Starting Again

Do you ever find yourself in a situation that you didn't expect and now all of sudden you're back to square one?

That's definitely something that happened to me when something unexpected happened in my life and now my future is very uncertain at the moment. I now have to start figuring things out about what I want to do with my life and I find myself back to square one where I have to start again. It's a weird process when life just throws you a curveball when you least expect it. It's almost like the five stages of grief. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance. It's a rollercoaster of emotion but here we are. It's not ideal but sometimes life throws us these cards and we just have to deal with the hand given to us. 

It's why I decided to get my CV in order as I haven't touched it for a year. This resulted in me pulling out a CV booklet that I got from university years ago just to have a refresher to structure my CV. That's a good starting point if you're looking to make a career change is making sure your CV is all up to date with all your skills, job history and education just to make you seem more employable. That's what I started with and it was frustrating at times trying to figure out what to say but eventually I got a CV ready. One tip is to have a master CV that you can use for all jobs but then have a copy to be able to edit to suit the job application you're applying for. Sometimes focusing on points that's in the job advert can really help you out in the long run. 

Remember to do your research and don't always apply for the first job you see. It's always good to have options as you never really know when your dream job can creep up on you. I use Indeed for my job hunting and before applying I tend to save the jobs first just so it gives me an idea on my options. 

Either way I'm taking this moment to start again and try something new, see my new options and who knows this may be the best decision of my life even if it came so unexpectedly.

If you feel like things aren't going your way, why not consider starting again or doing something different than what you normally do. It doesn't have to be a big dramatic thing like a career change. It could be something simple like rearranging your home or trying out a new hobby. Life is short and sometimes it's good to try something different.

Let me know if you've decided to try something new in your life in the comments below. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post for you.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
