What do you want to do after university?

 Aside from my internet lifestyle, I work a lot with kids educating them about their options post 16 and 18. We run a variety of sessions and at 90% of the sessions, we have a Q&A section at the end. And someone always asks the dreaded question, “what do you want to do after university?”. Now, this is a valid question to ask but asking that to a current uni student, they are always reluctant to answer. We don’t mean it in a rude way, we just don’t want to think about leaving the safe haven of university.

I have always thrived off being busy. And although I have uni max three days a week, I will always find other things to do to keep me going. But as I am in the final term of my final year, I’ve realised that this is it. I will be stripped of my student identity and I will have to be an actual adult with actual responsibilities. I always knew that was coming, but a part of me thinks I wasn’t quite prepared for this day coming up. I think kids are always curious to see what we want to do with the rest of our lives, but my answer is always I don’t know, but that’s okay. I am only nearly 21 years old and I can’t know what the future holds.

Starting uni really changed my outlook on things; to never say no to free food or other freebie, to always apply because that way, at least you tried and to keep going. But most importantly, the possibilities are endless. Without me even realising, I could go into a job that doesn’t even exist yet. I have said yes to so many great opportunities and has made me reconsider so many different things. I don’t just have to stay in the UK, my degree is a valid career path (as a media student) and I really can do whatever I want (within reason)

So what am I going to do after uni? I’m going to hopefully get a job, move back to London, get a flat, continue creating and see where life takes me. All those things I just wrote, I was too scared to even think about only 2 years ago. To be honest, I am just bullshitting my way through life like I do my essays and its okay that I don’t know what’s next. My university journey is coming to an end but that doesn’t mean I don’t have another great one coming up.
