I have well and truly neglected my blog for the past couple of months, hell, the last year but now that my time at uni is over with I'm hoping to get the reviews flowing again. Firstly though, I have some exciting news to share with you all!
Two months ago I handed my dissertation in (for those interested it was on whether science news is misrepresented in British tabloid newspapers), which was the single most difficult task of my life so far. Not knowing if I was writing it up correctly, worrying about not making it to 10,000 words, then going over the word count and having to cut out irrelevant rambling; these are just a few of the problems anyone who has written/going to write a dissertation will encounter.
The amount of work and effort I put in and not knowing whether it was complete rubbish or not until results were released earlier this week was extremely painful, as with all the other assignments I was yet to learn the outcomes for.
But without further ado, I am completely delighted to announce that I will be graduating on the 17 July with a FIRST CLASS HONOURS DEGREE IN JOURNALISM! Words really cannot express how amazing it felt to find out that I did exactly what I needed to do to get the First, which was to get a First in every one of my modules during this last year.
Although I am looking for jobs/internships in Journalism, I am also thinking about joining the Metropolitan Police and have an assessment day on the Tuesday before my graduation, so as you can imagine I'm still a little nervous.
In terms of the whole university experience I wouldn't change any of it. It enabled me to learn the basics of life, including how to deal with the stresses of bills and landlords. I also met my partner of nearly three years there, and have achieved more than I could have ever imagined.
Anyway, that's enough from me for one post. Keep an eye out for the next review on 22 Jump Street!
