Bonsoir party people, welcome back to another Blog of mine. I needed a little study break for my brain; So let me give you a little update on my silly little life. I'm still thriving as a student (I say this I am still very much old, which was the main topic of conversation with me and Olivia seen on the left on Friday.) I've been really getting into my course and thoroughly enjoying learning about psychology - who knew the way people think could be so interesting. However, I am finding it a little be intimidating not doing an undergrad in it (I basically jazz hands my way through my degree, also not true but kind of true.) But again I'm trying to remain positive and keep a positive mindset as I think positive attracts positive. So my lil hack to life is playing "Shake it Off" by Florence and the machine at full blast to get me back on track, (turned up at 100% makes me feel like I can run a marathon in five minutes.) I thoroughly recommend putting on a feel good song whenever you're feeling a little ugh because music really does boost your serotonin. On the flip side to my point, my brain is full of new knowledge/words that I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of. And this also is making me feel like I'm getting the hang of being a psychology student.
As well as being a masters student I also have a very wholesome little life. I'm making time to see family and friends which is very much needed. I feel like your fam and pals are the people that ground you and basically solidifies that life is actually ok and no matter what the stresses are in your life I bet they're going through something too. This is also dead nice to realize you're not alone but also to chat about it and air everything out to get a different perspective. We were talking about self-care in one of my seminars and what it means to different people. This is cringe but I do believe seeing friends and family is one of mine because I'm lucky to be surrounded by such openminded and supportive people. People whom also I can share wholesome moments with - shoutout Liv. Liv came to see me in Manchester on Friday (we don't see each other very much due to her being a jetsetter,) and we had the best time dancing with a homeless man and a random woman on a bench in the middle of Manchester. A core memory that will always cheer me up when I'm sad. Cheers Liv.
Not only have I found this with friends at home, I've met a lovely bunch of people at university. They're supportive, eager to learn and committed to the course like me; which is so lovely to have found such like minded people. And people that I can take traits from, which I love meeting people like that. Shoutout to my new pals, you're cool as fuck.
Listen, my financial situ still isn't the best, but I've bagged a job!!!!! And it's a pretty fun job at that. I managed to get a job at both the theatre's in Manchester and I'm so bloody excited to start. With doing my masters I wanted a fun job that would also be flexible and let me tell you this job fits that description. I did go back to my retail job for one day and think wow I cannot do this, so did one shift then left. Honestly in hindsight well done me. I can't describe to you how much relief I felt when getting my new job so that I could hand in my notice in the job I completed one shift at lol. But also I need to put my mental health first this year and I have never done anything like that before, I would literally just stick something out to please other people. But no she's moved to Manneh and got a fresh perspective on life, you don't have to do something if it doesn't make you happy - life will work itself out. Don't know who I think I am giving this philosophical advice, but in my old age I have become wise (In my head anyway.)
Feel like I packed a lot of info in this blog, so If you got this far thankyou for reading about my lil life. You're a real one.
Lots of Love,
Kathryn x
