The Graduate Plan

Hopefully come next April, I'll be submitting my last ever essays and will be done with 17 long years of education. Do I have any idea what I want to do next? Of course not. I went to university to study English in the hope that while I was there I would discover my reason for being in a career, but that's just not happened. I'm holding onto hope for my last 6 months but just in case here's my back up plan...

1. save money like your life depends on it, aka find a job that also doesn't mean working ridiculous hours.
2. travel. Mainly to family in Australia, and looking at getting a working visa to just spend quality time with my aunt. 
3. find graduate jobs, aka graduate programmes within big firms that might lead to a job that I'm interested in long term.
4. remember that moving home does not make you a failure. The landlords might be hard to adjust to after independent life, but at least the rent isn't thousands.
5. keep on blogging. It's possibly the only thing keeping you sane.
6. if it isn't right for you, don't do it. Unless there's some magical end product you're aiming for, you only have one life. Might as well make it a happy one.

I hope this was useful for you if you're a future graduate who's struggling too!
