Gracie Goes...into the real world.

It’s official- I’ve graduated. I am not a student, I am a graduate.

One of those people in the funny hats that have a degree- that’s ME!
Look!

I spent three years studying English Literature at the University of Leicester and left with not just a certificate, but lifelong friends and about a hundred new books.

So what now? Well, I accepted a place on Graduate Scheme, that’s the main bit I guess.

Call me crazy but I actually LOVED the whole graduate recruitment thing. I got a little obsessed with it to tell you the truth. I spent hours researching all the different graduates schemes and jobs and really enjoyed writing answers to questions, the buzz of interviews, giving presentations, assessment centres and the best part…getting offers!

It’s something I’m strangely passionate about so don’t be surprised when some lengthy graduate recruitment posts appear!

Since graduating and beginning my new job, I’ve been wanting to shake my life up a bit.

It’s nearly my birthday and I’ve got a feeling that 22 is going to be my year.

I have big plans and even bigger ambitions.

Let’s see if any of them materialise!

Gracie Goes is Changing...

I’ve decided to shake up my blog a bit.

I feel like a new chapter has started and I don’t want to miss a single minute of it.

I also feel older, it’s weird. I’ve only just turned 22 but after meeting like-minded people and working in an office of colleagues much older than me I feel like working life is doing me good.

I’m more ambitious. Lots of my friends might argue this isn’t possible, but I really am. I want to see and do and be involved in EVERYTHING.

I’m also more confident, maybe not confident but just sure of myself. More comfortable. And happy- see below photo for proof.

So I think I've decided I want to write more personal things. I’m going to write about life as a 22 year old finishing Uni and attempting to take on the world.
