Amelia Talks

Oh and welcome back to my blog, it's been a while I know, but I didn't know what to post until this hit me. I'm a 20 year old girl, I am no longer a student, I am almost 21 and have no clear idea for my future. Remember at School when your teacher tells you that you need to have an idea of your future job and people come up with ideas that they want to be a "Teacher" or a "Lawyer" or a "Footballer" or an "Actress" or a "Technician" or even a "Chef." But the thing is at a young age as even 20, how can you be so sure of what you want to do or be in the future or where you want to be in the future when everything is changing? How do you make up your mind of where you want to be in ten years from now? Why do people expect you to make up your mind when you're only young? How do people expect you to make up you mind of what you want to do when the world is continuously change?

What I think is that when anyone tells you or asks you what you want to do in the future, you take that quote from Twilight: Eclipse, as cheesy as it might sound, " Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be. We won't have to guess. We'll know." As much as it sounds cheesy, it's right, we're young and there is never a definite answer of what you wish to do.

From the top picture, you can see three things, one of them includes University of Sussex, no I am not currently at University but I have plans to go next year. This will link back to making mistakes and everything changes, if you asked me a year ago like my college teacher if I wanted to go to university, you would have got the answer of No, I just want to go into full time work. Then Summer came around and everything changed, including my thoughts about going to Uni, I realized I wanted something new and then going around the University I have wanted to go to since I was 16 before I decided I didn't want to go Uni, I fell in love with the university and everything around it, then I realized I wanted to go to Uni for real and experience the independent life.

Another part of the picture is two retail stores, if you didn't know before I have been working at Shoe Zone, I have been working there for two years now and I absolutely love it, even though it's tough and annoying and not the best pay, working there has made me feel part of a family and close friends. Recently the managers daughter has started and I am super glad to work with her because she's definitely fun to work with. But to be honest I couldn't imagine myself not working there. Then there's Bags ETC, I recently started working there and as much as it's different to shoe zone and I am still working there, it's still something I am enjoying.

All I am trying to say is don't let people tell you that you need to define your future because of all this , it's your future not anyone elses and you need to remember that. It took me a long time to realize that I needed to stop making other people proud and to try and make myself proud, so now I have more confidence in myself and now I am feeling more free and excited for my future.

So thats the end of my story and although it's tough, I hope everyone can learn to make their future their own.

So this is a little different to my usual blog posts but i am finally getting back into writing and I feel as if I just need to write about what I feel so we'll see what's next up. I kind of feel like I'm writing like Carrie Bradshaw.

So that is the end of my post, I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to leave a comment.

Well Hello there lovely people of the internet, I have noticed it's been a long while since my last blog post and there's one big reason as to why I haven't, I have been very busy over the last few months with college work and work and trying to chose what I am going to do in the future once I finish college in a couple of months time. I am aiming to get a blog post up when I have the time too.

So now after that little ramble and update and apology, I have decided to give a little lifestyle post, and as you can see by the title it's called Study Tips. Considering I have been in four years of college education, five years of secondary school education and I won't count primary because to be honest I didn't really learn much about studying in primary school, I think I have a good range of tips that have helped me and might help you.

Tip Number 1 - Keep some kind of drink near you.

A drink I find really helps give me energy and motivation to carry on with my work during the day, I highly suggest water, one of the biggest reasons for this is water surprisingly gives you more energy then you'd expect, I have drunk four bottles of water in a matter of a day whilst doing course work. Another drink I suggest slightly because I think I have an addiction to it, is coffee, just because I do love to drink it and it does wake me up.

Tip Number 2 - Write notes

I find writing down all my notes, of what I have to do and when the work is in and notes about that piece of work really helps me get on with the work as I can just get on with the work and look at the notes that I already have. It is a really good way of helping your brain work and get motivated.

Tip Number 3 and Final Tip - Music

My final tip would be set up a playlist of all songs that you like to listen to that will help you get on with work, and even if you are at home in your room, I will always advise putting the headphones in because they really help me focus compared to just playing the music out loud. Any headphones will work, I do tend to use my FRENDS headphones, I love them so much and they are so worth the buy even though they are expensive. I used to use my skull candy headphones that I still have and I love too.

So that is the end of my post, I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Feel free to leave a comment.
