One question that I get asked way to often is what I plan on doing after uni. And in all honesty I don't really know. I know that some people have a set plan on how they are going to do things once they graduate. But I have never really been one of those people.

But I think that it's okay not to know what you are going to do after uni or after school.

It's a big thing to ask of a person. Almost like once we finish high school or university, we have to decide on the spot.

So once again I don't know what my future holds.

And that is hella scary.

But I know that I will figure it out along the way. Which doesn't really sound like a solid plan, but it's what I personally am comfortable with. Which is strange considering I hate change. And the unknown. But I know that I will be able to do whatever it is with a certain level of nervous excitement.

Does that scare the crap out of me? Of course it does. It always will.

But I know that I will find my rightful path, whatever it may end up being. 

And I know that once I am there I will be happy and content.

Just know that not everyone knows what they want to do with their life. Most of us are just fumbling through, trying to make a life that we feel is good, for ourselves. 

Never loose that fear of the unknown, especially when it come to the future, because it is what will drive you to achieve what you want.

May inspiration board.

Welcome to the small list of things that are making me happy and inspired in the month of May

1. Study and hard work. I have a ton of uni work to do, and working hard towards finishing my final year of uni is in full swing.

2. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I was practically brought up on Star Wars and so the recent release of the newest one has me pumped for what is to come.

3. Polka dots. I just have something for this pattern at the moment.

4. Outdoor adventures. All the hard work and studying has made me crave being outdoors and exploring.

5. Getting cosy with tea. With the winter months coming up, I'm all too ready to snuggle up and get comfy.

6. Sweater weather. Once again winter is headed my way and I can't wait to pull out all my knitted sweaters and wear them 24/7.

Sometimes I wish life would just slow down.

Welcome to one of possibly many late night ramble posts from me this month. This going to be a stream of consciousness type of thing.

Right now I haven't had anytime today to plan a post, what with being sick and the mountain of uni work that constantly sits in the corner, nagging at me that it needs to be finished.

So this is what leads me to today ramble. How I wish that time would slow down.

I almost feel like there isn't enough hours in the day for me to finish all of the work that I have planned for the day. Like the list magically grows, without me adding anything to it. I feel like time just flies by, and then I realise that I have only put a tiny dent in any to-do list.

If time could slow down I would be able to enjoy the small moments and appreciate the little things. I would be able to finish any work I have to a satisfactory level and not have to stress out about running out of time.

If time could slow down I would be able to get over this flu, without making it worse by not resting and constantly being on the go.

I currently have no time to rest, and yet procrastination is my best form of avoiding any work I have to complete. Like time and my mind are battling for my sanity and the part of me that doesn't want to do any work at all is winning. Slowly.

Life is just a series of moments, and those moments slip away faster that you sometimes wish.

So that was just one late night ramble thought that has been on my mind lately.

Whilst blogging is currently a form of procrastination, it's not one I'm mad about.

Birthdays.

The milestone of every year that represents us getting one year older than we were. 

Today was mine.

Now I must admit, now that I am older I don't quite get excited about it like I did when I was a kid. I find that other people are more excited about it than I am personally, but I wouldn't be able to tell you why that is. Maybe the thought of growing up just frightens me, and I wish that I could be like Peter Pan and the lost boys, and never grow up.

That's not to say that I am truly appreciative of the people who made my day better and filled it with the extra sunshine that one deserves on their special day.

To my family for cheering me up all day and singing happy birthday to me on the phone multiple times.

To my roommate who went out of her way to make me and ice cream cake, of which she is the first person (Outside of my family) to ever make me a cake.

To the girls I work with back home for sending me pictures of the dogs from work with their messages, it cheered me up and made me feel a little bit homesick.

And to everyone who went out of their way to say Happy Birthday, I'm not sure I deserve it from some of you, but thank you anyway.

I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, and that someone puts that little bit of sunshine into your day, like you all deserve.

Easter long weekend

I hope everyone had a great easter, and for those who don't celebrate just a great weekend in general. I had the pleasure of celebrating easter with my roommate, at her family farm. 

It was strange for me. This is the first time in my 22 years of life that I haven't spent the easter weekend with my own family. But the year heading back to Sydney just seemed like an inconvenience as it's rather early on in the semester and such.

I got to do something that I haven't yet done here in Melbourne, which was catch the train to get to her place. Coming from Sydney I am more accustom to catching trains, but here in Melbourne the trams make travelling so much easier, in my opinion.

 I spent the weekend offline, away from the internet and out of reception mostly. In the fresh air and away from the city. 

I also had the joy of cuddling a puppy for the weekend, something I miss doing since I'm not at home and away from work.

I hope you all had good Easters.

Week 1, Year 3: The Final Year

Over the past two years I have written a blog post about my first week at uni for the year. And this year is no different. Minus the fact that this one is running a little late after an absolutely crazy week, of just crazy things. I have finally had the time to sit down and write about the first week of my final year!!

This uni year started out differently than the last two.

For starters I have moved off campus and into a small apartment with one of my close friends. This meant that I didn't need to be down here a week earlier than most, because I only had one o'week to participate in, instead of two.

This meant that my first week was more relaxed and was filled more with getting the things I needed for the year ahead (like a bed), instead of games and parties. Which if I am being honest, I didn't miss at all.

I got to sleep in and watch movies and laze about, for a week, before getting thrown into the deep end of being a third year student.

I found out that living off campus is just as fun as living on campus. Only it's quieter and more peaceful. Which are two things that I don't mind at all.

I hope those of you who have started uni recently are having a blast.

Just a small update.

It has been a while I know. I have many excuses that I could make for my being away, but the reality is I was just out living life, working and enjoying my holidays.

Now the summer is almost over and I am heading back to uni, for my last year. I will be doing things and having fun. I will be trying hard to complete my work and finally finish my studies. 

So here is a little update just to get us started again.

I have spent the summer months working away. It is practically all I did on my holidays, which is kind of what I wanted to do, and on my days off all I did was sleep and be lazy. I got to spend my days with dogs and animals, just being comfortable and at peace with life.

I took chances in life and did things that I had wanted to do for a while, like dyeing my hair. 

I spent time with people who made me happy and made friends with new people.

It has just been a pleasant summer. 

I hope everyone is well. And I hope to see you all soon.
