University // My Thoughts On Going into Third Year

Hey Guys!

Fresher's Week is over and I've had my first official week back at university. Now that everything has settled back down I've been reflecting on the last two years I've had here at Newcastle University and what I'm to expect in my third and final year ❤

Moving back up to Newcastle after a long three-month summer wasn't as stressful this time around (probably because we are staying in the same student house as last year, so all of my belongings were in the room I had in second year). Not having as many possessions to take and knowing I was going to the same house I've already lived in for a year was reassuring as I didn't have to settle in to somewhere new like we all had to do in the first and second year. One thing that has changed this year is that I feel old! I know that sounds ridiculous as I'm only 20 years old, but seeing first years arriving and embarking on a new adventure makes me look back at when I first moved to Newcastle and started university, it makes me feel so old! Also, don't even mention the hangovers now that I'm a year older. You'd think after all this time I'd be able to hack all the nights out and I'd be making the most of Fresher's Week but the hangovers last about two days and I can't deal with it. I just want to sit on the sofa every night and watch The Cry and Goggle Box with a cup of tea haha! 

My Dissertation

This year I am to write a 10,000-word dissertation, along with completing four modules. For my dissertation, I've decided to research and conduct a study on the sexualisation of women in contemporary music videos comparing western music videos to South Korean music videos, exploring why women are sexualised and whether it was their choice. I'm excited to research this area and write up everything but doing a dissertation is so daunting! Especially as it has such a high weighting on my final grade. Third year is going to be stressful! I might as well move into the library now! If any of you have written a dissertation I'd love some advice on how to stay productive and get the most out of my third year!

After Graduation

There are so many things I'm considering to do when I finish and graduate but it's deciding what is the right move to make.  I might stay and do my masters up here in Newcastle, but I'm also contemplating getting into the field and getting some experience, or to go abroad and teach English for a year, or even try something different. There are so many different options after I graduate, but at the moment I'm taking one day at a time. 

I'm sad to be in my last year of university! I'm not ready to leave yet. Going to university has been the best decision I've ever made and I'm sad to leave, my time here has gone by so quick! I've made so many great memories and moving away has helped me become a lot more independent and appreciative. I don't want the experience to be over just yet, so I'll definitely be making the most of it this year ❤

You'll be seeing a lot more university-related content on here this year so look out for that! 

What year are you in now? Or have you already graduated? Let me know in the comments below ❤

See you soon!

Monthly Music Playlist: September/October Favourites

Hey Guys!

I've been so bad at blogging at the moment and I don't even have an excuse I've just been lazy and not as motivated as usual. But now that I'm back at university and actually have a routine to go by I'm slowly getting organised and planning what posts I want to go up in the next couple of weeks ❤
