This is my final post on this blog, and I'm quite sad because it has come around far too fast. It doesn't seem long ago that I was nervously awaiting my interview hoping to be hired as a student blogger, and now 33 posts later this is my final post!
For my final post I would like to reflect on my university life now that it is over (or at least over until I hopefully get onto a masters course). I came to university at the end of September 2011, extremely excited and nervous. I hadn't gotten into university halls, which made me all the more nervous about opportunities to meet new people and how my university experience would be. But I got on well with my flat mates in the accommodation we were renting and I soon made friends that will be my lifelong friends forever. In the past three years I have made some great friends, managed to pass assessments and exams and write a dissertation! Almost two weeks ago, I graduated from university with a 2.1 degree, what I had been aiming for since I had started university. Up to date, writing a dissertation and graduating are two of my biggest achievements.
So to summarise, university has been a wonderful experience where I have gained lifelong friends, incredible experiences, new skills and opportunities and of course a good degree that has greatly improved my job prospects. So for now I am working in my summer job and trying to gain volunteering experience to help me move into a Psychology job in the future. I have an interview in a couple of weeks to volunteer with victim support and so things are looking hopeful!
Good luck and thank you to everyone who had been reading my blog posts. I hope that for anyone who is going to university in September that it has been of some help to prepare you for university. Good luck in collecting your results from exams and final assessments and getting your unconditional offers through!
All the best of luck for the future!
Best wishes,
Robyn
