University, minus the rose-tinted glasses.

I've finished the second year of my degree - that's somewhat scary that I'm 2/3's of the way through my course. And that this year actually means something! That combined with the fact my blog is coming up to a year old means that I've had a fairly hectic year. Wonderful but hectic.

I've achieved so much, yet so little in such a space of time and it's crazy to think not only how I have grown but how my little corner of the internet has developed alongside me...

When I first started this blog, I promised myself that it would be truthful and that this blog wouldn't be me talking about university while walking through life with rose-tinted glasses, because realistically life just isn't always perfect.

And things definitely haven't been perfect. There have been times when I've wondered whether university was right for me, whether I had it in me to keep up with the rest of the class when I felt so far behind, and what I'd do if I did leave. I've wondered whether it was my course, or flat or work that has made me feel like it and drawn a blank every time I've tried to find any answers.

Thankfully these feelings have passed, and I in no way want to leave. I may have struggled this year but I do not want my journey to end. I am determined to finish this degree and continue to grow. I have so much more to achieve and experience.

This year in the end may have been ok, but next year is going to be so much better!
