Thoughts For The Future
Jobs are a funny thing. We need them to keep us from being poverty stricken, to save for things we want, and they take up a huge percentage of our time. I believe having a job that fulfils you and gives you purpose is important. After all, if you are going to work in the same place day in and day out for most of your life, you might as well enjoy it. As it stands, I do not enjoy my current job,...

The Best Laid Plans
Just when I had pretty much figured out what direction my life was going in, a spanner has been thrown into the works. I found out this week that the University where I desperately wanted to do my Masters, and had been been saving up for, has doubled its tuition fees. A few months ago they stated that their fees were fixed until 2013, but this is clearly no longer the case. I cannot afford the...

What A Difference A Day Makes...
I have a job!  No, it’s not a graduate job. No, it’s not what I want to do long-term, but it is a job. Since graduating in July last year, I have been (mostly) unemployed. I have had some temporary jobs here and there, but nothing consistent, and it got me pretty down. I dislike all this self-indulgent moaning. I know I have probably sounded majorly grumpy on here lately (although to...

Mad Men Season One Review
I have recently been catching up with several HBO series, since I currently have far too much time on my hands and have a great love for that particular network. I was therefore happy to indulge in watching Mad Men, as the idea of 1960s glamour and the particular social issues around that period appeal to me. So far, I have not been disappointed. The show is based around a fictional advertising...

My Happiness Resolutions for 2012
A few of my friends have started Gretchen Rubin’s “Happiness Project.” Some of it involves making lists, or personal commandments. I am taking on monthly resolutions for the time being, by focussing on aspects of my life I would like to improve. I have come up with twelve goals, which equates to a goal for each month, and are all catered towards improving my personal wellbeing: Find a new job....

Out With The Old...
The year is rapidly drawing to a close, therefore, I thought I would summarise my thoughts on the past year and the one to come. This year has been tough for several reasons, some of which have been disclosed, others not. I do not want to end the year on a negative, so I will reiterate the things that have been good this year:  I gained a 2:1 BA Hons in Journalism and Media Studies  I had a...
