TGIF! TGIF! Thank God It’s Friday!!
For those who aren’t familiar with this post – Best and Worst is where we all come together to share our defining moments of the week. I’ll go first, because I’ve been waiting three whole years to share this…
Best: I FINISHED UNI!
Yep, that’s right, I made it through. I spent the last two weeks as the library’s most frequent visitor (yes, I know, an accomplishment in itself).
I furiously typed through two major 2000 word+ essays as well as attending group meetings for my third final, and now look at me: free as a bird! All the time in the world and not a care in the world.
Time to do important real life things like.. maybe reading a book or baking. I can wake up whenever I want and I can go out whenever I want (hmm is it just me or does this uni-free life sound a lot like uni life…?)
Worst: I FINISHED UNI!
What the heck am I supposed to do with myself now? I’m feeling a bit like Brennan Huff from Step Brothers right about now: I need someone to show me how I can be a grown-up.
Do I carry my Bachelor degree around? What do you do with your hair? What happens if there’s inclement weather?!? There’s just too much to learn about being an adult that uni really doesn’t prepare you for. I still rely on my iPhone to autocorrect my incoherent text messages – how am I supposed to go out and write a job application? Fortunately for me, I’ve lived out of home for my uni studies so I’m sort of, kind of half way to being a fully-fledged adult…
So, how about you? Anyone else out there got a flip-side best and worst this week?

Hey Andy! Great best/worst article and I totally agree with your mixed feelings about leaving uni for good. But this doesn't mean you automatically turn into a boring grown up! I encourage you to have a gap year to get the most out of life - I've taken 3 so far, one after high school and two during and after uni! And I have no plans on stopping. Gap years and travelling are what makes life fun so get amongst it. Keep up the writing too :)
Thanks for the likes :)
Worst: today I feel an overwhelmingssadness. In the past week ive had 2 customers miscarry which shook me up a bit. And theb today a customer bought ina little 4 day old foster baby shes looking after. The mum drank and got high all throughout the pregnancy an the little bubs been born with a club foot hip dysplasia and they won't know what brain damage is done til he reaches six or seven. The mum left to go back out to the community (to drink) before the bub even had his first feed . Today I feel broken hearted for this beautiful little boy.
Best: mamaias story of the wish granted to the little boy with leukemia ... made me feel a little more hopeful.
