This is what I thought 2017 would be like right now:
This is how I thought I would be feeling in 2017:
But this is actually how I’m feeling:
People are constantly asking what I want to do with my life, and instead of saying “I have no idea”, which usually causes an awkward silence because the conversation has effectively been killed (this had happened too many times), I honestly just make it up and lie.
It sucks because I am surrounded by people who know what they want to do, and have already written out their 10 year career plan, whilst also factoring in their marriage and when they’ll have kids. They literally have a pinterest board for wedding dresses!!! And I struggle to choose what I want to have for lunch every day.
With the impending doom of uni choices coming, it’s really stressing out me out that I seem to be incapable of choosing what to do. Medicine? Spanish? Housewife? Maybe I’ll take a gap year and volunteer in Nicaragua. I’m joking about the housewife one. Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a housewife/househusband, but I think I’d like to be the breadwinner in my family, not too mention that spending too much time in the house would makes me go crazy.
But as of right now, I am trying to find positives. If I don’t, I may literally drown in all my negative thoughts. If you are going through the same thing, or just a completely different stressful crisis, let it all out. Not by crying. I’ve found that once I starts crying, I usually can’t stop. It’s helpful just to talk it through, or write it down.
If you’re in the same position as me, don’t forget to comment down below- I’d love to hear about your issues with unis and all of that stuff- we can stress together (and support each other)!
Stay fresh,

When I finished school, I never really knew what I wanted to do. Seriously, I don’t know. Somehow, I ended up with a uni close to my house. I studied English just because it doesn’t have math. I only know what I want to do, few years after graduating. Just some thoughts from me. Have a nice day! 😀

I can feel what you are going through! Don’t worry you will eventually figure out what you want to do in life! Don’t let other people stress you out 😊 I don’t really know what I’m doing with my life right now either 😂

Hello!
I’m sending this message around all my blogging friends and that includes you.
This morning I published a post called That Time When I Stood Up For What I Believe In, (I know, long title!). Anyway, it was about a personal experience that taught me something and changed the way I live my life. I decided to ask my readers and followers to share an experience with me. I’m going to publish all the responses I get in an ‘anthology’ on my blog.
I thought you might like to add something? As much as I’d LOVE you to contribute, no pressure and I TOTALLY understand if you haven’t got the time or whatever. I really appreciate the support you’ve given me with my blogging in the past and hope you are able to send me a story to add.
Thank you so much,
Gracie

Just thought I’d ask: How do you plan on getting your story to me? You can comment it on my blog, comment it here or post it on your own blog. Whatever!

Uni is stressful especially if you are in England it just depends on if you are going to put your effort in and do a degree that will open doors

Me too, but seems like life is that confusing for all, not just you and I 😉 So, it’s not so much a sad thing as a part of life – if we’re alive, we can handle it 😀
