#Summer, summer, summer time! Gunna sit back and unwind…# And chain myself to my uni house so no one can make me leave and stop being a student…
Yep it’s that horrible time of year for third years when reality comes knocking. It’s really tough to feel like you’re saying “goodbye” to one life, and starting one which might not seem as exciting.
But to show you there are lots of people who feel the same as you, here are the 10 thoughts and feelings basically everyone has when they’re leaving university… (All told by former students!)
1. Trying to figure out what to do with life now uni’s over like…
2. Knowing your last EVER chunk of student finance just hit your account…
3. When you realise every job asks for ‘experience’, but you’ve just graduated, so how are you supposed to get ‘experience’?
4. When you realise you have to set an alarm again and possibly even wear a tie…
5. When you realise the student discount is gone…
But then remember, you still have your young person’s rail card…
But they’re not all negative…
6. I’ve finished education FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!
7. I can go travelling for as long as I want…
8. Time to put my degree to use and make sure all my hard work was really worth it…
But it’s still quite scary…
9. Me at uni: I’ll never wear a suit – I’ll never stop being a free spirit.
*Me on my first day*
10. How will I survive without the summer holiday? So, tell me more about PGCEs…
