The secret life of a 25 year old student - Introduction

 

Hi, Hello, Hey and Hiya. I'm Kathryn, a 25 year old from Barnsley in South Yorkshire that upto this year I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life (peep me on your left hand side with a nineteen euro cocktail trying to be an Instagram model in Milan.) I'm a 25 year old that has no mortgage, no children, no husband (but i am madly in love - cringe lol) and still love doing things that I shouldn't be doing - not trying to incriminate myself fully yet. I still love things my 15 year old sister loves, like Olivia Rodrigo (mainstream but fuck that girls songs are catchy.) My aim in this blog is to be transparent about my life, which people who know me and are on my close friends on Instagram know I already am unapologetically honest about my little life - shoutout to you all. I've debated doing something like this for a while but always managed to talk myself out of it because I'm not the best writer and honestly sometimes I actually do give a shit what people think as much as I like to tell myself I don't. But you know what my past experiences have taught me that life is so short - I could get ran over by a bus tomorrow (thanks mum for always stating this fact.) So here I am, if you like a nosy into somebody's life then I think my blog could be for you and hopefully if you're anything like me this might make you feel not so alone about being 25 and not having you shit sorted. (Don't have a clue why I got emotional when i read that back.)

I honestly have no clue how to blog - but the best thing to do is throw yourself in the deep end right? I want to start by telling you all at the grand old age of 25 I have gone back to university to study a masters. Not going to specify as of yet because your girl can't share everything on blog one. I am currently writing this from the laundry room and if you have ever been to university and lived in halls you'll know about the shitty and overpriced Circuit laundry - robbing bastards. So, yes one of my friends are married with a child (beautiful family) and I'm here at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon in Manchester paying £3.70 for a bloody wash and living with a bunch of 18 year old freshers - and you know what that's alright. A couple of months ago if you told me this I would've panicked and thought shit why am I not at that stage, the truth is you're aloud to mature and go through life at your own pace. Apparently google states that the average age is 72 - well lets say that's true I still have 47 years to go (probably not because I have a crippling vape addiction.) In hindsight 47 years is a bloody long time, so why now do I have to have my life sorted out? You don't and I'm so proud of myself for finally realizing this. As a society were taught through the media, films etc that 25 is the age you're supposed to be settled down in a kushty little gaff with a full time job and money behind you. As I said before It's your life, live it how you like. Don't get me wrong there's things I'd love to have more control over (we'll get to that later,) but fuck society for pressuring me into thinking I need to have it figured out. 

Anyway, I've thoroughly enjoyed my first little rant and hopefully there's many more to come. I hope in the future to give u the juice; and by the juice I mean my life with full honesty. Might get deep and dark sometimes, but honestly talking about your shit is free therapy and I'd encourage people to open more, my DM's are always open. I'd also love feedback and suggestions what people would like me write about and see from me. 

Cya soon, 

Kathryn x
