9 years on from graduating!

9 years ago today I sat my last exam at University, handed in my dissertation and officially finished my degree in Global Business and Marketing from Regent's University London

Since graduating, I have had a huge number of incredible experiences, some amazing learnings, some awful experiences and everything in-between!

Today I am sharing with you; 9 things I have learned, 9 things I have achieved, 9 things I haven’t achieved and 9 things I am going to achieve before 10 years of graduating. 

9 Things I Have Learned:

5. Learning to take feedback will change your career forever. 
6. People can be assholes, you have to learn to deal with it.

9. Say YES to every opportunity and figure it out as you go along.

7. Achieve a better work-life balance.
8. Start to invest my money into new areas.

One thing I can say with confidence, is that I am incredibly proud of myself. 

I was the girl that hated school, that struggled despite my parents trying everything to get me to love it. 

I found it hard to sit still in class. I was told ‘If I chatted a little less, and worked a little more, I could do well’.

I was the rebel child and teenager who hated any form of authority (I still do).

But I am so proud of the working woman I have become today, and this is just the beginning!
