I've just been binging your videos over the last week or so. You are such a ray of sunshine around here, nice to see someone to relatable and inspiring. :)
Yay thanks so much for coming over! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊😊😊
This has came at the perfect time! I finished university last week and I'm currently working part time back home but I'm struggling so bad with knowing what to do now and where I want to take my career 😓
Literally my life right now! I graduated my masters in December, had one short term contract since then... its hard but got to keep pushing! Great Vid! xx
I’m absolutely in this boat! Just graduated a few weeks ago and am feeling a bit lost, especially in regards to what exactly I want to do. Seems like there are so many options but I don’t know what I’m suited for. Added bonus: I’m moving to the UK hopefully at the end of this summer, but just waiting for my papers to come through, which could happen in a few months but has the potential to take much much longer. So I’m in a bit of a limbo, living at home working for a catering place. I’m unable to really search for a job or an apartment until I know when I’ll be arriving, and am also dealing with a very fulfilling and yet difficult long distance relationship. (My boyfriend is in the UK where I’m moving!) This video definitely gave me some inspiration and a reminder that I’m not alone in these lost feelings. This summer/year may be hard and it may be lonely, but I’m focusing on the fact that I have a lot to look forward to. 💖
I really needed this now
Allie Conzola I'm kind of in the same boat....I graduated collage last year and was so lucky to get a job in my field right after and it's been wonderful and I know it's what I want to do...but now it's kind of like what do I do next?
Maybe it's cause for our whole lives we've been forced to think about the "next thing" ? Like in primary school it's "what are you going to do in high school?", then "what college/uni are you going to?", then "what are you going to do after school?".....now we're at the end of the path and no one is asking us anymore...kinda a weird feeling haha.
If anyone has figured this out please let me know! 😅
I relate to this SO MUCH right now haha! Graduated uni in London in July, moved back home mid August and still unemployed!
You’ve nailed it Lucy. I’ve been feeling lost after finishing my MA, and this video was super validating! Xx
I had my last exam a week ago and I'm scared shitless.... Feel better after watching this though!
Congrats! You’ll be absolutely fine xx
This video was one of the best I’ve ever watched! You are an amazing human Lucy!!! Everyone should have a friend like u in their life ❤️❤️
Was worrying a lot about this, since I graduate next year and have no idea on what to do then... Thanks Lucy!! Great advice!
ha im 54 so no uni for me but my son is about to go next year . good advice xx
Loved watching this, I chose not to go to uni but I found this helpful! Such a kick up the bum & a reminder that we are all working on ourselves! And it’s all okay! Keep doing you Luce ❤️
I’m class of 2013 too! I wish I had a video like this after I graduated. The first year after college I worked at a coffee shop and worked internships while going on what felt like a billion job interviews. It was so difficult, but about a year after I graduated I got a full-time entry level job in my field. I thought I’d never leave the coffee shop, but I did!
Great video! I very much needed this video today, and its nice to know that feeling lost is totally normal
Could not relate more to a video! So much truth in your words! So great to get some advice/insight on some of the same issues that recent graduates deal with. And thanks so much for all the great content. I'm a fairly new subscriber, but have already found loads of relatable and interesting stuff. Keep up the good work! :)
I can so relate to this as I also graduated in 2013.
I managed to get an amazing job within a year of graduating but it was seasonal, so after a 8 months working I was back to square one!
However I am now 10 months into my dream job for life, it took a few years but it was worth the wait!
Good luck to all other graduates!
I feel your pain 🤓
Thank you for making this video! I've just graduated from uni... and feeling quite lost... so thank you for the reassurance!!
I'm glad you have done this video as no one talks about uni much and what happens after realistically but I've nearly just finished my 2nd year in photography and currently part time while at uni which I know it's likely I will be doing till I find something in the line of work I want to be in but love you and your vids 😊😘
Ahh cool, I hope it's going well for you! Good luck with your photography :)
Lucy Wood thanks 😊
I love this video so much, I finished uni a few weeks ago, and this is exactly what I'm feeling! Thanks for creating this!!
So relatable! Thanks for making this video! I graduated from uni a few months ago and I am still super lost...Everytime I think about my future I get anxious and that is a very uncomfortable feeling. I hope everything will be alright, but at times it's SO difficult! .xx
I guarantee everything WILL be alright. It takes a while to figure it out, but have some faith in yourself pal 💗
Thanks SO MUCH! I definitely will! Your video was super helpful! It's nice to know I am not alone in this ❤️
Ahh I just graduated college so this video was honestly perfect timing. Thanks for posting! 💜
Ahhh huge congrats! I hope this is a bit helpful xx
I have recently found your vids and binged them and today i was wondering when you are gonna upload next. Finally. :)
Awh that's so nice! Thank you haha :) I was on holiday for a few days x
Lucy Wood wow lovely ;) hope you had a great time
Ps i love youtubers who reply
This is so comforting. I just finished my degree in May and I've also just gotten my first rejection from a job at a nearby high school that I thought I really wanted. I'm going to be a teacher and I student taught at a middle school that feeds into the high school I got rejected by. I originally thought that this high school was where I wanted to be, all the kids from my student teaching would be going there and I loved those kids, why wouldn't I want to teach there? After I got the "thanks but no thanks" call I realized that I really want to teach in a middle school. Yeah my kids were great, but I'm only 22 and I don't want to possibly be in a classroom of 18 year olds and telling them what to do. However, I haven't yet got any calls from other schools yet so I'm nervous. The next school year starts mid August so I know I have time to find a job between now and then but it also seems like a super short amount of time. A lot of this video really helped me feel more at ease with everything and my timeline. My boyfriend (who I met my freshman year at my university) also pursued education and he finished in December and got a job the first week of January with the first school he interviewed at and I feel like I should have a job by now but maybe that's just what was meant to happen with him and what I'm meant to do is still in progress I suppose. Anyways, I'm rambling now I think. I'm definitely going to try and listen to your advice and just remember that everything is going to work out the way it is supposed to and there's no rush.
Also- I'm not going to dump my uni-boyfriend because he's actually a good one, not trash! 😉
love your makeup style in this video so much :3
"A little thumbs up " classic Lucy phrase ☺️
Omg I never realised this hahahaha
Lucy Wood I love it it’s so quirky and cute ☺️😊👍
I agreed with literally everything you said except for "everything happens for a reason"
I finished uni three weeks ago and have felt so lost! Thank you so much for this video. It's made me feel so much better 💕xx
Awh man, congrats for finishing but I totally know where you’re coming from. Hope things get a little better soon :) xx
Lucy Wood thank you 😊 I am just carrying on with my part time job, and looking forward to new opportunities!I've felt so rushed into deciding what to do, thanks for reminding me that it's completely ok not to have it all figured out 💕x
