Personal.

Ok so I have been a little outnof touch this month for many reasons including work and personal life.

The reason that this post is called personal as I thought I should give you guys some insight as to why I haven't been blogging (yes I know it seems to happen more often than not and I can only apologise about my lack of interesting life).

This month has seen a family loss. Of course it is not the first I have suffered through, yet the first ones were when I was at an age that I never really understood. That is until December 2011. A major loss happened within my family and it has never been right since. The "layout" of my family was changed forever. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with some of the things that have happened over the last couple of years.

So last month another member of the family was lost (it sounds as though we just misplaced them when that phrase is used, but what else is there without sounding extremely morose?). Now it wasn't someone I was very close to, however, I did spend a lot of time with them throughout my childhood. So I was of course saddened by the loss, it was the first funeral I had attended since 2011 and it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I suppose it is never easy to attend funerals without thinking about those previously lost to us.

I'm sorry that this is such a morose post this evening. I did feel the need to explain my absence, and of course you needed to kmow the truth, maybe not the full truth (family dramas are unnecessary).

I hope to start posting more again soon (even if it is just boring stuff)

Job Searching...

I promised to post more about my life in general...so this is the beginning.

Job searching is a massive part of my life right now as I search for a career for myself, it is still a lot harder than I ever thought it would be even though I have a degree. I suppose I haven't helped myself by choosing hard career paths within publishing, marketing, advertising and PR.

I know this seems like such a rubbish post today however, it is what is happening in my life.

If anyone has any handy tips on how to begin a career in any of my chosen fields I would love to hear about it!

Love x

Little Ramble

Hi again! I apologise for the quiet bout! But last month I finally moved in to my new "home" with my parents. You may wonder why I have put "home"...well I do not plan on staying for long as I am itching to move out again in to a new home with my partner Ryan! (I am not enjoying the long distance thing at all).

It has taken me all month to sort my room out the exact way I want it in between work and sorting out gifts for Ryan's birthday and Valentine's day! I am excited to visit York next week and I will probably have a little post about the beautiful city and the things we got up to there :)

I have also decided in the past month to take a more positive outlook on life, on my instagram I have decided to take part of the #100happydays :) I am going to take something positive from each day and prove that life isn't always miserable as I have allowed it to get me down for the past 6 months or so...

I am also making positive choices in my life, I have begun my driving lessons again and I have given myself a target of when I would like to pass by so that my life I can start properly, as once I have done this I can look for a place with Ryan (this way we won't have to worry about how far out from town we are considering neither of us drive at the moment).

I apologise for my little ramble today, however, I suppose it gives you a little glimpse in to my life at the moment after being so quiet. Although I have been quiet on here I have been reading some pretty inspirational blogs recently! Here they are if you fancy a quick read...my friend Anneka sheds some light on the graduate blues! And one of my favourite bloggers Wonderful You has been sharing such inspirational life stories recently!

Graduate Life

I'm going to do the generic graduate blog now. During A Levels we were constantly told that having a degree would further our careers etc. Now that I have graduated with a pretty decent degree I have applied for so many jobs, most them I have not heard back from, yet out of them all I had 2 interviews. Both rejections and no reasons why. I have also had email rejections. Why were we not told before leaving university just how horrible these rejections were going to be! Constant knockbacks to our confidence, what is it that makes our generation so unemployable?

I'm sure there are many of you out there that are going through the exact same things. I wish there was a handy guide to help graduates find jobs or even internships. Every reply is about not having enough experience, however, how are we meant to gain experience if no one is willing to give us a chance?

Sorry for the rant type blog today! Graduate life is harder than I thought it would be!

Hope everyone else is having better luck! Xx
