Sometimes it makes me nervous, sometimes I feel like I’m not enough. Sometimes I wish you said more about how you feel. Then you kiss me, hold me, look me in the eyes, and all my insecurities fade away.
University is a great idea, and a part of me wishes I went.
However, knowing myself, I just know I’m better and more motivated in a workplace setting, and if I’d gone to uni, I probably would’ve dropped out because I just can’t self-motivate myself to study.
Obviously, everyone is different and I know probably the majority of people benefit from Uni and the qualifications it brings alongside with it.
One thing I’ve been finding more common though, is uni snobbery, and I don’t mean from university students.
Last night at a family BBQ, a family friend asked me what I was doing at uni, as she has two young girls about 17 years old, whom she is clearly hoping go to uni.
When I said I wasn’t at university, and that I was in fact working, she looked at me like I’d punched her in the face.
She said “Oh right……. where are you working then AJ?”
When I told her, and don’t get me wrong, my company is very reputable, I have good career prospects, and I’m in no way ashamed of where I work, she still looked somewhat disturbed by the fact I hadn’t been to uni, and had no plans to do so.
University is a good option, for people who will benefit from it, I will not, and it’s unfair to think that young people are a complete failure unless they complete a degree.
It’s important to play to your strengths, and to exercise those strengths as much as possible, which is what I’m trying to do.
I’m also hopeful of becoming a mortgage consultant, which would put me on a very good salary, but that’s beside the point, I go to work, full time, and I’m ambitious, so I don’t need middle aged women looking down their nose at me, cheers!
I really shouldn’t find his features attractive, but I just do.

Aquarians born on January 29 are not content to watch the parade go by — they are spurred on by a powerful sense of mission. They may appear somewhat prickly, but they are actually gentle and philosophical in nature despite their strong political beliefs. They will put their reputation on the line…

This is how happy I want to be on holiday next week.
I won’t, however, be this thin though.

Oh my GOD this song is so old!
buttonOr just, anybody. Basically, I wish I could just sing, full stop.
This evening I sat in my room pretending to revise and ended up eating a whole box of cookies. I felt so bad about it that I did an hour’s work out to Britney Spears. Not recommended when your room...
