dropping-out-of-uni - pintsizedsoph

Christmas time last year, I decided to drop out of university and it was hands down the best decision I've made.

For those of you who've read my blog from the beginning, you'll know I was studying English at a university in London - and hated every second of it.

I knew pretty much within the first few weeks that the course was just not for me. Which, for me was strange. I'd always enjoyed Literature, and it was always the subject I excelled in. However, English at university was just not for me.

I dreaded my lectures, and slowly but surely my attendance dropped along with my mental health. I wrote a post about why I was dropping out for those of you interested - and to date, it's still my most read post. This is something I'm proud of.

YOU DON'T JUST HAVE TO SHOP FROM THE FREE-FROM SECTION

Pasta sauces? Curry sauces? Soups? Don’t be tricked into thinking all you can buy is ‘gluten-free’ sauces, when in fact most supermarket products are naturally gluten free, bar the obvious. It just means you have to take a few extra minutes to read the labels. *yawn*

Hola you lovely lot, today's post is a bit of a reflective one I'd say. Do you ever just have those days where you think life is pretty sh*t, and growing up is pretty crap?

I just feel like adulthood just comes from nowhere and slaps you around the face, and suddenly you're forking out for endless bills, a new set of tires and you're expected to save from your minimum wage job?

Yeah, dramatic, but it did.

6 months ago, I was depressed, hating university and miles away from home and the one thing that kept me going was my blog.
