It would appear that I've somewhat neglected this blog (hint hint the three and a half month gap between posts).
So what's new?
I've started my second year at university. Yes, I somehow survived a year living away from home, thanks to my housemates and copious amounts of food. It's terrifying to think that in a year hand a half or so I'll have graduated and will (hopefully) have nabbed a job as a designer.
Everyone is spending much more time working in the department on projects, which I quite like since it's a more productive working environment and everyone can help one another out.
There's been an obvious step up in terms of workload, and the pressure's definitely on. Which brings me swiftly onto...
I've started trying to handle my worrying and anxiety. It's obvious that I'm a worrier, but a few weeks ago I finally acknowledge that the way I often feel, combined with the thoughts I experience are neither something other people seem to be experiencing regularly, nor are they healthy.
So I decided to start taking steps to rein my worry in again. When things got too much a few weeks ago my first decision was to go to my university's counselling service and then take steps from there. I'd advise anyone to take whatever resources are at their disposal and get the most out of them, particularly is you're at uni as these are usually free and readily available.
I'm working on a personal blog. Tiny Little Victory is my new personal blog, where I'm planning to shift more of the food, music and life-related posts to. It's a working progress and needs a lot of work in terms of layout but it'll get there. I'll also be sharing my experiences handling stress and anxiety and hopefully be passing on some decent advice.
That's all for now! There'll hopefully be some more design-related stuff in the very near future
What has everyone been up to over the summer?
