So, here’s my story…
I moved to York in 2013 to study Film and
TV Production at university. Media had been my passion for as long as I could
remember, but more specifically for the previous two years at college. I was full
of dreams and ambition, I was going to succeed and make a name for myself.
Three years flew by in the blink of an eye
and I find myself in the same job I was in for the final two years I was
studying. Fair enough, I’ve had a couple of promotions and I’m now the
Assistant Manager of York’s largest nightclub, well done me, but have I used my
degree? Nope. Am I doing a job I saw myself doing when I was younger? Definitely not. But the most important question for me is, am I happy?
I worked my ass off throughout uni, I
studied full-time and had two part-time jobs at the same time. I progressed
well in both, one from a Sales Assistant to Supervisor/Sunday Manager at
Dorothy Perkins, the other from a Crew member to Assistant Manager at a
nightclub, all whilst I was – somehow – achieving a 2:1 in my degree.
I’ve just taken a week off from my job
whilst its quiet and before all the students come back (I work four days and
five nights a week when the students are around), and its made me realise just
how unhappy I am and how I deserve to find true happiness, find my honest
passions and the right path for me.
This is where emilyjrdn
comes into play. I’m going to change my life, slowly but surely, I’m
going to ensure I find the happiness I deserve and escape the negative aspects
of my current life for good.
