The Best Jobs

Hello!

I officially have a job! Hallelujah! I was definitely in desperate need of one; the small remainder of my student finance (all £30 of it) was quickly dwindling away!

Just like nearly every person in the world, there were a lot of different vocations - if that's what you can call them - that I wanted to take up when I was younger! So, here are five of them:

1.
A writer!
The first thing I wanted to do was the thing I still want to do now, so I guess I never really changed my mind. The only difference is, I no longer think every story has to start with "Once upon a time"... Not going to lie though, still holding out for this one!

2.
An astronaut...
What can I say, I liked to dream big... Just for the record though, I still think I could be an awesome astronaut! So if all else fails, you'll find me on the moon!

3.
A Disney princess <3
I'm sure every little girl had this dream! I used to have all of the different outfits of each princess and I'd dress up and pretend to be them. I still have the same problem now as I had then though - I can't walk in heels to save my life. Not the best start to a Disney princess life *sad face*.

4.
The classic hairdresser.
Not going to lie, I really did like that dream, until I realised that not every hairdresser got to do the hair of princesses. Needless to say, that revelation shattered my dream.

5.
A sandwich filler...
Don't ask me where this one came from because I have no idea. I just... I can't even... I was a weird child. (I do make one mean sandwich though - maybe this is my true-calling!)


If this has made me realise anything, it's that my dreams just got smaller and smaller as I got older. I went from wanting to be an astronaut to a sandwich filler - I don't even know what to say. I'm lost for words. Bye.

A Mid Week Pick-Me-Up #5

Hello!

Since going to university my confidence has massively grown and my best friend likes to constantly remind me how proud of me she is (she's a cutie). I think this quote in particular is something I need to recognise and act on more to keep my confidence levels edging up!


"A simple "hello" could lead to a million things" - Unknown


I've always, as in my entire life, been that shy girl that doesn't talk to anyone and just muddles through, doing as I'm told and being ignored... Not going to lie, I liked that method a lot through high school! Now I'm at uni though, I need to be more confident and talkative and actually say hello to people because otherwise I'm going to be one lonely person.

The thing is, all I need to say is one little world, "hello", and I could meet some amazing people but, as I'm sure you know, I seriously over-think everything, so I sit and think I should say "hello" but what if they don't want to talk to me or they're perfectly fine without me butting in etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. They probably don't care if I say hello or not, they probably haven't even given it a thought but we could all find some amazing people in this world if we just say that one simple little greeting to people, no matter where you come from in the world, there is one word in any language that could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

So today's ending is going to be the same as the beginning.

Hello!
