Be inspired.

Lately I've been feeling a bit lost, I've been stuggling daily with my new job. It's not what I expected and I'm feeling pretty unhappy about the whole thing. Whilst I've been sitting at my desk for over 7 hours daily doing the same thing over and over again it's made me realise that I need to find a career that will make me happy. 

I've never been quite sure what I've wanted to do career wise since I left college, I tried university twice and felt like I wasn't quite ready, I've got my beauty qualifications but I know that's not a path I really want to take. I've been thinking constantly about becoming a Primary school teacher but it's going to be hard and means going to univesity to study. I've done a few days helping out in a local primary school and have had a great few days and it's made me determined to choose a career that I will want to wake up daily and actually want to get out of bed for! (Sorry for the ramble!) What I'm trying to say is that it's ok not to know what path to take all the time, sometimes the right path is often not the easiest!

I've found Pinterest very inspiring especially some of the quotes I've read, I know everyone goes through these phases of their life where they are unsure of what path to take I just need to remember not to loose myself. 

Here some inspiring quotes that have helped me, I hope they help you too! 

High Heels, High hopes.

HIGH HEELS AND HIGH HOPES. 

I thought this was a good title for this post. Lately i've well been a bit unsettled with my job and let me explain why. In September i went back to University to study for a BA Hons in Photography but wasn't enjoying it so decided to give up my place and work more at my part time job. I currently work at the theatre in my home town as a Box Office Assistant. I'm working around 25-28 hours a week which is ok and the pay is really good for the job. I basically just sell tickets to people either over the counter, on the phone, complete online bookings and do a few other little jobs as well. I've been working at the theatre for four years, i started when i was at college doing a few evenings a week to get some money of my own and i haven't left since. Don't get me wrong i'm REALLY thankful i have a job but i can't help feeling like i want more.  I've been looking but there is NOTHING out there that suits me or am i to picky? I've always had different hopes and different career ideas but have never done anything with them because well i don't know where to start. I change my career mind SO much even my parents think what is she gonna do this week!  I just can't help but feel that i want to do a bit of EVERYTHING with my life. Does anyone else feel like this?

I've found the most perfect empty shop in the town centre that i want to buy and turn into an AMAZING cupcake shop and cute cafe, well for starters i'm only twenty, i have NO idea how to run a business and thirdly haven't got HALF as much as i need to buy a shop! ( The shop is still vacant i walk past it most days on the way to work, it's just the right size and it's got white cute windows it's just PERFECT!)

Last week i wanted to go into FASHION and create different items of clothes and open my own small BOUTIQUE! Well as i've found with all my career ambitions i don't have ANY fashion qualifications or experience!

SO this week i want to become a make up artist for telly shows such as Casualty and do all the GORY make up but as my parents kindly remind me i have no beauty qualifications and it's a really HARD industry to get in to.

So these are a few of my high hopes and career ideas over the past few weeks. As you can see they are VERY different from one another. I know i'm still twenty well twenty - one in about three weeks but i feel like most people know what they want to do career wise by now or are studying to get the qualifications they need in order to get their DREAM CAREER! I know i'm pretty set on not going back to University to get a BA Hons in something or other but i'm starting to question will i get anywhere in life without one? I've got my GCSE's and my A Levels but is that enough? SO many questions that no-one can answer i'm DEFIANTLY one of those people who hate not mapping out their future or it not going the right or which direction to go!

All i know is that i want to be in a job that makes me wake up in the morning and not dread the day ahead, i want to be able to wear my own clothes so show my personality as at the moment i'm having to wear a uniform and i HATE it! I have to wear ALL black and i just think dressed in all BLACK is so depressing! I also want to be one of those women who you see in LONDON carrying nice bags and wearing high heels!  I just want to have the PERFECT career!

I am the only one who feels like they need their life MAPPED out in front of them?

University.

Well i thought there was nothing like writing my first post about my current problems in my life! UNIVERSITY is all i can think about at the moment. I'm currently enrolled on a BA in Photography but i'm not loving the course which has left me in the dilemma of where to go from now on. Everyone around me is either at University or is starting this year including my younger sister who is going to study Law at Oxford Brooks. I feel like i'm getting "old" as i'm twenty and a lot of people who were in my year at school and college are in their final year of their degree where i haven't even decided what i want to do!


I just am finding it hard to pick one degree to study as most days i wake up wanting to take a different career path! I'm forever thinking what if i was a journalist, photographer or worked in the fashion industry  i just can't decide where i want to go but all i know i can't do every career that pop's into my head! 


I really just need to have a good think and be quick about it too as we are pretty much in the middle of September. Where is this year going?! 


I'd love to hear if anyone is stuck in the same boat as me!
