Graduation - Class of 2016




















Yesterday I graduated in Fashion Journalism from the University Of creative Arts. That achievement is now with me for life I am a graduate. The three years were eventful, challenging, inspiring and life changing and I will cherish the memories and keep the thing that I was taught with me for life. Getting to celebrate it with my fellow graduands, my family, and my boyfriend was overwhelming and an amazing experience.

As each course is announced they say the achievements that have already been achieved by pupils on each course which honestly left me feeling a bit down as I pondered what is I have achieved? Why wasn't my name mentioned? But I have achieved so much even if it has not placed me in a career quite yet. I made a whole magazine by myself, I learnt confidence which I lacked before starting Uni and I have changed so much in the past few years for the better and hopefully that will help me in later life.

But now I need a career. I have a job, I am a sales assistant but that isn't a career. But how do I choose a career when I have no idea what I want to do. On December 8th I go to Australia for a Month and either before then or while I'm there I need to decide on the career in which I will pursue for probably the rest of my life. Zandra Rodes who is the Chancellor at my University said if you don't know what you want to do now that is okay, even if next year you do not know your degree doesn't disappear I am now a graduate and who knows what my next Chapter is. This is not the end, this is the beginning.
