The one where: I love my job!

Is it better to do something you love, or learn to love whatever job you do? 

At the mere age of 19, I'm proud to say I've found a job I truly love. It's like I almost wake up every morning and think "Wow! I can't believe I've found one I love so much at such a young age!" I still remember coming in for the interview and instantly feeling like I was at home in the office. Nearly one whole year on and I feel at home even more and I still can't believe how lucky I am to say I work here - my dream job.

Ever since I took English Language in school and started to learn about how different people spoke and why they spoke in that way, I became suddenly interested in the media background of things. Taking up hobbies like writing stories and handing them in to my English teacher for her to mark, or even updating this blog! Writing has and always will be a big passion of mine and probably one of the main reasons I love my job so much. I'm constantly wanting to write the next social media post or type up a new blog post - it's such an interesting job and I love it more and more each day.

One key reason many people like their job is also because of the people they work with. If you love them, it makes your job that tiny bit better. One of my best pals in work is probably Richard (although I love them all) - he brightens up my already bright days and makes me feel at home even more. He's the older brother I always wished for growing up and although he moans at me...A LOT, I know he only means well and is preparing me for future life. I don't think anyone actually realises how happy I am that I didn't go to University! To think I spent many months umm'ing and arr'ing over whether to go to University or not, it's so silly now! I've never been more happy in my life than I am right now. My life is good - I have good people around me and I'm ready to take on the world :-) 

To anyone out there that is wondering whether or not they should take up an apprenticeship in the field they love or go to uni and work hard for 3+ years to maybe not get a job in the end of it, 100% do the apprenticeship! My life has changed drastically since I started this in July and I couldn't be happier. Live for you and follow your dreams. 

Until next time, 

The one where: Things started to look up

A more positive life

Without speaking too soon, hoping this doesn't jinx anything for me but, things are actually starting to look up for me.

Finally I've finished all my exams and left college. Although I was so excited to be leaving college and the whole education thing behind, I was, surprisingly, kind of sad when I left. I know it's something I have to do in order to go up in the world but, I never imagined to be leaving it behind and being sad about it. I think its more of the routine thing I will be missing. I'll miss having the schedule of something set that I know I can easily fall back on. College was such a big decision for me. It, unquestionably, has changed my life. I walked in there with so many friends thinking I knew how my life was going to turn out. I thought the friends I had previously made, were there to stay and I thought we'd be going through everything together. I walked out of College on Tuesday 10th June a total different person with a total different perception on life. I completely and utterly couldn't have been any more wrong two years ago with how I thought my life was going to pan out.

Anyway, enough of all this boring, soppy stuff - onto the things that matter in life. Happiness. Today I had an interview for an apprenticeship I have only ever dreamed of. It wasn't a surprise when I woke up this morning extremely nervous with an uncontrollable sick feeling in my stomach. It wasn't until I actually walked through the doors of where my interview was, that I realised everything was going to be okay. This was possibly one of the biggest chances I would ever get in something I have always loved. Media has and always will be a huge part to my life. Whether I'm reading a magazine or updating this blog - it's something I love to always be in touching distance of. The two women I met today were extremely nice - never wanted to stay in an interview so much in my life. The best thing about it though is everything that they were saying, I was totally and utterly agreeing with. I've never felt so at home in an unknown place before. I spoke about how I write this personal blog and how I love to write stories. How Social Media is also a big part to my life and what I think Facebook is turning into. Everything they said was so important to me and made me so inspired. It was honestly a dream come true to sit down with two incredibly talented and well educated woman and discuss the things I've never had the chance to speak about before. It was such an incredible atmosphere and everyone there was so lovely and welcoming too, it just made me want to stay longer.

Finally I'm getting to where I want to be in life and I couldn't be happier. I knew everything would be worth it in the end!

Inspirational quote of the day/week: Stick at something that you know will be good for you in the long run. Also, don't always listen to everyone else's opinion on something - have your own perception on everything in life.
