Present VS Future

Sunday, July 19, 2015

Recently I read Lauren from DorkFeatures blog post which is all about the future. After having a little chat with her on FB and both of us basically having spoken about worries about the future I thought I would share my own thoughts of it.

In a years time, I will have turned 21 and will be (hopefully) graduating, or have already done it by this time. This thought kind of terrifies me. I have less than 365 days to complete my honours project. To experiment in Education for what is probably the last time. And then go into the 'real', big, bad, scary world!

I'm still not sure what I will be doing this time next year once I've graduated. I want to try and do the "typical, just out of Uni/in their 20's/gap year" thing which would be pretty damn amazing. But I also feel like once I've graduated I need to start looking for a job straight away otherwise I'm never going to find any type of design job.

Obviously this is very irrational, and there will definitely be some sort of job out there. Even if it's not fully focused in design. But I am now in my 20's now and there is so many expectations out there that people usually do during their 20's and some of that expectations I worry if I'll be able to do if I want to travel and I want to have an awesome job as well and have an awesome place to live!

I covered a lot of things I want to do before I turn 30 in my '30 before 30' post but to be honest that is probably only half of the things I actually want to do! Or even feel like I should do. And obviously I'm just freaking out a bit as the process of ageing has somewhat just become a bit more "real" to me now than it had done 5 years ago! It creeps me out that 5 years ago I was still in school, not even sitting my Standard Grades yet and in the next 5 years I'll probably be in some proper type of job funding myself fully! 

Okay... This is obviously a very rambly post about me being scared to hell about the future and what i may, or may not bring but everybody gets that way right? I'm not the only one here having like a quarter-mid-life crises right?! Right, so this is getting a bit much now so I'm going to leave it here. Thanks for reading if you did!

Plus points if you can tell me where the text in the image comes from!
