Graduate Girl| My Graduation

Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that I now have letters after my name and am a fully fledged graduate. I graduated from Northumbria University with an Upper Second Class degree in International Business Management; it took me long enough! I am very pleased to have graduated and have some very happy and sad memories from the years I spent studying both in Newcastle and France. I seem to have gone through it all with my studies, so am very relieved to be finished with this stage of my life.

I had a great day, and was a very lucky girl thanks to my ever so generous family. I received so many lovely things; seen above. I was never expecting such great gifts, but cherish every single one, and am happy that I can keep them all as mementos of my special day. I received various Pandora charms, vouchers, the biggest bunch of flowers ever, a Michael Kors rose gold watch, and my first ever pair of Louboutins! I am especially excited about my watch as I have wanted one ever since I first saw one; and obviously over the moon with my Louboutins. I had been joking for months saying I only wanted to graduate wearing a pair of Louboutins, but never in a million years expected to receive a pair.

The day of my graduation seems like such a whirl wind now, I don’t even remember certain things as there was so much to take in. It was a very stressful and overwhelming day, but I will run you through the general idea of my day.

My ceremony started in the morning at 10.30 am, so it was an early morning for me to make sure I was looking my best for it! After my ceremony I met various members of my family for photos, we then all had refreshments of Bucks Fizz and Cupcakes.  I then had professional pictures taken and made a quick stop back at my flat to have a cup of tea and rest; it was an extremely tiring day. I went for Lunch/Dinner in the afternoon at Gustos; one of my favourite restaurants on the Quayside in Newcastle. Dinner and drinks were gorgeous, as always, and it was great to sit down and take in the day as it went by vey quickly. After dinner my family left to travel back home, and my boyfriend took me to Malmasion to toast my achievement with some Champers. We spent some time there relaxing and celebrating then retired home.

Overall I had a lovely day, was lucky to celebrate it with family who spoilt me rotten; and both I and them are proud of my achievement.

I hope my followers and reader who have graduated this year enjoy their special day also.

Congratulations to me

Yes the blog title is a little big headed, but its not everyday that you gain a 2:1 degree, and yesterday was that day. Although I haven’t actually had my graduation, knowing what I am going to be graduating with is such a great feeling. I had been waiting for the result of my dissertation for about two weeks; the last result I needed, and received it yesterday, so was able to figure out my degree class. I had hoped that I would receive a first in my dissertation, and I was so close, but it wasn’t to be. But like everyone keeps saying a 2:1 is still an acceptable mark to gain. 

When I finished work today I came home to a Pandora bag from my Mum and her partner, and every girl gets excited when you see a Pandora bag! I opened the parcel and was over the moon to receive this gorgeous charm for my bracelet. I love the little mortar board and think its the perfect present for my graduation, and great addition to my bracelet. I am getting more and more excited for my Graduation ceremony with each day. I have my dress, but still need to get some shoes and figure out my accessories, but I think the dress is the biggest task, so atleast I have that sorted.

From my previous post you will know that I started my new job yesterday, and although I’ve only finished my second day, I am really enjoying it, I have loads and loads to do, and it’s going to be a big challenge, but I ready to tackle it head on. Although I never realised how tiring working 9 to 5 can be, I come home very tired and ready for my bed! 

I hope my followers who have received their results gained the grade they wanted, let me know!
