Here comes the inevitable 'oh-my-god-I-finish-uni-in-a-matter-of-weeks-and-I-don't-want-to-accept-the-reality'.  It's not like I don't want to do with my life, that's actually sorted. My plan is to get onto the Publishing MA Course long distance, and work around that for funding and just money to live on. After that editorial assistant in Laaaandaan!

 But...over summer and the next two years, I'm going to be at home. This is something I never thought I’d struggle with. But spending three years away at university and then interning in London...it's a bit different coming home. There's the fact I need to learn to drive and afford a car so I can transport myself, continue going to the gym and then socialising. My house is a bit off the beaten track so mobility is challenging.

 However, I am thinking of a three month job in Aber. Broken down, 12 weeks at 36.7 hours of work will probably fly by. It's just a matter of accommodation, and whether I can commit. It would allow me to be in a place I love and I wouldn't be completely on my own. I'd miss  my friends, my  family, but then I'd make the effort to see them when I could (holiday, weekends etc). It would let me have a break from retail.  

 I'm going to miss  Aber A LOT. Not only the course, more importantly the people and the communal living with my best friends. I'll miss them but thankfully, they are in commuting distance. Still, every post-student knows what I'm, what many third years are going through. Living at home will be fine- I'll be surrounded by friends and family, live rent free...but it's not  going to be the same.
