Last Ever Lecture... Say What?!

03.05.2013

Hiya Peeps!

How on earth was yesterday my last lecture of Uni, EVER?! It literally feels like I arrived in Cardiff yesterday and now it's almost time to leave. It's true what they say that time flies when you're having fun.
The past three years has been a multitude of different emotions, dramas, friendships and late nights and I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I've probably spent 50% of my Uni career laughing, 30% crying and 20% losing my mind with stress about work and deadlines and the sheer panic that hits when you realise a deadline is 9am, not 4pm.

University has taught me a lot about myself, especially in the last few months. In my third year I've worked in a completely different way and I've realised a lot about the career path I want to take. I've loved my degree and it's taught me skills in so many different fields, and I've found that music and social media are where my talent and passion lays. When I came to Uni, I wanted to be Fearne Cotton and spend my mornings in a radio studio in my pyjamas. But now, I feel like I'll succeed better tweeting or vlogging or managing talent or floor managing or being a PA or working in PR. (What that last little sentence has taught me is that I kind of have no idea what I want to do with my life, oops!).

I've met some people that've changed my life, and that I hope will stick by me forever. And there are still new people coming into my life, even now we're so close to the end. Before I came to Uni, my Mom told me, 'University is where you'll meet your life long friends, remember that', and it'll stick with me forever. I more than likely laughed at her when she told me first time around, but she wasn't wrong. There are people here that I can't wait to meet up with in 5 years and still be able to act like a complete fool with and reminisce about the good old days!
I want to thank everyone who's been a part of my University life, and I feel like this is just and easier way to do (and a way that means I won't be crying on literally every person I've mentioned in this post). Whether anyone ever sees this or not doesn't matter. It's for me so I never forget what I learned or achieved during my time here and will always remember the people and the times that made me smile. 

So thank you, The University of Glamorgan (or as it's now known, The University of South Wales), it's been a pleasure, and I'll be honoured if I get to graduate as part of the final Class of Uni Glam. Honestly, thank you to every single person I've met on this journey, you've made me a better, stronger, quieter, happier, more confident, kinder, more proactive, funnier and more positive human being, and for that I'm ever grateful.

THE UNIVERSITY OF GLAMORGAN - CLASS OF 2013 <3.

Take care, stay beautiful and dream big!
All the love in the world,
