Why now?

Okay, okay, so I know I said I was going to start this after my birthday, but once I have an idea I like to get things going.

It's mid-March. Maybe not the 'ideal' time to be starting something new - it's not the start of a new year, new month, new phase of my life or even a Monday! But that's something I'm trying to teach myself, that I don't have to wait for the 'normal' time to do things I want to do, or go places I want to go.

For example, I've recently graduated university and do not have a plan for my life. And that is not a problem. Taking the next steps after uni scares me a lot, especially since I don't know what I want to do for a job... unless someone wants to employ me to travel the world (please?).

I didn't spend time looking for jobs or grad schemes while I was at uni, even though that's what you're supposed to do. Let's be real though, who has time for that between exams?! I spent my time there enjoying being with my friends, writing essays, running a society and working part time jobs. I didn't want to stress myself out any more than necessary (or think about the fact that uni was ending!).

To justify this, I started telling people that I was taking a "year off", a "post-uni gap year"(!). I needed something to convince myself that if was okay not to go straight into full time employment.

I got an internship (one month, which turned into seven!) which ends next week, and planned a trip to see my family and explore in Singapore and Australia - I leave in a few weeks and can't wait!!!

Post that, I have no plans, but that's okay. Life doesn't have to be planned out. I don't have to get a great job straight after uni, or stay in England, or own my own house, or do anything else I don't want to do.
